The "Garagum" literary association has been established at the S.A. Niyazov Turkmen Agricultural University.
The university literary association was created to introduce students to literary heritage of their nation, foster patriotism, pride in national history, develop mentorship, identify and encourage talented youth, support their creative initiatives, abilities, potential, and teach students literary and oratory skills.
The association's creation also aims to widely promote the works of Turkmen poets and writers, as well as outstanding examples of classical, national and world literature among young people.
The opening of the "Garagum" literary association at the university in 2024 is deeply symbolic, as this year is held under the motto "Fount of Wisdom of Magtymguly Fragi" and marks the 300th anniversary of the birth of the greatest classical poet, thinker and philosopher of the East, Magtymguly Fragi.
The priceless literary works of this outstanding legendary figure are gems in the treasury of our ancestors' heritage. Their wise teachings and precepts are important for the younger generation, widely studied and popularized in modern society, and inspire the Turkmen people to achieve high goals in the era of the Revival of the new epoch of the powerful state.
It is planned that creatively gifted students of the S.A. Niyazov Turkmen Agricultural University, as well as talented youth from other universities of the country, will participate in literary meetings and association sessions. Additionally, teachers of Turkmen higher education institutions, modern writers, poets and journalists will be involved in the association's activities and work with young people.
