On August 23, 2025, another city-wide clean-up was organized in Shymkent as part of the republican environmental campaign "Clean Kazakhstan". This time, along with various institutions, the Department of Agriculture and Veterans Affairs (auyl_sharuashylygy.shymkent) and its affiliated organizations showed particular activity in the clean-up. Their employees carried out cleaning work in the designated areas, making a significant contribution to improving the ecological situation in the city.

The main goal of the Sabbath was to clean the city streets, courtyards of residential buildings, drainage systems and roadsides from garbage, as well as to increase the ecological culture of residents. From the morning, the department's specialists, armed with gloves and necessary tools, began cleaning work. They collected garbage from the streets, cleaned the irrigation systems, and did not neglect the care of green areas. This was not only a sanitary cleaning measure, but also a demonstration of environmental responsibility that set an example for society.

The activity of the Department of Agriculture and Veterinary Medicine has generated positive feedback among residents. Although the agricultural sector is often associated with rural areas, their contribution to the cleanliness of the city has shown that environmental culture is a common cause for everyone. In particular, the voluntary and organized participation of the department's employees has become an example for both young people and other institutions.

If we compare this Sabbath with similar events in previous years, we can see significant differences. For example, during the “Clean City” campaign held in Shymkent in 2023, teachers and students of educational institutions were mostly active. In 2024, public utilities and residents were more involved in sanitation work. There is reason to say that the participation of the agricultural sector in this year's Sabbath brought innovation. This made it clear that responsibility for the city's ecology is the common duty of all institutions and organizations, not just the public utilities or educational institutions.

During the weekend, not only garbage collection was carried out, but also environmental education activities were carried out among the population. Brief explanations were given about the harm of polyethylene waste to the environment and the importance of sorting household waste. Special attention was paid to encouraging young people to take care of nature.

Specialists from the Department of Agriculture and Veterinary Medicine made simple but important reminders to residents during the Sabbath. They explained that observing the rules of throwing household waste in special bins, not clogging drains with garbage, and not trampling areas where seedlings have been planted have a positive impact on the environment.

Another advantage of such measures is that they contribute to the unification of society. It is clear that only when employees of different organizations, residents, and young people work together, not just one institution or small group, can a city truly be clean and orderly.

Compared to previous Sabbils, it can be said that this year's event has intensified information and explanatory work. City residents learned about Sabbils through social networks, and many expressed their intention to participate voluntarily. This indicates that the population's environmental culture is growing.

Agricultural machinery was also used during the Sabbath. In some areas, small trucks and special equipment were used to remove garbage. This contributed to the effectiveness of the work.

In conclusion, the Sembilik, which took place on August 23, was an important event for the city of Shymkent . The active participation of the Department of Agriculture and Veterinary Medicine not only expanded the scope of this event, but also set an example for other institutions. Compared to Sembiliks in previous years, the novelty of this year's event is that it brought together different sectors and united everyone in the common interest.

City cleanliness is everyone's shared responsibility. If each institution does its part, Shymkent will undoubtedly become an ecologically clean and comfortable city in the future.
