The project was implemented with the active support of the Executive Body of State Power of the Khatlon Region and the Public Organization “Jurat”. For our organization, this is not just an infrastructure initiative, but a contribution to the intellectual and cultural potential of the country – to building the future for young people.

The renovated library has become a space where tradition and technology come together. After a complete reconstruction, it turned into a modern, cozy place where it is pleasant to study, read and develop. A computer room with modern equipment has been created here, rapid Internet has been provided and an electronic fund has been formed of thousands of books available for searching and downloading. All of this is done to make the path to knowledge more accessible and

The opening of the library was attended by the Chairman of the Khatlon region Davlatali Said, heads of cities and district, region and the founder of the NGO “Jurat” Khushvakhtov S. Z. The event became an example of how the state and civil society join forces for the sake of a common future – education, knowledge and opportunities for youth.

The rebuilding of the library named after Shamsiddin Shokhin is part of the broader mission of the Juraat NGO: to develop technology, awaken interest in reading and increase the digital literacy of the population. We believe that such projects help to form a generation that feels equally confident in the world of literature and in the world of modern technology.

NGO “Jurat” will continue to promote efforts in the field of education and digitalization, provide youth access to modern resources and enhance connection with government and international organizations.

The launching of a library in the Khatlon region is one step toward ensuring that all young people have equitable access to knowledge, opportunity, and inspiration.

After all, a strong country begins with a love of books and appreciation for knowledge.
