At the president's meeting, a 4th-grade student was gifted a car
On February 24, an unexpected but pleasant event occurred at a meeting led by the President of Uzbekistan, Shavkat Mirziyoyev. This was reported by Zamin.uz.
After a 4th-grade student attending the meeting sang a song, it was announced that he would be gifted a car. This was reported by journalist Aziza Qurbomova.
It turned out that a boy named Otamurod said he would sing a song by Komiljon Otaniyozov. The President humorously added, “Let it also be from Otajon Khudoyshukurov’s repertoire,” which caused laughter.
After the conversation, the head of state announced that the student would be gifted a car. The main topic of the meeting was youth employment.
It was emphasized that every year 600,000 young people enter the labor market, and by 2030 this figure may reach 1 million. The President noted that creating suitable jobs for young people is the most urgent issue.
Additionally, according to survey results, one-third of young people expressed a desire to become entrepreneurs. Last year, $400 million was allocated to banks and the Youth Affairs Agency to ensure youth employment.
Through the “Youth Business” and “Step into the Future” programs, 15,000 young people started their own businesses, resulting in 50,000 people being employed. Another important announcement was made at the meeting: an additional $200 million is planned to be allocated to support youth entrepreneurship.
Furthermore, it was announced that loans up to 10 billion soums will be provided for young entrepreneurs’ projects, and investments up to $100,000 will be allowed for innovative startup projects. Many important figures and decisions were announced at the meeting, but what remained in most people's memory was the gift that brought joy to the heart of the boy who sang.
