Devča

Devča is a village situated in the Nišava district in Merošina municipality in Serbia. According to the 2002 census, there were 492 inhabitants (according to the 1991 census, there were 569 inhabitants). The population is completely dedicated to agriculture: fruit growing, vegetables, and to a lesser extent cattle breeding. The current situation in agriculture is very difficult due to the exhaustion of households' own funds, and also due to the lack of agricultural cooperatives. A larger number of younger residents are employed in the nearby towns of Niš and Prokuplje. In recent years, about 9 kilometers of road infrastructure has been renewed; a new primary school has been built, as well as a preschool institution.
