Activities under the 'Month of Beautification and Charity' and '40 Days of Urgent Matters,' announced for the 35th anniversary of the country's independence, are being consistently held in the cities and districts of the Tashkent region. These campaigns are aimed at improving the environment, landscaping, charity, and solidarity.
In the village of Akhil, Yangiyl district, events were held with the participation of deputies of the People's Deputies of the Tashkent Regional Council, Akbar Nosirov, head of the 'Nuroniy' fund department of the region, as well as activists, nuroniy, and citizens. The meeting discussed issues of expanding work on the beautification and landscaping of mahallas, ensuring freedom in the districts, protecting the environment, improving ecological culture, and strengthening the atmosphere of love, compassion, and solidarity among the population.
It was emphasized that such initiatives contribute to forming a prosperous and pleasant environment in mahallas, increasing the social activity of residents, and strengthening virtues such as generosity and mutual respect.
In the city of Nurafshon, a large-scale cleaning and beautification of the 'Akhtam Sahoba' cemetery was organized as part of this month. More than a thousand citizens, mahalla activists, nuroniy, youth, and public representatives took part in the event. During the cleanup, the cemetery area was cleared of trash, trees were pruned and maintained, and the areas were landscaped and tidied up. The main goal of this campaign is to preserve sacred places, make the environment more picturesque, and actively promote the ideas of love, mercy, and solidarity among the population.
In the Uvak mahalla of Okhangaron district, a charitable event was held with the participation of youth who have limited opportunities and belong to low-income families. Under the guidance of Nodir Khozhiev, head of the Tashkent Region Youth Affairs Department, the youth tidied up the yard and garden of the family, painted the walls and steps, making the surroundings of the house well-maintained.
Such good deeds help strengthen affection and solidarity among residents, support needy families, and make the appearance of mahallas more prosperous and beautiful.
The state policy in the country has been elevated to a national priority with the aim of protecting public health, modernizing the medical system, and ensuring the sector is staffed with highly qualified personnel. Thanks to the President's initiative, comprehensive measures have been implemented in recent years to reform the healthcare system, improve medical education in line with international standards, and, most importantly, provide decent employment for young graduates of higher education.
As part of these noble goals, a 'Job Fair' was held at the Abu Ali ibn Sina State Medical Institute to help graduate residents and master's students find employment. This event served as an important platform assisting young people in taking a confident step into their professional careers.
The event was conducted at a high level as part of the implementation of the 'Roadmap' approved by the Ministry of Health of the Republic of Uzbekistan and the Khokimiyat of the Bukhara Region. Attendees included the Rector of the institute, Doctor of Medical Sciences, Professor Shukhrat Teshaev; the Deputy Director of the Republican Specialized Scientific and Practical Medical Center named after Academician V. Vohidov, Doctor of Medical Sciences, Professor Said Ismoilov; Khushnud Jalilov, First Deputy Head of the Healthcare Department of the Bukhara Region; heads of medical institutions; leaders of regional medical associations; as well as representatives from the healthcare systems of Kashkadarya, Navoi, and Surkhandarya regions.
At the beginning of the event, guests were introduced to the extensive updates made at the institute over the past years. They toured the modern diagnostic and treatment equipment in the institute's clinic, high-tech medical services, the scientific laboratory of folk medicine, and a museum reflecting the rich history of the institute, highly appreciating the alignment between education and practice.
The main part of the fair presented vacancies in various regions of the country for 304 graduates completing their studies at the institute in 2026. Among them, 82 are master's students, and 222 are clinical residents. During the event, each graduate communicated directly with employers, considering their specialization, interests, and future career path. This provided young specialists with the opportunity to realize their knowledge and potential in a respectable workplace.
More than 200 employment contracts were signed following the fair. Notably, over 30 bachelor's degree graduates who previously struggled to find work also secured suitable positions in their specialty. This underscores the practical effectiveness of the event and its focus on supporting youth.
Representatives of the healthcare departments of Navoi, Kashkadarya, and Surkhandarya regions also provided detailed information about staffing needs, available vacancies, and working conditions in their regions, concluding employment agreements with graduates. Furthermore, issues regarding the procedure for hiring young people, opportunities for service, and prospects for professional growth were clarified.
Such practical events are a living embodiment of the principles promoted by the President, such as 'the value of man,' 'quality medical services,' and 'providing youth with decent work.' After all, a qualified doctor is a reliable pillar of national health, and their labor is one of the most important factors in societal development.
This 'Job Fair,' organized at the Abu Ali ibn Sina State Medical Institute, marked an important step toward ensuring that the country's healthcare system is staffed with educated, proactive, and modern thinkers, realizing the dreams and aspirations of young doctors and guiding them toward dignified employment. Undoubtedly, every young specialist who finds a job today will become a qualified doctor of tomorrow and a responsible employee, making a worthy contribution to the country's development by caring for the health of thousands of people.
A critical and analytical review was conducted in Zhizakh of programs aimed at improving the quality of life of the population, modernizing mahalla infrastructure, and reducing poverty. At a meeting chaired by the region's head, Ulugbek Mustafayev, the level of effectiveness of work under the 'Initiative Budget' and mahalla-level programs was analyzed in detail, and specific mechanisms for eliminating existing problems were identified.
It was emphasized that projects formed based on citizen initiatives and selected through voting are becoming an effective tool for ensuring openness, transparency, and public control in mahallas. This approach not only expands the participation of the population in public administration but also allows for addressing the most pressing needs of the mahalla in a targeted manner.
To date, 1 trillion 100 billion sums have been allocated from the budget funds within the 'Initiative Budget,' which has allowed for the financing of thousands of projects. As a result, issues related to roads, engineering and communication networks, social facilities, and other infrastructure affecting the daily lives of the population have been resolved in stages in 241 mahallas across the region.
Practical results were analyzed at the meeting. In particular, the Khalqobod mahalla in Sharof Rashidov district has won the 'Initiative Budget' projects six times. Thanks to this, all dirt and earth roads in the mahalla have been completely renovated, creating a comfortable transport environment for residents.
Measures to reduce poverty were examined separately. The experience of the Bogishamol mahalla in Pakhtakor district was recognized as an effective model. In this mahalla, thanks to the allocation of preferential loans for heating in 100 households, the annual income of families increased several times. Furthermore, directing produced goods to export contributes to the sustainable growth of the local mahalla economy.
In this regard, all city and district heads were tasked with intensifying systematic work to increase the number of income-generating projects in each region, especially by attracting unemployed youth, citizens returning from military service, and needy families to entrepreneurial activities.
These tasks align with the priority directions established in the President's decree on the first measures to implement the 'From Poverty to Prosperity' program dated September 23, 2024. In accordance with this decree, comprehensive measures are being implemented to improve infrastructure in the most disadvantaged mahallas, ensure employment, and expand sources of income.
It was noted that 145 billion sums were allocated under this program to provide water and electricity to 58 disadvantaged mahallas in the region. These funds allowed for the commissioning of important facilities such as water supply structures, pumping units, wells, electrical networks, and transformers, significantly improving the engineering infrastructure of the mahallas.
A critical discussion was also held regarding infrastructure development based on energy-saving technologies. It was noted that the transition of wells and pumps to alternative energy sources is slower than expected. Currently, solar panels are installed in only 16 facilities, and strict targets have been set for the phased transition of all pumps to energy-saving systems. Responsible organizations have been instructed to legalize the necessary cadastral documents within one week.
Special attention was paid to programs for forming mahallas in the 'New Uzbekistan' image and developing hard-to-reach areas. 553 billion sums have been allocated in this direction for 266 facilities. Problems slowing down construction work were analyzed from both sides, and clear instructions were given to clients and local administrations on promptly identifying contractors, resolving all organizational issues in a short time, and handing over facilities for use within the established deadlines.
Following the meeting, strict requirements were set for city and district heads, industry leaders, and clients to ensure the uninterrupted execution of assigned tasks, as well as to establish constant control over the quality, deadlines, and effective use of funds at every facility.
It was concluded that the implementation of mahalla-level programs, the 'Initiative Budget,' and the 'From Poverty to Prosperity' program is becoming an important factor in the comprehensive development of territories. Importantly, this process goes beyond simple infrastructure improvement, as it contributes to expanding permanent sources of income for the population, ensuring employment, and strengthening the well-being of every family.
In the New Uzbekistan, a key criterion for implementing reforms is increasing human value and ensuring that the needs and problems of every citizen are not ignored. Thanks to the President's initiative, the social protection system for the population has reached a completely new level. Special attention is paid to supporting people with disabilities, lonely elderly people, and those who need care from others, which has become one of the main directions of state policy. Good deeds carried out in local communities today are a practical reflection of this humane policy and find their embodiment in the lives of citizens.
Systematic work is being carried out in the 'Qozikent' mahalla of the Jondor district of Bukhara region to provide social support to the population, targeted assistance to needy families, as well as care for people with disabilities and lonely elderly people. This mahalla has 3375 residents, and social worker Salohiddin Bahridinov carries out his activities based on the principle of individual work with every needy citizen. This approach allows for studying the needs of each person and providing them with appropriate social services.
Currently, there are 80 people with disabilities living in the mahalla. Four of them have been involved in adaptive sports classes, which has given them the opportunity to participate in physical activity and social life. In addition, 14 citizens have been employed, and suitable conditions have been created for their independent living. Also, 33 needy people have received orthopedic prosthetics and technical rehabilitation aids.
Elderly people living alone are also under the attention of the state and society. Currently, three lonely elderly people are under constant social protection. As part of the 'Step to Active Life' program, household and social services are regularly provided at home to five citizens who need care from others.
The results of these good deeds are clearly demonstrated by the example of Tamara Zulfikorova, who lives with her sister Norgul Boboyeva. The mahalla social worker added Tamara to the register of lonely elderly people and launched a targeted assistance system. This assistance included referral to a sanatorium for health recovery, medical examination, free provision of necessary medicines, and allocation of financial aid. Additionally, within the framework of the 'Step to Active Life' program, home-based domestic support was organized. One-time financial aid was provided on the occasion of the autumn-winter period and the Ramadan holiday, and regular compensation payments are made on time.
An important moment was the installation of a modern solar panel in this house at the initiative of sponsors. This not only helps reduce electricity costs but also improves the family's living conditions. Such practical help is not just material support, but a vivid example of attention, love, and care for a person.
The work being done in the 'Qozikent' mahalla today once again confirms the truth: in a society where people are valued, no one is left without attention. Obtaining information about the condition of every needy person, listening to their problems, and finding practical solutions has become a way of life in the mahalla. Good deeds in the 'Qozikent' mahalla are another bright proof that the interests of the individual have become the main measure of all reforms in New Uzbekistan. These charitable initiatives, based on the principle 'For the Value of Man' put forward by the head of state, strengthen the atmosphere of compassion, solidarity, and social justice in society. Most importantly, such endeavors strengthen citizens' faith in a better future, demonstrating in practice that no one is alone, and the state and society are always there for them.
