The country is creating broad opportunities for comprehensive support of youth, including gaining knowledge, mastering modern professions, engaging in entrepreneurship, and finding decent jobs. The goal of these systemic reforms is to realize the aspirations of young people and to raise them into mature and competitive personnel capable of contributing to the development of the Motherland.
In the capital, district head Mirzo Ulugbek met with young people who honorably completed a year of military service. During this meeting, it was particularly emphasized that defending the Fatherland is a sacred duty of every citizen, and military service plays an important role in increasing the patriotism, responsibility, and life experience of young people.
During the dialogue, the youth's future plans, employment security, acquisition of professional skills, and desire for higher education were discussed. Furthermore, young people were provided with detailed information about the opportunities created by the state, programs, and benefits aimed at supporting youth.
Young people shared their impressions, emphasizing that the experience and knowledge gained during military service are of great importance for their future lives. Following the meeting, the initiatives and proposals of the youth were heard, and responsible officials were assigned corresponding tasks for their comprehensive support, employment security, and increased activity in society.
A similar meeting was organized in the Yangihaot district, where the district head, the head of the FMB district's IIO, responsible managers, and residents of the settlements met with young people returning from military service. The event took place in the format of an open dialogue, where the youth's plans, questions, opinions, and suggestions were heard.
During the event, recommendations were provided regarding educational opportunities, employment security, benefits provided by current legislation, as well as conditions created for young people. District head Sergeli Davron Ismatov and the heads of the DHH district closely examined the problems and proposals raised by the youth.
A priority task was established to educate youth in the spirit of patriotism, enhance their military competence, provide practical assistance with submitting documents to the Security Service, the Internal Affairs Academy, and other law enforcement agencies, as well as ensure their permanent employment. The meeting gathered 30 young people; 12 of them received offers for relevant jobs, and a list was compiled, while one young person was hired by the Security Service on the spot.
Work was discussed to expand youth opportunities in learning modern professions, mastering foreign languages, as well as in the fields of science, innovation, information technology, and entrepreneurship. Practical measures were defined to ensure youth employment, support their initiatives, and implement business projects.
It was noted that such meetings ensure the consistent resolution of youth problems, their support, and increased activity in society.
Events named 'Book Reading Hour' are held regularly. Reading books helps develop a person's thinking, enriches their spiritual world, and creates a solid foundation for achieving high results in professional activities.
The Sirdarya–Zarafshon Reservoir Systems management, operating in the city of Jizkazh, regularly organizes 'Book Reading Hour' events. The goal of these events is to increase the culture of book-loving among employees, strengthen interest in reading, and reinforce the spiritual and educational environment.
During a recent training session, employees of the central management apparatus reviewed fiction, popular science, and spiritual literature, as well as current articles, newspapers, and magazines published in republican and online editions. During the study of the works, their meaning and essence were discussed, opinions were expressed regarding the life ideas, scientific views, and moral values presented in the books.
Such events not only enhance the intellectual potential of employees but also contribute to developing critical thinking skills, broadening horizons, strengthening moral qualities, and performing official duties more effectively. It is especially important that creating a culture of book-loving plays a key role in fostering a desire for knowledge, self-improvement, and a culture of constant seeking within the collective.
The development of book-loving among the population, especially youth and workers, is supported at the state policy level. An important legal basis is the Decree of the President of the Republic of Uzbekistan dated January 15, 2026, 'On Measures to Develop the Culture of Book-Loving and Increase Public Interest in Reading.' This document defines broad objectives aimed at increasing the level of book-loving among the population during the 2026–2030 period, widely promoting reading, establishing a fund for the development of book-loving culture, supporting the best national and foreign literature, and turning reading into a lifestyle.
Within the framework of fulfilling these tasks, the scope of spiritual and educational projects, reading hours, and literary meetings aimed at popularizing book-loving in state and public organizations, educational institutions, and labor collectives is constantly growing. The 'Book Reading Hour' event held by the Sirdarya–Zarafshon Reservoir Systems management is one of the initiatives aligned with these noble goals.
These events, aimed at encouraging book-loving, increasing interest in reading, and strengthening a healthy spiritual environment in the management, continue to be held consistently, serving to enhance the intellectual and spiritual potential of the staff. Thus, reading books continues to strengthen its significance as an important factor in educating knowledgeable, well-informed, and highly responsible specialists.
The fight against corruption, ensuring legality and transparency in public services, as well as taking measures against abuse of official authority, has become one of the priority areas of state policy in the country. Consistent and prompt actions by law enforcement agencies in this area contribute not only to crime prevention but also to strengthening public trust in state institutions.
During a recent operational event, law enforcement officers detained an employee of the Investment and Foreign Trade Department of the Zhizkh region. The detention occurred while he was receiving the remaining 900 US dollars out of the required 1000 US dollars for the allocation of a land plot.
According to preliminary information, this amount was demanded in exchange for a promise to assist in allocating land for an elite commercial and industrial object, utilizing connections within the power system.
Checks are currently being conducted regarding this incident. It is emphasized that all such cases will be legally assessed in accordance with established legal procedures.
Such situations once again remind us that official powers are not a source of personal gain, but rather a responsibility to the people. Retail trade and any corrupt crimes not only violate the law but also cause serious damage to the openness of public administration, the principles of justice, and societal development. There is a saying among our people: 'What is obtained dishonestly leads to dishonesty.'
The country's anti-corruption system is constantly being improved. The adopted legal documents are aimed at further strengthening the principles of honesty, openness, and accountability in public service. In particular, the Presidential Decree adopted on April 21, 2025, 'On Measures for the Effective Organization of Priority Tasks for Improving the Anti-Corruption System,' aims to strengthen preventive measures, introduce effective mechanisms to counteract the use of official powers for personal gain, and form an absolutely zero-tolerance environment for corruption.
In a society where the rule of law is guaranteed, no offense will go unpunished. Ensuring the legal assessment of every illegal action and determining the responsibility of the guilty parties is one of the most important factors in increasing the effectiveness of the fight against corruption, creating an atmosphere of honesty in public service, and strengthening public trust.
