MY NATIVE TOWN

I live in Andizhan. It is the centre of Andizhan province. Its population is more than 300 thousand people. The history of Andizhan goes back more than 2000 years ago. At the beginning it was simply a stop-point for merchants on their way along the Great Silk Road. They carried valuable goods from India to Europe on camel caravans.

Now our city is young and flourishing. Recent reconstructions turned it into modern developed mega police with its wide avenues, streets, squares, trade centers, enterprises, sport and cultural places.

Andizhan is a large industrial centre. Many plants, factories and joint ventures produce textile goods, clothes, shoes, food, automobile spare parts, paints, different building material and other products.

Farmers grow a lot of fruits and vegetables, melons and water-melons, berries and greenery. They provide citizens with fresh products on city markets and process them into tomato paste, fruit juice and tins.

Cultural life in Andizhan is concentrated in Bobur Theatre, the Youth Theatre, “Lola” Puppet Theatre, Museum of Local Lore, Bobur Library and Children Library, Alisher Navoi Park and other sites. Zahiriddin Muhammad Bobur, Chulpon, Nodirabegim and other prominent ancestors lived in Andizhan.

Andizhan is famous for its sport history. Andizhan Boxing School trained such famous sportsmen as Ruslan Chagaev and Muhammadkodir Abdullaev. Such sport facilities as Navruz Stadium, the Youth Stadium, Halklar Dustligi Stadium, Tennis Court, different sport clubs and fitness centres allow the citizens to keep strong health. Olympic College prepares young generation for new sport achievements.

Andizhan is a great educational centre. There is Andizhan State University, some institutes, a lot of colleges, lyceums and schools which give deep knowledge to young population.

I love my native town. I am very proud of it.
