On March 25 at a meeting held at Kazan State Power Engineering University, Tatarstan President Rustam Minnikhanov reported to Chairman of the Russian Government Dmitry Medvedev on implementation of a number of social programmes in Tatarstan.

“Thank you for inviting me to see the innovative development of the republic. Everything is going well even under challenging economic сonditions. The sites I have seen today impressed me. Now I would like to return to simple things, but no less important for our citizens, including those living in Tatarstan. I mean housing issues. I know that you are implementing this programme. How is it going?” Dmitry Medvedev said.

“The innovative development is the pledge of our competitiveness. And Tatarstan takes part in all federal programmes. The Innopolis project and special economic zone “Alabuga” are our major innovative projects. Everything is proceeding according to the plan,” Rustam Minnikhanov said.

Rustam Minnikhanov also noted that Russia’s first private technopark “Navigator Campus” was established in Tatarstan.

No doubt, that main capital repair works will be finished before the next heating season,” Rustam Minnikhanov pointed out.

The second programme, which is very important, is the capital repair of schools that are more than 30 years old. By and large, 165 schools will be repaired this year, Rustam Minnikhanov reported.
