As part of the celebration of the 35th anniversary of the state sovereignty of the Republic of Uzbekistan, a modern educational center for youth was handed over for use in the village of 'Turttom' of the Zomin district rural council in Jizzakh region.
This new educational facility was created as an important opportunity for rural youth to gain knowledge, acquire vocational and technical skills, and obtain modern competencies. Representatives of the district administration, village activists, public figures, youth, and members of the general public took part in the opening ceremony.
It was particularly emphasized at the event that supporting youth in the country, increasing their intellectual potential, professional training, ensuring employment, and encouraging entrepreneurial initiative are among the key directions of state policy. The new center is designed to help young residents of the village organize their free time meaningfully, provide them with modern knowledge and practical skills, and shape competitive specialists for the labor market. All necessary conditions have been created here for youth education.
The project was implemented within the framework of the 'Kumak' (Help) program, which allocated 130 million sums in the form of credit funds. Entrepreneur Akhmadali Ergashev ensured the high-quality completion of construction work in a short period, building an educational center that meets modern requirements.
This initiative is a practical embodiment of the consistent reforms carried out by the state in the field of supporting the private sector, stimulating entrepreneurship, and expanding educational infrastructure for youth. In particular, the 'Kumak' project, aimed at forming a modern educational environment in remote areas, has proven to be an effective mechanism. These projects are seen as a logical continuation of reforms in the country's youth policy. Of particular importance is the Decree of the President of the Republic of Uzbekistan dated March 26, 2025, 'On measures to implement the tasks set during the open dialogue with the youth of the Republic of Uzbekistan,' which defined priority tasks for youth education, professional training, involvement in entrepreneurial activities, and creating new opportunities for them. The educational center in Zomin district is one of the important projects ensuring the practical implementation of these tasks.
At the end of the event, the ribbon of the educational center was solemnly cut, and participants familiarized themselves with the modern classrooms, learning conditions, and opportunities offered to the rural youth. There is confidence that the new educational center will become a hub of knowledge and professional training for the youth of the 'Turttom' MFI and Zomin district, contributing to their development as qualified specialists possessing modern knowledge and skills.
Another joyful event took place for the residents of the Mirzaobod district on the eve of the 35th anniversary of independence. Preschool Educational Institution No. 17, located in the village of Dekhkonobod, has been completely renovated and solemnly commissioned.
This project was implemented as part of fulfilling the President's decree of March 3, 2025, 'On measures for the active development of the social and production infrastructure of Syrdarya region,' and serves as a worthy gift to the population ahead of the Independence holiday.
Four billion 600 million sums were allocated for the implementation of this project. During the renovation work, both the exterior and interior parts of the institution were completely updated. Group and classroom rooms, dormitories, dining hall, sanitary facilities, engineering and communication networks were modernized, and the territory was equipped in accordance with modern requirements. The institution was also provided with modern furniture, educational and upbringing aids, and necessary equipment.
The official opening ceremony was attended by the head of the Mirzaobod district, Abdurakhim Umarov, industry employees, public figures, parents, and village activists. At the event, it was emphasized that developing the preschool education system, strengthening its material and technical base, and creating a favorable environment for every child are among the stable directions of state policy in the country.
All conditions for the harmonious and full development of pupils have been created in the renovated institution. Bright and spacious group rooms, clean dormitories, a modern dining hall, rooms for music and physical education classes, safe playgrounds, and an improved territory contribute to the quality education and upbringing of young children.
Currently, the coverage of preschool education in the Mirzaobod district exceeds 86.9 percent. This indicator is a vivid testament to the effectiveness of reforms being carried out in this area, as well as efforts to modernize educational institutions and create new infrastructure.
Ahead of the 35th anniversary of the Republic of Uzbekistan's Independence, a working group of the Ministry of Emergency Situations organized large-scale spiritual and educational events in several cities and districts of the Zhizakh region under the slogan 'A strong family is the foundation of peaceful life and a bright future.'
These events, initiated by the working group of the Ministry of Emergency Situations, took place with the participation of the Zhizakh regional emergency management department, the regional military prosecutor's office, the regional department for family and women's affairs, and the regional council of the Youth Union of Uzbekistan. Military personnel, employees, and their families participated in them.
Within the framework of the events held at the Zhizakh Polytechnic Institute, lectures were conducted on strengthening the family institution, creating a healthy spiritual environment, preserving national and family values, and increasing parental responsibility in raising children. Special attention was paid to strengthening an atmosphere of mutual respect, love, and solidarity in the family.
It was emphasized that strengthening the family institution and comprehensive support for women and families are priority areas of state policy in the country. In particular, based on the President's Decree of March 3, 2022, 'On measures to further strengthen support for families and women,' a completely new system of family support in social, spiritual, and psychological aspects was formed. Large-scale work is being carried out within the framework of implementing this document, aimed at targeted work with families in settlements, strengthening spiritual and educational propaganda, and increasing the legal and psychological literacy of the population, especially young families.
During the events, a military psychologist conducted practical psychological training for military personnel aimed at forming a healthy psychological climate in the collective, stress management, ensuring mental resilience in service activities, and developing communication skills. Participants were given practical recommendations on effectively managing various emotional states that may arise during service, as well as on strengthening mutual trust and solidarity in the team and constructively resolving conflict situations.
A book exhibition, organized in the 2nd academic building of the Zhizakh Polytechnic Institute, also attracted great interest from participants. The exhibition featured works addressing themes of family values, spiritual education, patriotism, and personal self-improvement.
In addition, open dialogues were organized, during which specialists from relevant fields provided detailed answers to participants' questions. The spiritual and educational events concluded with sports competitions under the slogan 'My father, my mother, and I—our sports family!'. The competitions, testing agility, speed, and accuracy, attracted great public attention. Winners and prize-winners were awarded diplomas, valuable, and commemorative gifts from the organizers.
It is confirmed that such spiritual, educational, and psychological events contribute to strengthening mutual understanding between military personnel and their families, forming a healthy spiritual environment, supporting the family institution, and ensuring a stable social situation in society.
As part of the reforms being carried out in New Uzbekistan, one of the priority areas has been attention to the individual, care for their dignity and health. Thanks to comprehensive support and the provision of targeted social services to people with disabilities, lonely elderly citizens, and those in need of assistance, their quality of life is improving.
A vivid example of such positive changes is demonstrated by the story of one family in the Kogon district of Bukhara region. In the village of Kogon mahalla, where more than three thousand people live, there are 70 people with disabilities, 4 people with disabilities requiring constant care, and two lonely elderly people.
The mahalla's social worker, Nodirbek Khamidov, individually studied the needs of each of these citizens and provided them with targeted social assistance and services.
One such person is Turaqul Bobo Botirov. This elderly man, who suffered a stroke several years ago, was unable to get out of bed for a long time. This difficult ordeal changed not only his life but also that of his wife, Sharofat opa Narziyeva, who cared for Turaqul Bobo with love and patience for years.
After a comprehensive study of the family's social situation, the mahalla's social worker included Turaqul Bobo in the list of lonely elderly citizens and provided him with social and domestic services at home under the 'Active Life' program.
Under this program, Turaqul Bobo regularly underwent in-depth medical examinations, and his hospitalization in sanatorium and health resorts for health recovery was organized. Rehabilitation procedures conducted under the supervision of specialists played an important role in restoring his health.
Material support for the family was also not overlooked. A one-time financial aid was provided on the occasion of the autumn-winter season and the Ramadan holiday, which helped ensure the family's daily needs and improve their living conditions.
The most joyful result was that the provided medical and social services proved to be more effective than expected. Turaqul Bobo, who was previously completely confined to bed, has now started walking independently, strictly following the doctors' recommendations. Every step he takes is a testament to the success of the efforts of his loved ones and the people who helped him.
This case confirms the truth: if a person is given care, attention, and targeted help, even the most difficult trials can be overcome. The recovery of one person's health brings a smile to the whole family and revives hope in its heart.
These good deeds carried out in the Kogon mahalla clearly show that the social protection system serves not only to provide assistance but also to return a person to an active life. Turaqul Bobo's life journey is a bright and instructive example that when love, care, and state attention are combined, results comparable to a miracle can be achieved.
