The mahalla model, which has ushered in a new stage in the legal development of the Republic of Uzbekistan within the framework of the New Uzbekistan development strategy, is acquiring particular significance due to its distinctive characteristics, uniqueness, and effectiveness. It is noteworthy that this system formally operates exclusively in Uzbekistan. As a unique model of national self-governance at the community level, the mahalla is grounded in the centuries-old traditions and customs of the Uzbek people and performs important organizational, socio-economic, and educational functions. This article provides a comprehensive analysis of the reforms and transformations implemented within the mahalla system, as well as the state programs adopted in this sphere, which have been identified as one of the priority directions of public policy. Furthermore, the paper examines the role and importance of the mahalla institution in the socio-political life of Uzbekistan and highlights the growing attention devoted to its development in contemporary conditions.
