Within the framework of cooperation with the Chuvash State Agrarian University, the August company, on the occasion of the 90th anniversary of the university, equipped the auditorium of the department of agriculture, crop production, selection and seed production. At the expense of a major Russian pesticide manufacturer, the premises were renovated, educational furniture and innovative multimedia equipment were purchased and installed: 25 high-performance monoblocks for students, a projector, and an interactive whiteboard. Also, the audience is equipped with all the necessary visual materials and teaching aids.
Rector of the Agricultural University Andrey Makushev thanked "August" for such a significant gift and noted that the company has created training conditions that make it possible to train specialists of a new formation with modern competencies and knowledge. Deputy Chairman of the Cabinet of Ministers - Minister of Agriculture of the Chuvash Republic Sergei Artamonov, who was present at the opening ceremony of the auditorium, emphasized that the company "August" conducts a socially responsible business, which is confirmed by many projects implemented in Chuvashia.
New equipment, a comfortable educational environment and interaction with agronomy professionals who know their business both in theory and in practice are important conditions for training young professionals who, by the time they start working, should understand modern agricultural technologies, including those related to protection crops from pests, diseases and weeds. The new auditorium is well positioned to demonstrate live case studies of crop protection chemicals using remote communication with agronomists, technologists and consultants across the country. Representative offices of "August" operate in 60 regions of Russia and the company is ready to share its unique experience so that the ranks of specialists employed in the domestic agro-industrial complex replenish as many promising personnel as possible.
“Future agronomists gain knowledge within the walls of the university. I am sure that under such conditions, students will study with great desire and aspiration to become excellent specialists,” said Vladimir Sveshnikov, director of the Branch of JSC Firm “August” “Vurnar plant of mixed preparations” and a deputy of the State Council of Chuvashia.
The students were invited to visit the Augusta enterprise in Vurnary, one of the company's four production sites (three more are located in the Republic of Tatarstan, the Republic of Belarus and China). To date, the plant's product range includes 106 types of pesticides for large agricultural producers and 67 for owners of private farms and summer residents. The company produces its own containers: the available capacities allow the production of modern canisters, jars, glasses, bottles and lids that meet all safety requirements. Preparations made in Vurnary are supplied to all the most important agricultural regions of Russia, as well as to Azerbaijan, Algeria, Angola, Armenia, Belarus, Brazil, Georgia, Egypt, Zimbabwe, Kazakhstan, Colombia, Morocco, Moldova, Mongolia, Tunisia, Uzbekistan, Ecuador and Ethiopia.
It is worth noting that in 2021, the August company equipped classrooms in two more Russian universities: Penza State Agrarian University and Kursk State Agricultural Academy.
