Abstract

This article provides a scientific analysis of the role of the 'Mahalla' institution in spiritual development during the progress stage of the New Uzbekistan. It explores its functional significance in ensuring social stability, civic solidarity, and fostering a healthy socio-spiritual environment. The study highlights the priority areas of improving spiritual and educational work in the mahalla, strengthening youth education, strengthening family values, developing reading and a cultural environment, and systematizing family-mahalla-educational institution cooperation. Also, institutional mechanisms, territorial approaches and practical proposals for increasing the spiritual potential of the mahalla are developed. The thesis interprets the issue of spiritual growth as an important component of the development strategy of New Uzbekistan. As a scientific conclusion, it can be noted that the mahalla is not only a social institution, but also a model of spiritual governance of New Uzbekistan.
