Dear colleagues, students!

I congratulate you all on the holiday of Nauryz! It embodies the connection of generations, reminds us of the traditions of hospitality, good neighbourliness, respect for the elderly and care for the younger, which our ancestors have kept for thousands of years.

Unfortunately, this is the second year we meet Nauryz in the midst of an epidemic. But I am sure we will overcome this test with dignity. The main thing is that we have unity; all the people of Kazakhstan, beginning with the volunteers who help doctors and the state that mobilized all its resources, are ready to stop the insidious virus. Our teachers are also active, continuing their noble work under such conditions. The desire to make our people healthier and happier, and the country prosperous unite us all.

Traditionally on these days we sum up the results of our work and make new plans with confidence in the future. The past time was marked by significant events for KazNPU named after Abay: we have achieved new successes in international and national rankings, the scientific indicators of our scientists have increased, a number of projects have been implemented, students have become winners of various competitions and contests in scientific and educational, creative and sports spheres. We will continue to pursue our mission of educating competitive, highly qualified specialists of high quality.

Please accept my sincere congratulations on the Nauryz holiday! I wish you, your relatives and loved ones good health, happiness and prosperity.

Sincerely,
rector Takir Balykbayev
