It had well-equipped laboratories, demonstration rooms and a library which had many volumes of Uzbek, Russian and foreign scientific books and journals. The Academy established close contacts with the coal and ore mining industries. The scientists carried out scientific research and worked on important mining problems. The rapid growth of the mining industry called for the training of more highly-qualified specialists and the establishment of new educational institutions. New collieries and open-cast mines, concentration plants, metallurgical works and metal-working factories for processing non-ferrous and ferrous metals appeared in the country. The people took an active part in the construction of new industrial enterprises. The Academy alone could not cope with the problem of training specialists. In 1930 the Mining Academy was transformed into six independent institutes. Among the new colleges which grew out of the Academy’s departments were the Tashkent Mining Institute and the Tashkent Institute of Geological Prospecting. Later, the scientific research Institute of Mining appeared near Tashkent. II.
