Jizzakh Polytechnic Institute was recognized as the winner of this competition, which focused on promoting environmental sustainability, implementing green technologies, and protecting the environment.

As a symbol of the President’s recognition, the institute’s team, which considers ecological responsibility an integral part of the educational process, was presented with a BYD Chazor electric car.

It is noteworthy that out of the institute’s 24-hectare campus, more than 22,000 fruit-bearing and ornamental trees have been planted across 21 hectares, creating an extensive green area.
