New Andijan will bear the name of the great Babur

Andijan is the country's most populous city: 10 percent of Uzbekistan's population lives on just 1 percent of its territory. In this regard, at the initiative of the President, construction of a new city began in 2021. During the current trip, the head of state got acquainted with the first results of the implementation of this large-scale project.

The city is being built on a free, previously unused for agriculture area of ​​4 thousand hectares in the Andijan region. Construction will be completed in eight stages. To date, 63 multi-storey buildings with 1,770 apartments have been commissioned. A school for 1,680 places, a kindergarten for 420 places, a clinic for 250 appointments per shift were built, a light industry enterprise and a mortgage center were also organized.

The President walked through the territory of the new city and inspected the constructed facilities.

Many apartments are already occupied. The joy of children on playgrounds fills the atmosphere with special warmth and comfort. Construction continues at an accelerated pace - this year it is planned to build another 40 multi-storey buildings with more than 1 thousand apartments.

The objects are provided with the necessary infrastructure - roads, electricity, natural gas, water supply and heating. A reservoir and distribution station with a capacity of 4 thousand cubic meters for supplying drinking water was put into operation.

Yangi Uzbekistan Park was laid out on an area of ​​19 hectares, in which over 10 thousand ornamental trees, shrubs and flowers were planted. The park has an amphitheater, recreation areas, walking alleys, cafes, playgrounds and a modern lighting system. This park will become one of the decorations of New Andijan.

Vatanparvar Park, located here, has a special symbolic meaning. The “Oath to the Motherland” monument, museum, concert and entertainment venues will make a deep impression on guests.

The project is of great scope. It is planned to build 2 thousand apartment buildings on an area of ​​1,439 hectares. In addition, retail and service facilities will be built, as well as green areas on an area of ​​1,820 hectares. After completion of construction, the city will be able to accommodate over 410 thousand residents.

New improvement projects were also presented here. In particular, it is planned to reconstruct the park named after Alisher Navoi and install a monument to Zakhiriddin Muhammad Babur. The President emphasized the importance of creating an authentic image of Babur and transforming the surrounding area into a theme park dedicated to the heritage of the Baburids.

The Head of State also got acquainted with exhibitions of folk crafts, decorative, applied and fine arts. He took the initiative to hold an annual festival of artists in Andijan.

During communication with youth, the head state expressed deep confidence in the younger generation:

– One of the main goals of our state is youth policy. Everything we do in education, mahallas, employment, sports is for the interests of our children. The youth of Uzbekistan are talented and capable. But when does talent reveal itself? When there is work. Anyone who strives for knowledge and works on himself will never be left idle. Learn, develop, master modern professions. To be happy tomorrow, you need to lay the foundation todaysaid Shavkat Mirziyoyev.

The President also met with representatives of different nationalities living in Andijan, emphasizing that peace and interethnic harmony are the country's greatest wealth.

A festive concert took place in the park amphitheater. In his speech, the President expressed deep respect for the residents of the region:

– The main goal of the reforms carried out in New Uzbekistan is to ensure the rights, interests and dignity of humans, of the entire people, and on this basis, to increase people’s satisfaction with their lives. We see the practical results of such large-scale and noble deeds in all regions, villages and auls of our Motherland, and this, of course, makes us all happy,he noted.

The Andijan region clearly confirms this in practice. Industry, entrepreneurship, agriculture, improvement of streets and mahallas are actively developing in the region, decent working and living conditions are being created for the population.

– On the land of Andijan, the idea of ​​New Uzbekistan, the breath of New Uzbekistan comes to every mahalla, every family. This is precisely the biggest, most important result of the reforms that we and all our people were waiting for, the President emphasized.

Andijan is one of the oldest cities in the country and the pearl of the Fergana Valley. Currently, large-scale projects are being actively implemented here, and new opportunities are being created. Among them is the construction of a new city. In a short time, the modern Yangi Uzbekistan park was also created here.

The President expressed gratitude to everyone who contributed to these transformations.

Andijan is also famous for the fact that it was here that Zakhiriddin Muhammad Babur was born. In this regard, Shavkat Mirziyoyev proposed naming the new city after Babur. This initiative was warmly supported by the residents of the region.

- Babur Mirzo is a worthy successor of the Temurid Renaissance, a great personality - the patron of science, culture, art and literature, human talent. His unique legacy has glorified our people throughout the world. The construction of a city bearing his name will be a symbolic fulfillment of the dream of a great ancestor, the President noted.

A large-scale educational cluster with kindergartens, schools, a university, a museum, a library and an IT park will be built in the new city. The university will include a modern sports complex of international level.

The city of Babur will become a spiritual center reflecting national values, a source of inspiration for youth, a new tourist and cultural center, as well as a “smart city” with advanced technologies.

This city, like Navoi, named after the great poet and thinker, will become a bridge between our glorious history and future. A new, majestic monument to Zakhiriddin Muhammad Babur will be erected at the highest point of the park.

To implement these plans, a special program with funding in the amount of $250 million will be adopted.

– As you know, no matter where in the world, in which country Zakhiriddin Muhammad Babur was, all his life he missed his family edges. I think you will agree that today the dream of our great ancestor has come true, it is as if he has returned to his homeland again. Congratulations to all of us on this historical event!said the President.

In conclusion, the head of state cordially congratulated workers of culture and art on their professional holiday, celebrated on April 15.
