History

The history of the Tashkent Institute of Irrigation and Agricultural Mechanization Engineers dates back to the Soviet Union. The university was first established in 1923 as the department of Turkistan State University. It was created under the technical faculty and was called Hydro Technical Engineering. In its first year of establishment, 24 agronomists and 16 water conservation specialists graduated from the faculty. The history of this university could be recognized on the second occasion. After six years of opening the Hydro Technical Engineering department, the government decided to establish a new department under the Melioration Engineering Faculty. Those two departments were linked together in 1929, which led to the establishment of Central Asian Cotton Irrigation Polytechnic University. On 11 November 1934, Central Asian Cotton Irrigation Polytechnic University was merged with the Central Asian Institute of Agricultural Industry Irrigation and Mechanization, which was the reason for the creation of the Tashkent Institute of Agricultural Industry Irrigation and Mechanization. In the first years of establishment, there were only two faculties, Hydromelioration and Mechanization. After World War II, the agricultural industry of the country increased rapidly, which affected the need for professional employees.

After World War II, a number of faculties were created: Building (1945), Mechanization of Hydro Melioration (1946), and Hydro Energetics (1946). In 1974 a new faculty was named Technology of Repairing Agricultural Industry Machines and Creating Them. In 1979 a number of engineering faculties were opened, which was directly linked to the economic growth in Uzbekistan.

After the independence of Uzbekistan, all the textbooks were interpreted into Uzbek language, and most of the classes started to be taught in the native language of Uzbekistan. In 2004, on 30 March by the edict of the Cabinet of Ministers of Uzbekistan, the institute obtained its current name. This meant that the Tashkent Institute of Agricultural Industry Irrigation and Mechanization was renamed to the Tashkent Institute of Irrigation and Melioration. In 2017 institute took the name Tashkent Institute of Irrigation and Agricultural Mechanization Engineers. Nowadays the institute involves five faculties with 30 departments. It has 353 professors and teachers and more than 4860 students.

• Faculty of mechanization of hydromeliorative works
• Faculty of power supply of agriculture and water management
• Faculty of agricultural mechanization
• Building of Hydro Technical Construction
• Faculty of land management

Faculty of organization and management of water resources

Until the 1970s there were no economists on the water industry in Uzbekistan. This caused some serious problems in water consumption and utilization. In 1974, in order to solve this problem, a new branch was opened under the faculty of Hydro Technical Constructions", called the Economy of Water Industry and its Analysis. In 1976, this branch was set as the independent faculty and started working as one of the biggest parts of the institute. From the first years, about 50 students were invited to the university and in 1979 the first 50 students graduated from this faculty. After the independence of Uzbekistan, in 2015 the faculty was renamed to its current name: Water Industry Management. Nowadays, the dean of the faculty is docent Ibragimov Abdimalik Gapparovich. On the campus of the faculty, there are two language classes, four computer classes, and more than 20 study classes, which are supplied with modern education materials and information technologies.

The Water Industry Management faculty has seven departments:

• Information technologies
• Water industry economy
• Control under the water industry
• Theoretical economy
• Accounting and audit
• Foreign languages
• English language

Hydromelioration faculty

The history of the Hydro Melioration faculty can be separated into two parts: the Soviet Union times and the period after the independence of Uzbekistan. The past of the faculty is directly linked with the history of the university, which means that the faculty was created in 1923 and was the first faculty in the history of the university. In the first year, only eight students graduated from the faculty, and then there were 274 students and 49 professors. On 16 November 1934, the number of students increased rapidly to 705. The establishment of the faculty led to economic growth in Central Asia. After independence, the faculty was mixed with two different departments. Nowadays it has three main bachelor's degree branches:

• Mechanization of Water Industry and Melioration
• Ecology
• Hydro Energetics

The departments located in the faculty are:

• Ecology
• Physical education
• Physics
• Chemistry

Faculty of power supply of agriculture and water management

Faculty of power supply of agriculture and water management was established after the World War, when there were high demands for workers in the agricultural industry. The faculty was created after mixing the two faculties of Mechanization of Hydro Melioration Works 1946 and Automating the Agricultural Industry 1962. It happened because of the 415th edict which was made by the Cabinet of Ministers of Uzbekistan, on 3 September 2004.

There are four departments in faculty of power supply of agriculture and water management:

• Electricity and renewable energy sources
• Technological breakthrough and simplification of automation and optimization
• Electrical Engineering and Mechatronics
• The use of electrical technologies and electrical appliance

Faculty of Hydrotechnical Constructions

Nowadays the dean of the Faculty of Hydrotechnical Constructions" is docent B.B. Xasanov. The history of the establishment goes back to 1946, when the first woman irrigator T.A. Kolpakova opened the Building of Small and Medium Hydroelectric-Stations faculty. After some years the faculty was called the Hydro Technical Building. However, big changes to the faculty came in the independence years of Uzbekistan. In 1991 the faculty was considered to be the department due to the changes in infrastructure. During those years, the faculty worked as part of the Center for Preparing the Irrigation Engineers" and from 1996 it became part of the Hydro Melioration faculty" and prepared professionals in the water industry building" field. After the edict made by the Cabinet of Ministers of Uzbekistan, the small department became the fully functioning faculty with the name Building of Irrigation Hydro Technical Constructions and Utilization. The faculty obtained its current name by the 311 edict which was made on 3 November 2015, by the Cabinet of Ministers of Uzbekistan. The four departments involved inside the faculty are:

• Hydrotechnical Constructions constructions and engineering designs
