Rustam Minnikhanov takes part in a meeting of the Russian Presidential Council for Strategic Development and National Projects

On December 8, during his working visit to Moscow, the Rais (Head) of Tatarstan Rustam Minnikhanov took part in a meeting of the Russian Presidential Council for Strategic Development and National Projects held by Russian President Vladimir Putin with participation of Russian Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin at which Russian President emphasized that national projects are key instruments for achieving national goals. A comprehensive regulatory framework was developed to launch them across the board with funding sources identified and digital monitoring of the results organized which relies on assessments from citizens, businesses and professional communities, as well as on quarterly opinion polls.

Nineteen national projects have been launched and are successful. A list of 121 indicators has been compiled as part of the work to achieve national development goals. Unfortunately, seven of these currently face a high risk of non-fulfillment. However, most of the benchmarks set for this year have been met.

Plans for relocating people from dilapidated housing have been fulfilled. Agricultural output is growing, and the share of creative industries is increasing. Progress was achieved in developing domestic technologies in the fuel and energy sector and in the field of peaceful atom. The waste management industry and the formation of a circular economy are developing at a good pace.

During the implementation of the national projects, problem areas were also identified, namely the demographic situation. Despite the measures taken, the negative trend persists: the birth rate continues to decline.

Russian President also called for efforts to improve the well-being of Russian families and ensure growth in citizens' incomes.
