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.
