The Autumnal Lands or of Forest and Meadow by Hill and Valley
nobody was there. at all. it was one of those times. and inside the pathway a machine or tool had parted the leaves so that a walker or hiker’s footfalls landed upon the dark and solid earth. leaves many colours, some holding water from the nocturnal rainfall. a valley was over to the right and an impossibly long hill w/a flat tip to the left. slowly the meadow was reached, and you went out framed first by sumac and then you were under the clouds. some birds landed in the tree glade to the left. bamboo-like earth was around and a green and beige swath through it all. if patience and breathe were practiced, along with gratitude, one could slowly begin to feel a oneness and nonduality, a spiritual connection to the autumnal lands…
Student Life – The Harmony of Dreams and Hard Work
There comes a time in every person’s life that becomes not only a period of learning but also a school of dreams, perseverance, labor, and life experience. This period is student life. Student life is the most beautiful, meaningful, and responsible stage of youth. It represents a turning point in a person’s life, a serious step toward the future.
Today, when we speak of a student, we do not only mean young people sitting in lecture halls, reading books, or preparing for exams. A student is someone who harmonizes their dreams with effort, contributing to the development of society. A student is the owner of tomorrow — a person who is laying the foundation for the future of the nation today.
No dream can be achieved easily. Behind every success lies sweat, dedication, and endless striving. Therefore, student life is not a dream without effort, but labor infused with dreams. Every day, a student wakes up early to attend classes on time, stays in the library after lectures, conducts research, and explores additional resources through the internet. With each of these daily efforts, they lay the groundwork for future achievements.
The years of student life strengthen a person and prepare them for real life. During this period, one learns to think independently, value time, and overcome obstacles. Especially when dreams and hard work are combined, the result is always bright. Work opens the way to dreams, and dreams give meaning to work. Every student has their own dream: some wish to become doctors who bring healing to people, others aspire to be engineers creating new technologies, and some hope to be teachers nurturing the next generation. Yet all these dreams come true only through diligence and perseverance.
Student life is a test — but in this test, a person discovers themselves. The moments of fatigue, the sleepless nights, the hours devoted to study — all of them later turn into a source of pride. Because this hard work is the foundation of one’s dreams, the beginning of future success.
Today’s students are tomorrow’s scientists, engineers, teachers, and leaders. In their hands lies the future of the nation, the trust of the people, and the hope of progress. Therefore, if every student harmonizes their dreams with their labor, our country will confidently move toward a brighter future. For wherever dreams and hard work unite, there will always be success, happiness, and a prosperous tomorrow.
Amonboyeva Shahnoza Yusupboy qizi was born on august,2007,in Gurlan District, Khorezm region, Republic of Uzbekistan. She graduated from her local school. She is currently a first-year student at the Urgench State University.
October 21 is the day when the Uzbek language was granted the status of the state language.
The mother tongue is the most precious and sacred language for every human being. From the moment a person is born, they begin to know the world through the words of their loved ones and the lullabies of their mother. Even if they do not yet understand those words, they can feel their warmth and love. That is why, when a child begins to speak, their first words are in their native language.
Language is the mirror of our nation — its past, present, and future. Through our mother tongue, we express our thoughts, share our dreams and hopes, and ease our pain. Every nation takes pride in its language, and we Uzbeks are proud to have the Uzbek language — a rich, refined language with a thousand-year history.
Our history, culture, and traditions live within our mother tongue. Therefore, each of us must love our language, preserve it, and strive to use it beautifully and correctly. Indifference to one’s language means indifference to one’s identity. Our language is our national pride and spiritual foundation. Protecting and developing it is a sacred duty for every one of us.
A person who cherishes their mother tongue listens to their heart — because our language is the pure and sincere voice of our soul.

INTRODUCTION
Management is one of the most ancient social phenomena that has formed simultaneously with human society. It emerged as an independent type of activity in the process of division of labor and cooperation, arising from the need to organize and coordinate people’s activities in social production. In the process of management, tasks are distributed among people, some of whom are formed as leaders, that is, managers, and others as executives – managed.
Today, the effectiveness of the management system is manifested as a decisive factor in the socio-economic development of any state. At the same time, in modern conditions, there are a number of problems and shortcomings in the management system, which directly affect the stability of state policy and the effectiveness of economic reforms. It is for this reason that the introduction of modern mechanisms of improved, strategic approaches-based public administration has become an urgent issue.
The formation of an effective management system plays an important role not only at the level of an enterprise or organization, but also in ensuring the development of society and the state as a whole.
It allows transforming the economy into a stable, competitive and innovative mechanism. At the same time, changes in the management system are inextricably linked with the socio-economic, political-legal and cultural-educational spheres.
From this point of view, there is a need to increase the efficiency of the public administration sector, to deeply study its theoretical and practical foundations, to identify existing problems and develop scientifically based solutions to eliminate them. Studying public administration as a holistic system consisting of interconnected sectors, to deeply understand its essence, to reform it based on modern requirements and to determine its strategic directions is one of the important directions of scientific research of the present time.
MAIN PART
Today, in many countries there is a need to improve the public administration system and implement qualitatively new changes in it. This process requires the rational use of factors that drive the development of the state and society, and the application of approaches tested in the experience of advanced countries.
In recent years, many countries have been introducing innovations in their management systems and taking important steps towards modernizing management. For example, in the Republic of Kazakhstan, within the framework of the educational program “State and Local Governance”, the practice of awarding the degree of Doctor of Public Administration has been established. This program is aimed at training scientific and pedagogical personnel with the potential to study the theory of public administration based on modern scientific methodology, manage innovative projects, and solve emerging problems.
Also, in 2019, the Academy of National Economy and Public Administration under the President of the Russian Federation introduced a scientific educational program in the field of “Doctor of Public Administration (DPA).
Public administration mechanisms involve a theoretical and methodological analysis of the administrative and organizational activities of the state, the functions, powers and structure of state bodies at all levels. At the same time, within the framework of the civil service system, issues of service in local and central authorities, human resource management in the public sector, and the provision of quality services to citizens are studied.
The changes taking place in the life of the state and society create the need for a systematic approach to fundamental and applied research on public administration. Because public administration covers many interrelated aspects of such disciplines as political and legal, socio-economic, philosophical, and sociological. The study of management processes through the prism of these scientific approaches is of great importance for increasing the effectiveness of public administration.
Uzbekistan, pursuing the strategic goal of joining the ranks of developed countries, is also implementing fundamental reforms to renew and modernize the public administration system. In particular, the creation of new systems for training, retraining and advanced training of personnel, as well as the development of scientific and research work, play an important role in this process.
Firstly, the process of forming public administration and civil service as a separate socio-political institution in the modernizing Uzbekistan is complicated. The lack of qualified personnel in the field, the fact that their professional competencies do not fully meet the requirements of the time, negatively affects the pace of development. This indicates the need to improve the organizational and legal framework of management and deepen scientific and theoretical approaches.
Secondly, today our country is undergoing reforms related to the decentralization of public administration. This process requires a review of the powers of local authorities, effective management of territories, and strengthening the scientific and methodological foundations of local governance. Therefore, the study of the local governance system as an integral part of public administration is of urgent importance.
Thirdly, currently the Academy of Public Administration under the President of the Republic of Uzbekistan is tasked with conducting fundamental and scientific and practical research in the field of public and public administration. However, the existing experience has not yet fully provided the opportunity to comprehensively and systematically solve the problems of public administration. Therefore, it is necessary to increase the efficiency of scientific research, create new scientific schools, and expand the ranks of experienced experts.
The process of gradual renewal of the public administration system in the Republic of Uzbekistan is steadily continuing. However, in this direction, one of the important tasks is to eliminate gaps in the education system, implement qualitative changes in the training of management personnel, and systematize scientific research. On this basis, it is necessary to strengthen the integration between scientific research, the educational process, and practice in the field of public administration.
As the Head of our state has repeatedly emphasized:
“Without the creation of an effective system for selecting and training innovative and independent-minded, responsible, initiative-taking, patriotic, and honest personnel who have thoroughly mastered advanced management methods, there will be no qualitative change in public administration.”
Based on this approach, an international scientific and practical conference was organized at the Academy of Public Administration under the President of the Republic of Uzbekistan on the topic “Modern Problems of the Public Administration System and Priority Tasks for Development”. The main goal of the conference is to identify modern problems and shortcomings in the public administration system of Uzbekistan, study foreign experience, determine strategic directions, and develop practical recommendations. More than 200 scientists, representatives of government bodies, and international experts participated in the event. Heads of public administration institutions from Kyrgyzstan, Korea, and Kazakhstan also participated online and discussed cooperation in the development of public administration.
The conference featured sections on topics such as the evolution of the state administration system, political leadership, organization of governance in the social sphere, and management practice in the digital economy. This event served to strengthen the participants’ strategic planning, analysis, and modern management skills.
In conclusion, the role of the head of state in state administration is incomparable. If a state is led by a fair, patriotic, educated, and responsible person, such a state will be far from crisis. At the same time, the active participation of citizens in governance is also important, because the development of the state is closely related to the initiative and actions of the people.
The head of state must create the necessary opportunities for citizens to realize their potential. The governance system of each state has its own characteristics, and if it is based on the principles of democracy, the rule of law, and taking into account the opinions of citizens, shortcomings in governance will be reduced. To this end, the establishment of priority strategic directions by state leaders serves to eliminate problems in the governance system and increase its efficiency.
CONCLUSION
In today’s globalization environment, modernizing the public administration system, creating effective mechanisms, and forming a management model based on the human factor are becoming the strategic goals of every country. If the public administration system does not operate in line with the requirements of the times, it becomes difficult to ensure consistency and stability in the development of society. Therefore, the management reforms being implemented in the Republic of Uzbekistan are aimed at strengthening the interaction between the state and society, strengthening the principles of openness, transparency, and accountability.
The fundamental changes being implemented in the field of public administration rely, first of all, on human capital. Because qualified, dedicated, and innovative personnel are needed for the successful implementation of any reform. In this regard, increasing the level of knowledge of civil servants, strengthening their professional training, and developing their digital competencies are among the most important tasks of today.
In addition, studying foreign experience in the public administration system is also of particular importance. In particular, the management practice of countries such as the USA, Great Britain, South Korea, Singapore, Kazakhstan and Russia shows that the introduction of innovative technologies, the creation of a digital management system and the widespread application of the “single window” principle can improve the quality of public services and reduce bureaucratic obstacles.
Significant results are being achieved in this direction in Uzbekistan. In recent years, electronic governance platforms have been introduced in the public administration system within the framework of the “Digital Uzbekistan – 2030” strategy, and public services are being automated.
At the same time, reforms are being carried out in the public administration system, such as evaluating employee performance, strengthening their personal responsibility, and introducing a performance-based management system. Also, one of the pressing issues in public administration is the deepening of the decentralization policy by expanding the independence of local authorities and increasing their financial and organizational capabilities. This will serve to solve problems on the ground in the regions, strengthen the participation of the population in management processes, and develop civil society.
In this regard, the following areas are of priority in improving the public administration system:
1. Improving the system of training and advanced training of public administration personnel, updating curricula based on modern methodologies.
2. Introducing innovative and digital technologies in public administration, forming a management culture based on data analysis.
3. Accelerate the process of decentralization by expanding the powers of local government bodies and providing them with resources.
Improve the quality of public services, develop convenient and fast interactive services for citizens.
4. Support scientific research in the field of public administration and strengthen the practice of making management decisions based on a scientific approach.
In conclusion, the reforms being carried out in the Republic of Uzbekistan to improve and increase the efficiency of the public administration system are aimed at ensuring the sustainable socio-economic development of the country. The success of this process depends, first of all, on the qualifications of management personnel, the patriotism of civil servants and the activity of citizens. In the future, through the widespread introduction of scientifically based management approaches, strengthening international cooperation and the formation of an innovative management culture, Uzbekistan can be recognized as a model of effective management in the world.

In the vast kingdom called literature, where I still wander without having found my true place, I have gathered all my humility and courage to call you my mentor.
It was through your books that I first felt the truth — how vividly and honestly life’s scenes could be reflected in art.
When I read your story “The Affairs of the World” (“Dunyoning ishlari”), I felt as though my own mother — her kindness, her wisdom, her entire life’s path — had found its way into your book. It seemed to me that this story was written about my mother.
Your novel “Between Two Doors” (“Ikki eshik orasi”) — I first read it when I was fifteen, and then three more times in later years. Not because I didn’t understand it, but because my soul needed it, because the heart itself longs for such a book.
Each time I read it, there are three moments that make me cry:
When Robiya marries her uncle Shomurod, when Kimsan meets a heroic death, and when Munavvar’s life ends in such sorrow.
There are, in truth, countless moments in that book that tear at my heart.
While reading it, I even found myself upset with you — why, dear teacher, why did you give poor Robiya such a bitter fate? It pains me deeply. She loved Kimsan all her life, she waited for him. Yet in the end — by fate’s decree and her mother’s will — for the sake of her little son Muzaffar, she was forced to marry her uncle, the same man who once told her:
> “Don’t hold your wedding without me — I’ll come and arrange everything myself.”
And Kimsan… even in his final moments of life, he said,
> “At least one of you, I will take with me,”
and drowned with the fascist in the river.
Even years later, the shadow of that war fell upon Muzaffar and Munavvar’s marriage, breaking hearts anew.
Every one of your books draws me into their world — I live beside your characters, breathe their emotions, and feel their joys and sorrows as my own.
I am your daughter in spirit — one who dreams of writing works that live forever, and who will always remember you with pride.
With love and gratitude,
Your student,
Oynur Azimova
The Need for Creativity
Creativity — it is like an addiction, a beautiful yet incurable illness.
Whoever is struck by it lives a lifetime battling the fever of inspiration. In the end, such a person either creates beauty — or serves discoveries that bring both greatness and tragedy to humankind (like the invention of the atomic bomb).
Every human being, in some way, is sensitive to the world around them — to the living and the lifeless — they observe, reflect, and are inspired. Each person possesses some form of creative ability.
But only through talent and nurturing can that ability be developed and brought to light.
Human nature itself is creative. Everyone finds rest in some form of creation — some in drawing, others in composing music or conducting research that nourishes the soul.
So, what gives birth to creativity?
1. Healing:
When a person falls into depression, engaging in their favorite form of art or creation helps them heal and find balance again.
2. Broadening worldview:
Those who create regularly have more active minds, think independently, and are capable of making their own decisions.
3. Fame:
A desire to be remembered as a remarkable individual — to leave one’s mark in the memory of humankind.
4. Material need:
Some people sell their creative works or create for financial reasons.
Whatever the motivation, creation is a necessity — it is the voice of the human soul searching for meaning, beauty, and immortality.

Emran Emon named among South Asia’s influential columnistsFeature Desk: Prominent journalist, columnist and global affairs analyst Emran Emon has been listed among South Asia’s most influential columnists—alongside some of the subcontinent’s most celebrated intellectuals and literary figures.The prestigious lineup includes India’s Shashi Tharoor, Arundhati Roy, P. Sainath, Barkha Dutt, Ravish Kumar and Ramachandra Guha; Pakistan’s I.A. Rehman, Kamila Shamsie, Huma Yusuf and Mohsin Hamid; Sri Lanka’s Rohini Mohan and Dayan Jayatilleka, and Nepal’s Kanak Mani Dixit. Other Bangladeshis on this list include Syed Badrul Ahsan, Mahfuz Anam and Afsan Chowdhury. Recently, a Google statistical report published these findings.What makes this achievement remarkable is that Emran Emon is the youngest columnist on the list, representing Bangladesh with intellectual distinction and moral clarity at a time when the region’s journalistic integrity and freedom of expression face renewed tests.Reflecting on this milestone, Emran Emon said with characteristic humility: “To see my name—especially as the youngest—stand beside these globally acclaimed intellectuals, representing Bangladesh, is nothing short of a lifetime honor. I do not take pride in my name alone; my pride lies in the word ‘Bangladesh‘ that stands beside it.”Over the past few years, Emran Emon has emerged as one of South Asia’s most incisive and fearless voices. Earlier, Emran Emon was listed in the Hindustan Times’ HT Syndication list of South Asia’s best writers.

His pieces, published in both English and Bengali, have gained widespread readership across South Asia and the global diaspora.An editor of an influential English daily noted: “Emran Emon’s inclusion is more than personal success—it’s a national moment as well as a matter of pride for Bangladesh itself. He represents a generation of Bangladeshis who think globally but remain deeply rooted in the moral soil of 1971. His pen carries both intellect and integrity. Emran Emon has always been a nationalist writer who writes against the current. The bold and fearless pieces he has written—born of a deep sense of Bangladeshi nationalism—stand as a priceless asset to the nation.”
