Putin outlined priorities for Dagestan's development

In Dagestan, demographic growth is becoming a driver of change: the republic needs to seriously strengthen the education and healthcare sectors so that the social infrastructure can keep up with population growth. This was stated by Vladimir Putin at a meeting with Fyodor Shchukin, who was previously elected to the post of head of the republic. The Head of State congratulated the politician on his appointment and outlined priority areas of work: from carefully preserving the traditions and culture of the peoples of Dagestan to solving pressing social and economic issues.

What was discussed at the meeting

Vladimir Putin congratulated Fyodor Shchukin on his election as head of Dagestan. On October 15, the National Assembly approved his candidacy. The President called the republic an outpost of Russia in the Caucasus and stressed that the government should rely on the culture, customs and religion of Dagestan residents, and on this basis develop the economy and industry to solve pressing social problems. Fyodor Shchukin thanked for the trust and promised to do everything to meet expectations.

The President separately noted the historical role of Dagestanis in the life of the country: according to the head of state, for many years the inhabitants of the republic have been confirming their devotion to both their homeland and the whole of Russia, showing an active civic position. Separately, the head of state noted their contribution to the fulfillment of the tasks of the special military operation, emphasizing their courage and high level of responsibility in various positions, up to the highest in the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation.

"We need to provide assistance and support to our servicemen, their family members and, of course, to those guys who are returning from combat work," the head of state reminded.

Vladimir Putin called the high birth rate in Dagestan both a reason for pride and a serious challenge to the social infrastructure. According to the president, demographic growth is directly affecting the education and healthcare systems. The Head of State outlined specific tasks: it is necessary to increase the number of places in kindergartens, eliminate the second and third school shifts, and consistently modernize the outpatient clinic. The infrastructure will have to not just "catch up" with demographics, but work ahead of schedule so that the comfort and accessibility of basic social services remain at the proper level.
