It was decided that priority would be given to the education and health sectors and intra-village road with the first installment of funds provided by the government.

MLA Mithi also committed to earmark funds from MLALAD for critical gap funding to make Denlo a true model village. All were appreciative of a villager who came forward to voluntarily donate 2500 square meters of land for the establishment of a new health unit at Denlo, which has already been notified by the state government.

Mithi advised all to work together with a united and concentrated effort for the development of the village as projects were prioritized according to the needs and suggestions provided by the people of the village. He said that the selection of Denlo village as a model village was the fulfillment of a promise he had made to the villagers to solve their problems of access to drinking water, basic healthcare and educational facilities.
