Abstract: The article is devoted to the study of rural development problems of the mining region. It has been found that the intensive development of the mining industry is accompanied by negative economic, social and environmental consequences related to the impact on social and economic development and, as a result, the quality of life of the rural population. Intensive development of the coal industry is accompanied by pollution of atmospheric air, rejection of land with high fertile potential, degradation of natural resources of renewable orientation. The introduction of highly toxic and carcinogenic substances of more than 200 species into the air affects the health of the rural population, as mining enterprises are geographically located in rural areas, which has led to a decline in agricultural production and industrial production has become dominant. There is a steady decline in the rural population due to declining fertility and higher mortality rates, which are higher in rural areas than in medium-sized areas. The majority of rural residents cannot benefit from mortgage lending because of their low financial situation. Improvement of housing in rural areas is 2-3 times lower than urban housing. The low efficiency of using factors of production does not allow reaching the level of profitability of agricultural production allowing carrying out extended reproduction. The mechanism is proposed for project management of the rural economy with balanced interaction between federal, regional and local authorities based on organizational, economic and financial measures.
