A significant amount of money has been allocated for the social protection of the population in need of assistance in Uzbekistan. This was discussed today, August 29, at a festive event dedicated to the 34th anniversary of our country's independence, held in the "New Uzbekistan" garden under the leadership of the head of state.
This system, which has reached households, established individual work with the population in need, and organized "Inson" social service centers, is serving to form an inclusive society with equal opportunities for all.
"There are no strangers in the country, no stranger's child. We are all children of one homeland, we serve the prosperity of one Motherland.
In this sense, the fate of even one compatriot who has fallen into a difficult situation should concern everyone equally. Because the greatest power of the people lies in compassion, generosity, and solidarity",
said the President.
In general, this year alone, 19 trillion soums have been directed towards the social protection of the population in need of assistance.
All of these efforts have yielded results, achieving a reduction in the poverty rate in the country to 6.8 percent. Considering that international organizations estimated this figure to be around 35 percent five or six years ago, it becomes clearly evident what a great path we have covered in a short period in this regard.
"We are giving new impetus to our work on developing entrepreneurship, supporting the elderly, women, youth, people in need of social assistance, and reducing poverty. The reforms aimed at creating decent living conditions for the people will not stop for a single minute",
says the head of state.
