Tashkent, Uzbekistan (UzDaily.com) -- On 30 January, President Shavkat Mirziyoyev got acquainted with the presentation of projects in the fields of youth, sports, healthcare and the electric power industry.

At a videoconference on the development of school education on 28 January, the head of state gave a number of instructions on the meaningful organization of youth leisure and popularization of sports among them. Relevant projects are presented during today’s presentation.

Responsible persons reported on the results of the study of conditions in mahallas and schools carried out on behalf of the authorities. It was noted that out of 9309 mahallas across the country, 763 do not have sports facilities, and there are no libraries in more than 6 thousand mahallas. In addition, more than 2,000 out of 10,130 schools do not have gyms, and 22 schools do not have libraries.

Three types of project proposals have been developed for the construction of sports facilities and libraries in schools and mahallas. The first involves the installation of bookshelves and sports equipment, the second - the construction of outdoor sports fields and the third - the construction of indoor sports halls.

The head of state did not approve these projects and gave recommendations for their revision.

- Imagine: what do ordinary people in the villages need, what do young people need? What do the children play in the evening? Where do adults gather and talk? You need to think about it to make the project taking into account the wishes of the people. For example, the mahalla has a school and a stadium. Next to them, you can create a field for mini-football, basketball, table tennis, a place to play chess. Everything you need for this is made by us.

Secondly, in these places it is possible to build a library, a computer room, a dining room, a bathhouse. In the future, it is possible to place medical stations. In general, there will be development of services, and people will be satisfied. Each mahalla should have such an economic, social and educational center in which life should be in full swing, Shavkat Mirziyoyev said.

The task was set to improve the project, taking into account the comments, to organize mahalla centers on the basis of public-private partnership. At the same time, entrepreneurs will be provided with benefits in exchange for social obligations. Certain hours per day will be free for local youth. Thus, the entrepreneur will be able to generate income, and the objects will be used efficiently.

The presentation also discussed projects to increase school enrollment.

As you know, in the next five years in our country it is necessary to create 1.2 million student places. Therefore, the head of state instructed to build new schools and increase the capacity of existing ones. Based on this, projects of schools for 330, 660, 990, 1320 and 1650 places have been prepared. They envisage the construction of additional buildings, multifunctional halls, bathrooms, modern laboratories, interactive whiteboards and comfortable seats.

The head of state stressed the need to study with experts the condition of the foundations and walls of each school.

- Why am I saying this? Where possible, existing schools should be expanded. Because both children and teachers are accustomed to their place. There may not be other free land in the center of the mahalla. If you build on the edge, you will need transport, it will be difficult for children to get there. Therefore, it is advisable to build an additional floor or a new building in the school itself, the President said.

It was instructed to individually approach each school, taking into account its condition and the demographics of the settlement, to calculate exactly where to erect the building and how many floors it will consist of.

Last year, Shavkat Mirziyoyev got acquainted several times with the construction project of the Oncological Medical Center. Today, information was presented on the work carried out in this direction.

The central building of the center will have 10 floors and 650 beds. It will have 16 operating rooms, an intensive care unit for 45 beds, and treatment and diagnostic departments. There is also a hospital for 100 people per day. Today, the preparation of the foundation of the building began.

The head of state instructed to equip the center with modern equipment, including with the effective use of foreign investment, and improve the skills of personnel.

The presentation also discussed measures to expand the capacity of the power supply system.

On 25 January, a technical failure occurred in the regional energy system. This affected all power plants and created an emergency.

There are many reasons leading to this. In particular, the unified energy system is not completely looped by main lines with a capacity of 200-500 kilowatts. In the main part of the North-Western and South-Western nodes there are no networks with a capacity of 500 kilowatts. Some highways pass through the territory of neighboring states.

Therefore, in our country it is planned to create a single ring system through the construction of networks with a capacity of 500-750 kilowatts. In particular, by 2026 it is planned to increase the total generating capacity to 27,400 megawatts and annual output to 110 billion kilowatt-hours. Then all regions of the country will be firmly connected by networks of 500-750 kilowatts with the creation of a single system.

The President stressed the need to reform the power industry system, continue and develop cooperation with neighboring countries. It was instructed to prepare a draft resolution on increasing power generating capacities and automating power supply. The main goal is to increase the stability of the energy system and uninterrupted supply of electricity to the population.
