In the East Kazakhstan region, in five avalanche-prone areas along the highway "G. Oskemen – S. Samar" (95-102 km), the new anti-avalanche system "Daisybell" was successfully tested. The event was organized using a helicopter of Kazaviaspas JSC of the Ministry of Emergency Situations. The Daisybell avalanche protection system is a metal cone that is attached to a helicopter by a cable and is used for controlled descent of snow masses in order to prevent spontaneous avalanches. The system was manufactured in France and is designed to operate in hard-to-reach mountainous areas where other methods of lowering snow masses may be difficult or impossible. The principle of operation of the system is the remote initiation of detonation by an oxygen-hydrogen mixture over an avalanche collector, which provokes the descent of an avalanche, minimizing the risk of serious consequences from avalanche situations. This installation has proven itself in Europe and Russia, where it has already been successfully used to prevent avalanche disasters. "There are 619 avalanche-prone areas in the mountainous regions of the Republic of Kazakhstan. Every year, specialists carry out up to 150 preventive descents of snow masses to prevent spontaneous avalanches. 26 preventive descents have already been carried out in dangerous areas of Almaty, Almaty and East Kazakhstan regions, with a total volume of more than 14 thousand m3 of snow," said Yerbolat Sadyrbayev, head of Kazselezashchita, Ministry of Emergency Situations of the Republic of Kazakhstan. Snow-retaining shields have been installed to ensure the safety of the mountainous regions of the East Kazakhstan region, as well as a network of snow-avalanche routes. Warning boards are placed in dangerous areas, regular inspections and preventive maintenance are carried out. Recommendations have been issued to local authorities and private owners living in avalanche-prone areas to reduce the risks associated with avalanches. Currently, to effectively control the avalanche-prone situation, 20 snow-and avalanche routes are operating in the East Kazakhstan region, on which 160 snow-measuring rails are installed. Specialists carry out regular preventive measures and monitoring of the snow avalanche situation. "New technologies and avalanche prevention systems, such as Daisybell, will be used in preventive maintenance on an ongoing basis, which will significantly improve safety in mountainous areas and prevent the threat of avalanche disasters," Yerbolat Sadyrbayev added. Such measures are aimed at protecting the population and infrastructure from avalanche risks, as well as reducing the possible consequences of natural disasters in the mountainous regions of Kazakhstan.

Kazakhstan, despite the significant potential of agriculture, remains dependent on seed imports. The country's annual demand for seeds is 2.0 million tons for cereals and legumes, 87 thousand tons for oilseeds, 23 thousand tons for fodder and 289 thousand tons for potatoes. To solve this problem, the Government of Kazakhstan has approved a Comprehensive plan for the development of breeding and seed production for 2024-2028.There are already 284 certified producers of original and elite seeds in the country, and 27 specialized institutions are engaged in breeding.The Kazakh Scientific Research Institute of Agriculture and Crop Production, which celebrates its 90th anniversary this year, plays a leading role in this work. The Institute is engaged in the creation of competitive varieties and hybrids resistant to stress factors, as well as the development of organic farming. KazNIIZiR scientists have created more than 650 varieties and hybrids, of which 206 have already been zoned.Special attention is paid to cooperation with elite seed farms. For example, in the Almaty region, four out of nine such farms interact with KazNIIZiR, including KH Ivan and Budan LLP. However, experts note that many farms are still not engaged in variety renewal or purchase seeds of unknown origin. To solve this problem, the institute annually creates demonstration grounds for training farmers and introducing new technologies.An important step in the development of seed production was the opening in October 2023 of a center for the production of high-quality seeds on the basis of KazNIIZiR. Here, the seeds undergo a five-step cleaning and calibration.Construction of a production facility for sorting and thermal treatment of seeds using Swedish ThermoSeed equipment will also begin this year. It is planned to introduce organic seed treatment methods, including the use of natural compounds such as mustard powder and thyme oil.The volume of elite seed production this year will be increased 4.5–5 times due to the joining of the former Agropark Ontustik LLP to the Institute of Land Resources. KazNIIZiR annually produces and sells more than 1,500 tons of grain seeds, 300 tons of forage and 100 tons of leguminous crops, as well as seeds of corn, safflower and fodder crops.Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/moa/press/news/details/917156

Within the framework of the strategy for the sustainable development of the agro-industrial complex of Kazakhstan, three key areas have been identified, among which special attention is paid to the development of domestic seed production.Since 2015, the National Agrarian Research and Educational Center and its subsidiaries have developed 686 scientific projects, 465 of which are in the field of crop production. Over the past eight years, scientists have developed 326 varieties and hybrids of crops, 37% of which are cereals. All varieties have passed state tests and are included in the state register.Seeds of domestic breeding are in demand among farmers. For example, in the Karaganda region, 99% of the cultivated areas are sown with them. Among the popular varieties on the grain market are "Taimas", "Damsinskaya 2017", as well as winter wheat "Altai 1" and winter rye "Oskemen", which have shown high results this year. To achieve the goal of covering 80% of Kazakhstan's acreage with domestic seeds, NANOC has already produced 14,000 tons of super elite seeds. It is planned to increase this volume to 40 thousand tons in the next two years.Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/moa/press/news/details/917453

In January 2024, Almaty became the first city in Kazakhstan where the country's schoolchildren had the opportunity to visit city museums for free. This initiative, implemented by the decision of the mayor of the city, has become an important step in the development of cultural education and the educational process. 85,019 schoolchildren visited Almaty's museums during the year.Free museum visits have become an important tool in supporting school education.

Museum of Folk Musical Instruments named after Yelasa inspires students to explore musical culture."Schoolchildren don't just visit museums, they learn to see and understand culture through artifacts. This helps them consolidate the knowledge gained in the lessons and develop analytical and critical skills. Excursions also contribute to the formation of respect for the history and traditions of the Kazakh people. We urge parents and teachers to bring schoolchildren more often and, together with us, contribute to the comprehensive development of children, broadening their horizons and arousing interest in further study of culture, art and history," the Department of Culture noted.The work of museum staff played a special role in the implementation of the initiative.

New approaches to the appointment of targeted social assistance (TSA) are coming into force in Kazakhstan, which will make the process more transparent and accessible to citizens in need, the official website of the Astana Akimat reports.When calculating the TSA, all types of family income for the quarter preceding the month of application are taken into account. These can be salaries, social benefits, alimony, and other income.The amount of the TSA is assigned for the current quarter and is paid monthly based on the conclusions of precinct commissions established under the district akimats of Astana.From 2025, an additional payment will be introduced for each child aged one to six years in the amount of 5,898 tenge (1.5 MCI), which is added to the assigned amount of the TSA.In addition, a pilot project covering the entire territory of Kazakhstan will be launched from January 2025. As part of the project, citizens will be able to transfer data about their bank accounts through an Interbank Information Exchange System using open software interfaces (Open API). This will speed up the process of assigning help.For the preliminary calculation of the TSA, it is necessary to contact the Career Center of the Akimat of Astana at the address: Beibitshilik str., 9, office 137.Opening hours are from 09:00 to 18:00 (lunch break: from 13:30 to 14:30).Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/astana/press/news/details/917304
