In 2020, Tegal Yoso Village was starting to change the face of the village with the presence of the smart village program; it was initiated by the Governor and Deputy Governor of Lampung. This program aims to optimize services to the society to be more professional, transparent, effective and efficient. Deliver public information that can be accessed easily, cheaply, anywhere and anytime.

In 2021, the presence of the Way Seputih Conservation Foundation (YKWS) and the Forum for the Environment (WALHI) in Tegal Yoso Village played a very important role in realizing the implementation of smart village.

This foundation teaches the society members to recognize village history, society trends when changes happen, society local wisdom, mapping potentials and problems, studying livelihoods and seasonal calendars, as well as discovering the concept of society empowerment.

The empowerment of the Tegal Yoso society has begun to be organized, starting with revitalizing the use of the yard as a vegetable growing area, cultivating honey clanceng (Trigona), Village Schools and culinary tourism. Of course the current challenge is to ensure its sustainability.
