President of the Republic of Uzbekistan Islam Karimov traveled October 6 to the Andijan Region in order to review the course of socio-economic reforms and creative endeavors in provinces.

The Andijan Region is assigned a special place in the development of our country’s economy. Manufacturing industry and agriculture and the labor of selfless people of this province have been instrumental in the steadfast enhancement of reforms across the spheres. The appearance of the administrative capital of the region and of other towns and villages has been transforming cardinally, and the living standards of the locals have been rising to a considerable extent.

Consistent have been the efforts dedicated to the development of industrial sectors, construction of new enterprises and modernization of the existing capacities. 2,815 projects totaling 253 billion soums have been implemented and more than 24 thousand new jobs created from the beginning of the year as part of the 2013-2015 socio-economic development program of the region.

As a result of comprehensive support for small business and private entrepreneurship, assistance in the enhancement of export capacities of entities in this sector, volumes of industrial production, services and exported goods have been increasing steadily in this part of the nation.

This year, on more than 80 thousand hectares of land of the region, grain crops were sown and the harvested yield reached nearly 500 thousand tons. In full swing is the season of harvesting cotton grown on 93,400 hectares of soil.

President Islam Karimov visited the fields of the Kuhna Vodiy Bahori (Spring of the Ancient Valley) farming enterprise in Altynkul District, and talked with farmers and the elite of the region.

The head of our state suggested that he had a great pleasure to meet with them and wish every success to all of them in these responsible days important for the national agriculture.

During the former system, Uzbekistan used to provide the entire Union with cotton. However, the population of this republic suffered from low standards of life and hence was losing confidence in its future. By passing the land to the ownership of dehkans, we got rid of those negative consequences, Islam Karimov asserted. A sense of genuine ownership of the land has formed in their minds, and that gave them strength and energy.

The President of our country drew a particular attention to the creation of high-yield new species of cotton catering to the soil-climatic conditions of each region and producing quality fiber.

According to Uzbekistan’s leader, cotton has numerous properties, characteristics and quality indicators. They include early maturation, high yield, length and robustness of fiber. It is essential to pay special attention in cultivating cotton, and primarily in selecting a sort. One should sow those species that suit the soil-climatic conditions of each particular province.

It was stressed during the conversation with farmers that the lifestyle and mindset of people has been changing, while the looks of our cities and rural areas transforming, and all this is the outcome of the peace and harmony reigning in the country. It was underscored in particular that our youth are being nurtured in circumstances inferior to no one, and that they have been making remarkable accomplishments in all walks of life. This overfills our hearts with the sense of pride and joy.

The constructive-creative endeavors undertaken in our country, the modern housing being erected, education and medical institutions, enterprises, broad and smooth roads have been radically changing the appearance of urban and rural areas and serving for the growth in the wellbeing of our people.

As it is the case throughout the nation, wide-ranging construction and creative works are underway in the Andijan Region, as well.

President Islam Karimov also traveled to a modern residential quarter in the Dalvarzin Mahalla of the Altynkul District.

977 standard-design houses have been erected and commissioned this year in 31 rural quarters of the province. Supply networks of natural gas, power, drinking water and internal roads have been brought to these new housing areas. Mahalla guzars, trade and public service points, sports complexes have been built.

In the residential quarter of Dalvarzin Mahalla, as well, an open-air marketplace, a shopping mall, a bakery, a stadium, a children’s playground and leisure zones have been built.

According to the President of our country, 6 hundred square meters of land is allocated for the construction of a standard-design home, with an assigned separate entrance for autos and a special parking area inside the estate. The rooms in the house are designed with an eye to the lifestyle of our people; they are planned more spacious, meeting the mentality of our compatriots.

Islam Karimov visited the house of Otabek Kobulov, owner of one of such homes, and inquired into the living conditions created in the home of the young family.

“On the eve of the 23rd anniversary of our Motherland we gave a housewarming party in such a modern, comfortable home,” the hostess Nigorakhon Kobulova said. “Everything essential and every convenience, especially for women, are here for my comfort. We are endlessly thankful to You for constant attention and care for rural dwellers.”

All these noble deeds and endeavors of ours are in the name of the human being, for the future of our children. Kids are to grow up harmoniously healthy and independently thinking in such modern homes. It is so because the lifestyle of a person influences his/her world outlook and mindset. The head of our state suggested that some time in the past we used to dream of the days when our children are better, smarter, wiser and, of course, happier than us, and today it is turning into a reality.

The leader of our country pointed out that rural residents are entitled to live in most modern conditions, and that for that goal to be achieved the efforts on this front should be continued and constantly perfected.

President Islam Karimov reviewed the Istiklol Street downtown Andijan and the cutting-edge buildings erected here.

As a consequence of the grand works undertaken here, trade and services units have been built, fountains and benches been installed, and a comfortable environment been created for the locals to spend their leisure time.

The President of the country offered his recommendations to improve the appearance of the street and ensure a harmony in the color gamma in designing buildings, to layout grass lawns and expand greenery.

All this constitutes a bright reflection of the country’s development and its creative potential. It is to serve for the further growth in the wellbeing of our people.
