Akmola region is one of the leading regions in the agricultural sector of our country. However, the region is located in a high-risk agricultural zone. In this regard, preparations for this year's sowing campaign began earlier than usual. This will reduce the adverse effects of weather and allow for stable yields.Regional Governor Marat Akhmetzhanov held a regional meeting with agricultural producers and leaders of the most productive districts. He also visited large enterprises in the region and got acquainted with the process of preparing agricultural machinery, harvesting and processing products.“Spring sowing is a very responsible period. At a recent expanded meeting of the Government, the Head of State set specific tasks for further increasing the potential of the agro-industrial complex. The President noted that although the agricultural sector achieved good results last year, it is necessary to increase the volume of soft loans for spring sowing and harvesting. We must use every day as effectively as possible. This is the main condition for reducing risks and ensuring the food security of the region,” Marat Akhmetzhanov noted.Regional Governor called on farmers to intensify work to fully provide them with the necessary machinery, fuel, fertilizers and credit instruments.“This year, for the first time, we are providing soft loans before the start of spring sowing. That is, farmers must be fully prepared before the campaign. The state provides all support from its side: soft loans, subsidies, cheap fuel. And akims must personally visit and control farms that receive state support. The main goal is to obtain high-quality products, store them and process them. You should also be interested in these processes. Productivity and income are part of your managerial achievements,” the head of the region said.Provision of soft loans began in December last year through the “Ken Dala” and “Ken Dala 2” programs. Today, 329 applications for 52.3 billion tenge have been received, 217 of which have been approved.This year, 5.4 million hectares of land will be sown in the Akmola region, of which 4.7 million hectares are for grain and leguminous crops. 36.5 thousand units of agricultural machinery are being prepared for sowing, 75% of which are already fully ready. In addition, 7% of new equipment will be purchased to update the equipment park. Marat Akhmetzhanov noted the need to actively introduce precision farming technologies, digitalization, moisture conservation methods, and complex plant protection measures. “You can’t leave everything to the weather. Only strict adherence to agrotechnology will allow for stable yields and increase the profitability of the industry,” the head of the region emphasized. This year, the Agronomic Council was established for the first time in the region. Its main task is to control the quality of seeds and ensure the observance of agrotechnology. Deputy Akim of the region Murat Balpan noted during the meeting that the amount of taxes paid by agricultural enterprises to the budget is one and a half times less than the subsidies received. This is evidence that the state has introduced a special tax regime, taking into account the specifics of the agricultural sector. Such a discount does not exist in other economic sectors. Agricultural producers are tasked with fully defining the structure of arable land by March 1 and increasing the share of oilseed and fodder crops. And by April 1, it is necessary to fully analyze the quality of seeds in laboratory conditions and complete the preparation of agricultural machinery.The regional akim instructed the district akims to establish close contact with farmers, provide concrete assistance, and accelerate the development of allocated loans.“Every day of spring is a year's supply of food. We cannot afford mistakes. Therefore, each responsible person must be as diligent and prompt as possible and fully fulfill the assigned tasks,” concluded Marat Akhmetzhanov.Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/aqmola/press/news/details/933257

Today, an educational lecture entitled "Start discipline with yourself!" was held at the Malik Gabdullin Civil Protection Academy in order to promote the principle of "Law and Order" for cadets of the educational institution.

On February 6, the Ministry of Communications and Information Technology of the Republic of Kazakhstan and Freedom Telecom Holding Ltd. signed memorandums of cooperation in the construction of the West-East national fiber-optic hyperhighway and the creation of data processing centers (DPCs) of no lower than Tier-III level.The implementation of these initiatives will allow the country to create an alternative route for international data transit between Europe and East Asia, increase Kazakhstan's competitiveness in the field of digital services, and attract major global IT companies.The construction of the West-East national hyperhighway will significantly increase the volume of data transmission and make Kazakhstan a major participant in the transit of international Internet traffic. This project is aimed at reducing data transmission delays, increasing connection speeds, and creating an alternative route for traffic between Europe and Asia. The construction of the hyperhighway is scheduled for completion in 2026.This is especially important for cloud technologies, financial operations, artificial intelligence, and cybersecurity. The construction of the hyperhighway will also help attract international clients, such as large IT companies, telecommunications corporations, and financial institutions interested in fast and secure data transfer.One of the key elements of the development of Kazakhstan's digital infrastructure is the construction of modern data processing centers (DPCs). These centers will accumulate content and ensure stable traffic communication. Since they will be built in accordance with the Tier-III international standard, they will provide a high level of reliability and security.The signing of the memorandum on the projects "Construction of the West-East National Hyperhighway" and "Creation of a DPC not lower than Tier-III" is a strategically important step in the digital development of Kazakhstan.

“Government to citizens”, that is, the sphere of providing services to citizens, is also one of the important priorities. With the help of digital technologies, we intend to make the daily life of citizens as easy as possible and achieve equal opportunities for all,” - President of the Republic of Kazakhstan Kassym-Jomart Tokayev. In 2024, Kazakhstan achieved significant results in implementing the task of the Head of State. The normative and methodological foundations of digital transformation were developed, an expert base was formed, and large-scale reforms were launched in various areas.One of the main tools of digital transformation was the reorganization of business processes. As a result of the revision of more than 1,200 state processes, 468 business processes were optimized in 23 state bodies, which made it possible to reduce their execution time by an average of 45%.In particular, the reengineering of 98 processes in the Ministry of Agriculture led to a reduction in service time by 55%. In the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the Ministry of National Economy, this indicator was 55% and 85%, respectively.The main achievement of the year was to increase the level of digitalization of public services. According to UN data, Kazakhstan entered the top 10 countries in the online services index and took 24th place out of 193 countries in terms of digitalization.Today, more than 93% of the population can access electronic services through the eGov portal. 90.8% of public services are available via smartphones. The introduction of biometric identification and QR-signatures has simplified the process of obtaining electronic services - over the year, Kazakhstanis signed more than 23 million documents using QR codes. Digital transformation in Kazakhstan is aimed at making public services more convenient, accessible and efficient.We would like to highlight several digital solutions that have shown real benefits for Kazakhstanis.Examples of digital solutions that have improved the lives of citizens:• The digital military ID card has completely replaced paper documents.• Online registration for kindergartens has made the process more transparent thanks to the voucher financing system.• The introduction of the "European Protocol" has reduced the period for receiving insurance payments from 40 to 5 days and made it possible to issue a CCA without the participation of the police.• Automation of enforcement proceedings has eliminated the involvement of private bailiffs, reducing the financial burden on citizens.• Digitization has simplified admission to kindergartens, schools, universities and hostels, as well as optimized processes in healthcare, social protection and registration services.By 2025, it is planned to reduce the term of 44 public services, transfer 20 public services to a proactive format It is planned to replace, as well as transform 35 public services.The results of digital transformation are already visible to millions of Kazakhstanis. Each project is aimed at increasing the convenience, transparency and accessibility of public services. Increasing the level of digitization improves access to education, healthcare and social services, making them more convenient and fair. Many public services are now available online, without queues and additional bureaucratic procedures. Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/mdai/press/news/details/933097
