The inauguration ceremony, attended by representatives from the European Union, UNESCO, local government officials, faculty, students, and community members, showcased the extensive enhancements made to the college's infrastructure. Visitors were given a comprehensive tour of the upgraded premises, providing firsthand insight into the modernization efforts undertaken.
The Gijduvon Technical School of Agro Technologies has long been dedicated to providing vocational education to rural youth, and with the support of the European Union, UNESCO has revitalized the college across 1105 square meters. The renovations encompass workshops, classrooms, and laboratories, incorporating modern amenities such as new flooring, ceilings, lighting, and state-of-the-art equipment including agricultural machinery, greenhouses, and refrigeration units.
