As Turkmenistan approaches the 34th anniversary of its Independence — a symbol of national pride and liberty — schools across Makhtumkuli district in Balkan province have hosted a series of themed activities. These included literary gatherings and educational exhibitions aimed at enriching school libraries and fostering patriotism among youth.
Each school offered its own unique celebration. School No. 1 held a poetry contest titled “Land of Freedom, Pride of My Heart,” while School No. 2 hosted a morning event called “Golden Autumn Glory of Independence.” School No. 8 organized an exhibition named “Harmony of Unity and Peace,” and School No. 13 conducted a literary evening under the theme “My Happiness Lies in Independence.”
Students delivered performances highlighting the nation’s progress, reforms, and the contributions of National Leader Hero Arkadag and President Arkadagly Hero Serdar to the country's development. These activities deepened students’ understanding of the importance of independence.
Such cultural traditions, held in honor of the nation’s most significant holiday, reinforce social unity and national pride.
Specialists at the International Science and Technology Park of the Academy of Sciences of Turkmenistan, led by Durdymyrat Gadamov and Altyn Rahmanova, have developed a new-generation bio-agent designed to neutralize soil methane emissions. The solution utilizes local bacteria adapted to the regional climate, which harness methane monooxygenase to convert methane into carbon dioxide and water.
Methane is a major contributor to global warming, with a heat-trapping capacity in the atmosphere significantly higher than that of carbon dioxide. The newly developed bio-agent features high efficiency in industrially congested areas, cost-effectiveness through the use of local raw materials, and complete safety for human health and the environment.
This scientific breakthrough aligns with Turkmenistan's sustainable development strategy, supporting its commitments under the Global Methane Pledge to enhance environmental oversight in the energy sector.
