KULOB, February 3, 2010, Asia-Plus — A delegation of the Ivanovo State Agricultural Academy (Russia) is expected to arrive in Kulob in mid-February to meet with senior representative from the Kulob branch of Tajik Technological University (TTU) to discuss cooperation issues.
Almossho Shoyev, deputy director of Tajik Technological University’s branch in Kulob, told Asia-Plus that the purpose of the visit is for the delegation to discuss opening of the Faculty of Intensive Technologies in Agriculture at TTU’s branch in Kulob.
According to him, 63 Tajik students, the majority of them are from Khatlon’s Kulob zone, entered the Ivanovo State Agricultural Academy in 2009. “They receive monthly grants of 1,100 Russian rubles each,” said Shoyev, “Grants are paid to Tajik students from the Russian budget. Tajik students are studying disciplines that are in demand in Tajikistan — agroecology, land management, landscape design, meat and milk processing technologies, ecology, rational use of natural resources, and process automation.”
Now Tajik students may study discipline such as landscape design, land management and meat and milk processing technologies at a joint faculty in Kulob, Shoyev added.
