We focus on exploring the status of rural areas, identifying their potential, developing sound mechanisms to spur sustainable rural development and involve local governments in the implementation of relevant policy measures. Methods. The study draws on general scientific methods of analysis, including the techniques of statistical and logical analysis. Results. The study established that the rural areas of the Republic of Dagestan are deteriorating; the migration flow of rural population to urban areas continues. Private subsidiary farming is the most important source of income generation for rural population, the capacity of agricultural organizations is noticeably impaired. Conclusions.
