The President visited the Three Generations Park, created in the Yashnabad District of Tashkent.

The great life experience of the elderly is important in improving the spiritual situation at makhallas (the local neighborhood community areas), as well as encouraging the youth to do good deeds. For this purpose, the meetings of representatives of three generations – the older, middle-aged and younger generations, are held at makhallas and education institutions.

The new park also serves these purposes. Formerly, this place was abandoned. Now the Alimkent Street has been repaired and landscaped. The trees and flowers have been planted, greenhouses have been built, and vine galleries have been created. The benches, pedestrian and bicycle paths create favorable conditions for recreation of the population.

A meeting was held with elders and makhalla activists. They have noted the honor and attention paid in the country to war and labor veterans, and special care for the elderly.

Today, over 3 million elderly people live in Uzbekistan. They are provided with comprehensive support. A constant attention is paid to their health. Approximately, 28,000 elderly have been treated at sanatoriums, 450,000 of them have undergone an in-depth medical examination.

The councils of elders have been established in all regions, and the post of advisor for the elderly has been introduced at makhallas. The Order «Fakhriy Murabbiy» (‘An Honorary Mentor’) was established. More than 3,5 thousand of our compatriots have been awarded the badge «Labor Veteran».

«There comes a time when makhalla becomes a real force. Our people feel that the problems are being resolved. We have assigned the representatives of the elderly, women and youth everywhere. Now a makhalla chairman has three pillars», - Shavkat Mirziyoyev has said.

In accordance with the Presidential Decree, on the eve of the holiday, each participant and disabled person of the World War II was awarded a one-time monetary reward of 15 million Uzbek soums and gifts. The khokims (governors and mayors) of districts and cities personally visited and presented gifts to 10,000 veterans who worked in the rear.

During the meeting, it was noted that it is necessary to value and preserve peace and harmony in the country, as well as the elderly can help this cause by personal example and word.

The President also got acquainted with the activities of the «Yuksalish» (‘A Nationwide Movement’) management service company. It serves 106 apartment buildings at seven makhallas. It has implemented a billing system. The household services are organized in the company building and the basements of multi-storey buildings.
