Many of these villages are unsustainable and will dry up like ghost towns in the old west when the gold was mined out. The state can no longer afford to subsidize these villages and as people leave, schools will close and the issue will take care of itself.
It is interesting that they believe they are needed for the extraction of resources. That isn't the way it works. The companies that come in to mine or drill don't need a run down village to make the operation successful. They bring in everything they require to do the work.
The majority of these remote villages are in locations that are not special. It's the same boggy, landscape for miles around. If it was worth anything it would have already seen developments on a large scale.
