The Barouka Rural Council ranks first in the district by population. Two thousand nine hundred and seventy-eight citizens reside within its territory, all of them inhabitants of the village of Barouka. The improvement of the settlement, assistance in resolving citizens' social and domestic problems – these and many other issues are within the scope of the rural executive committee.

It has become a good tradition in the rural council at the beginning of the year, in conjunction with the staff of the Department of Labour, Employment and Social Protection of the District Executive Committee, to conduct surveys of the living conditions of single elderly citizens and large families. Based on the survey results, an action plan is drawn up and implemented promptly. For instance, electrical outlets and switches were replaced in the apartment of a single elderly woman, Halina Ramanava. The work on surveying the living conditions of single elderly citizens continues to this day.

Improvement is one of the main areas of work. This year, the capital repair of house No. 10, located opposite the secondary school building, has been completed, and the capital repair of house No. 5/2 is planned. The construction of a new 60-apartment building for citizens in need of improved housing conditions is planned in the settlement area. The construction of a new building for the State Enterprise "Children's Rehabilitation and Health Resort Centre "Zhemchuzhina" is ongoing. Employees of institutions and organisations located within the territory of the Barouka Rural Council monitor order in their assigned areas and tend to flowerbeds. Residents of houses maintain order near the entrances. Furthermore, local residents actively participate in all community clean-up days.

A comprehensive range of necessary medical services is provided at the Barouka General Practitioner's Outpatient Clinic, which employs a general practitioner, a dentist, a paramedic, a pediatrician, a laboratory paramedic, a general practice paramedic, a midwife, nurses, etc. The outpatient clinic serves not only the residents of Barouka but also the inhabitants of nearby villages.

Many cultural events in Borovka become bright, memorable occasions and always attract a large audience. This year's Kupala Night celebration was an unforgettable event. The regional youth festival "Belye Rosy" (White Dews), which celebrated its 25th anniversary this year, gathered many guests.

The performances of the vocal group "Sudarushka" at the day care department for the elderly of the state institution "Territorial Centre for Social Services of Lepel District" under the direction of Nina Bezdenezhnykh were greatly appreciated by the audience. The singing of the participants of the vocal group "Akholitsa" of the Borovka Centre for Culture and Leisure leaves many pleasant impressions for fans of amateur art.

Every year, charity Easter fairs are held at the Borovka Centre for Culture and Leisure with the participation of Vladimir Kazhanovsky, the rector of the Church of the Icon of the Mother of God "The Unfading Cup". Last year, the funds raised during the fair were directed to the 24-hour care department for the elderly "Sviatlica" of the state institution "Territorial Centre for Social Services of the Population", and this year they were received by families in Lepel who suffered from fires.

This year, conscripts called up for service in the Zaslonovo garrison units took their solemn oath of allegiance to the Motherland for the first time near the building of the Borovka Centre for Culture and Leisure. Many residents and guests of Borovka had the opportunity to witness this event. Such events popularise service in the Armed Forces.
