This article explores the role of village autonomy in fostering rural independence in Indonesia. Village autonomy, as mandated by national legislation, provides local governments with authority to manage resources, design development programs, and strengthen community participation. By granting villages greater decision-making power, autonomy enhances their capacity to address local needs, improve governance, and promote sustainable economic growth. The study highlights how autonomy contributes to reducing dependency on central government interventions, while also encouraging innovation and accountability at the village level. Ultimately, the article argues that strengthening village autonomy is a crucial pathway toward achieving self-reliant and resilient rural communities in Indonesia.
