The activities of people's representatives in studying local problems, identifying and eliminating difficulties, as well as providing social support to the population, are of great importance. These events are held in districts, as well as in neighborhoods and quarters.
Ulugbek Inoyatov, head of the faction of the People's Democratic Party of Uzbekistan in the lower house of parliament, is conducting inspections of social facilities in Urganch district of Khorezm region and meeting with voters and residents.
During his visit, U. Inoyatov visited secondary school No. 38 in the district, where he familiarized himself with the progress of reconstruction work. This school, which educates over a thousand students, is being fully renovated under the 'Initiative Budget' based on a deputy's request. Recommendations were given regarding the quality and timely completion of repair work according to the established schedule, as well as the effective organization of the process of preparing for the new academic year.
A meeting was held with the 'neighborhood community' in the 'Arboblar' quarter of the district, during which the progress of work in several areas was analyzed: teaching youth crafts, increasing women's economic activity, social support for needy families, and creating favorable conditions for citizens wishing to start their own business.
During the meetings, appeals from representatives of the quarters were heard, and measures to resolve them were determined jointly with deputies of the local Council and heads of organizations.
In addition, Deputy Durbek Akhmedov of the Legislative Chamber visits quarters in Uchtepa district of Tashkent city, as well as socio-economic facilities, holding open discussions with residents. Measures are being taken to eliminate identified shortcomings and problems while studying socio-economic facilities in the region.
Large-scale work is underway in the country aimed at comprehensive support for business entities, creating favorable conditions for their free activity, and improving the business climate.
As part of these efforts, another open dialogue with entrepreneurs was held in the capital. The event took place in the conference hall of the 'Samo' training center, located in the Uchtep district.
The meeting was attended by the head of the Bunod district, Mamadjanov, and the director of the Tashkent City Branch of the Business Ombudsman Department, Farhod Ahmedov. The dialogue proceeded in an atmosphere of sincerity and constructiveness.
During the gathering, issues regarding support for entrepreneurs, timely identification and elimination of problems arising during their activities, as well as reliable protection of their rights and legitimate interests, were discussed. Furthermore, the topic of improving the investment and business environment in the region was considered.
Entrepreneurs presented numerous appeals and suggestions regarding the expansion of their activities, obtaining loans, as well as issues related to land plots and buildings, alongside other practical problems.
Each appeal was carefully heard, and corresponding targeted assignments were issued for their prompt and lawful resolution.
It is emphasized that such open dialogues contribute to the quick resolution of entrepreneurs' problems, strengthening cooperation between state bodies and business representatives, and increasing the level of business activity in the region.
Large-scale reforms are being implemented in the country, shaping a completely new approach in industrial sectors. The goals set by the head of state regarding economic digitalization, the introduction of innovative technologies, increasing production efficiency, and localization levels are being systematically fulfilled. One such enterprise is the Muruntov mine, which is considered one of the pillars of the country's economy.
This mine, recognized as one of the world's largest open-pit mining sites, is undergoing an extensive modernization process. Through the rational use of geological reserves, expansion of production capacities, implementation of digital management systems, and investment in human capital, the mine demonstrates high efficiency at both republican and international levels.
According to the head of the Muruntov mine, Nuriddin Kamolov, the greatest wealth of the mine is its human capital. Currently, 3162 local specialists work here, covering 126 professions. The complexity of production processes requires high qualifications and modern knowledge from engineers and workers, so the system for training, retraining, and improving personnel qualifications is constantly being improved.
According to available data, 97.85 million cubic meters of ore mass were mined in 2024, while this figure is expected to reach 117.8 million cubic meters in 2025. The plan for 2026 is set at 200.75 million cubic meters. This demonstrates the implementation of a large-scale program aimed at nearly doubling production volume in a short period.
The increase in extraction volumes is also taking drilling operations to a new level. In 2024, 2.8 million linear meters of work were performed on 27 drilling rigs; in 2025, this figure will increase to 3.72 million linear meters on 29 rigs. For 2026, 7.79 million linear meters of work are planned using 38 drilling rigs. This is the result of reforms aimed at improving working conditions and increasing the pay of highly qualified personnel, as well as increasing the demand for them.
Innovative methods are also being introduced in blasting operations. Considering the changing characteristics of rocks as the pit deepens, individual charge parameters are calculated for each borehole. As a result, if 66.6 million cubic meters were blasted in 2024 and 93.3 million cubic meters in 2025, the target for 2026 is set at 182.4 million cubic meters. The technology of individual charging contributes to reducing energy consumption, improving granulometric composition, and increasing extraction efficiency.
Technical modernization is also continuing in the extraction and transportation processes. Currently, 37 powerful electric and 19 hydraulic excavators operate effectively at the mine. The repair system has been completely modernized, and the major overhaul period has been reduced from the previous 90 days to 20-25 days. Importantly, equipment repair is carried out directly at the mine, significantly reducing production downtime. Furthermore, import substitution policy is strengthening through the localization of spare parts production in the workshops for equipment and mining machinery repair.
Digitalization and technological modernization have also been reflected in the transport system. Thanks to the phased expansion of conveyor lines, the volume of ore transported in the first quarter of 2026 was 8.14 million cubic meters, which is 73% more than in the same period of 2025. The commissioning of a new 4-conveyor line further increases logistical efficiency and helps reduce transport costs.
Another important aspect of rational resource use in the mine is laboratory analysis. For this purpose, the Central Laboratory of Gamma Activation Analysis is equipped with modern technologies and has become one of the largest and most efficient laboratories in the world. This allows for assessing gold content in ore with high accuracy and planning production processes on a scientific basis.
A goal was set by the President to significantly increase the volume of precious metal extraction by 2030. When implementing these strategic goals at the Muruntov mine, special attention is paid to innovative technologies, digital solutions, and rationalization proposals. It is predicted that rationalization proposals implemented in the first quarter of 2026 will bring an economic benefit of about 550 billion sums.
Today, the Muruntov mine is transforming into a modern industrial complex based on high technology, innovative engineering solutions, digital control, and the cohesion of qualified personnel. The continuous growth of production capacity, improvement of technological processes, localization, and the implementation of energy and resource-saving solutions convincingly confirm the practical results of the economic reforms being conducted in the country.
Thus, the reforms being carried out at the Muruntov mine are not limited to increasing production volumes. They are forming a new industrial culture based on modern management, innovation, human capital, and high productivity. This allows Muruntov to firmly establish itself not only as a strategic pillar of Uzbekistan's economy but also as a center of advanced experience and high technology in the global mining industry.
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.
