About the university

The Novocherkassk State Reclamation Academy dates back to the start of work in Novocherkassk by the Don Polytechnic Institute (DPI), the grand opening of which took place on October 18, 1907. Among 4 faculties, a completely new engineering and reclamation faculty was opened, located until 1927 in building of the current motor transport college.

Professor Viktor Iosifovich Deich was appointed the first dean of the Faculty of Reclamation Engineering. On his initiative and with his active participation of teacher Dmitry Petrovich Mazurenko, work began on creating an office for agricultural reclamation at the faculty.

In 1923, as part of the Don Institute of Agriculture and Land Reclamation (DISHiM), she began working under the guidance of Professor B.A. Shumakov research reclamation station. At the same time, Professor P.A. Witte creates educational and experimental farm No. 1 in Persianovka. In 1928, engineer M.M. Grishin opens a hydraulic engineering laboratory.

In 1930, in connection with the reorganization on the basis of DISKhiM, two new independent universities appeared: the reclamation faculty, which served as the basis for the formation of the North Caucasus Institute of Water Management (SKIVKhiM) in Novocherkassk, and the agronomic department - the North Caucasus Grain Institute in Persianovka (now DonGAU).

The North Caucasus Institute of Water Management and Land Reclamation (SKIVKhiM) was often called simply the “Water” Institute. The new institute opened faculties: hydraulic engineering, agroforestry and forest reclamation.

In February 1933, the Institute of Agroforestry Reclamation was added to SKIVKhiM and on the basis of this association the Novocherkassk Engineering and Reclamation Institute (NIMI) was created with three faculties: hydraulic engineering, irrigated agriculture and forest reclamation.

The building of the former Donskoy Mariinsky Institute of Noble Maidens on the street is transferred to the new institute. Postal (now Pushkinskaya St.).

In 1934, a new structure of NIMI was approved, consisting of two faculties - hydraulic engineering and forest reclamation. In the first decades, scientists and teachers worked at NIMI: institute directors G.I. Myshansky and I.S. Khomenko, Academician of the All-Russian Academy of Agricultural Sciences, Honored Worker of Science and Technology of the RSFSR, Doctor of Technical Sciences B.A. Shumakov, Doctor of Technical Sciences, Professor M.M. Grishin, Honored Worker of Science and Technology of the RSFSR, Doctor of Technical Sciences, Professor V.S. Ovodov, Honored Worker of Science and Technology of the RSFSR, Doctor of Technical Sciences, Professor M.M. Skiba, Doctor of Agricultural Sciences, Professor V.P. Veselovsky, professor P.A. Witte, Professor M.P. Voskresensky, professor I.K. Fedichkin, professor P.F. Kononenko, Honored Forester of the RSFSR S.F. Bessarabov, Honored Land Reclamator I.S. Khomenko et al.

Georgy Ignatievich Myshansky worked as the director of NIMI during these years (1933-1937).

Further development of the Novocherkassk Engineering and Reclamation Institute was suspended by the Great Patriotic War that began in the summer of 1941. The educational and experimental workshops of NIMI began to produce products necessary for the front. Many teachers and students of NIMI went to the front in the very first days of the war. In the city, NIMI employees participated in the creation and provision of air defense for Novocherkassk.

About 100 students and employees of NIMI died on the battlefields.

Seven students and graduates of the institute were awarded the highest award. Heroes Soviet Union steel: V.K. Vdovenko, N.N. Gabov, I.P. Kalganov, I.I. Klimenko, G.I. Kopaev, A.K. Kortunov, G.K. Petrova.

With the end of the war in 1945, 155 people were admitted to the institute.

In 1950, the institute opened a correspondence department in the specialties of irrigation and forestry.

For its 50th anniversary, celebrated in 1957, the reclamation faculty prepared and graduated national economy There are about 5 thousand engineers in the country. In 1959, the faculties of hydraulic engineering and forest reclamation were renamed into hydraulic reclamation and forestry.

The NIMI team took an active part in resolving such important water and forestry problems as: the Volga-Don shipping canal, the Tsimlyansky hydroelectric complex, the irrigation systems of the Volga-Don zone, the Terek canal systems, the Kabardian and Alkhan-Churt irrigation and water supply systems, the Kargalinsky hydroelectric complex, the Nevinomyssk canal, Kuban-Kalaus system for watering the Staropol Territory, Novocherkassk State District Power Plant, creation of protective forest belts in the south-eastern regions of the European part of the Russian Federation, etc.

In 1964, the Faculty of Mechanization of Irrigation and Reclamation Works was opened at NIMI. In 1966, a faculty of advanced training for specialists in irrigation and forestry was opened at NIMI.

In 1967, Professor Pavel Mikhailovich Stepanov, who headed the institute until 1985, was appointed rector of NIMI.

In 1982, the first land management faculty in the North Caucasus region began operating at NIMI, graduating specialists in land management.

In 1983, NIMI was given the name of a graduate of the institute, Hero of the Soviet Union, Minister of the Gas Industry of the USSR Alexei Kirillovich Kortunov.

Under the rector of NIMI, Professor Vladimir Viktorovich Denisov (1985-1987), by order of the State Agro-Industrial Committee of the USSR dated March 21, 1986, the institute was subordinated to the State Agro-Industrial Committee of the USSR.

During the difficult years of various transformations in the country and NIMI, the period of management of the institute by Professor German Aleksandrovich Senchukov (1987-1994) fell. There was a real threat of reorganization of NIMI. In 1992, even the name of the main reclamation engineering faculty was changed. Now it has become the Faculty of Water Management and Land Reclamation. And only after the restoration of a normal attitude towards the problems of land reclamation, the faculty in 1996 again regained its former name - engineering and land reclamation.

In the mid-90s, the Novocherkassk Engineering and Reclamation Institute was transformed (1995) into the Novocherkassk State Reclamation Academy (NGMA).

By order of the rector of NGMA, Professor Viktor Nikolaevich Shkura, dated August 1, 2002, a reorganization was carried out at the academy, as a result of which, along with the previous existing faculties, two institutes of the academy were formed, namely: the engineering and reclamation institute (dir. Vladimir Nikolaevich Shkura) and the institute of economics and management (director Pavel Vadimovich Ivanov).

Currently, in the main building of the NSMA (Pushkinskaya St., 111) institutes are located and operate: reclamation engineering, and the institute of economics and management, as well as the faculty social work and vocational training. In the 3rd academic building (Platovsky Ave. 37), three faculties are located and operate: forestry, mechanization and land management.

In the anniversary year (2003), the Novocherkassk State Reclamation Academy (NGMA) has 37 departments, 335 scientific and pedagogical workers, including 47 doctors of science, professors, 158 candidates of science, 35 academicians of Russian and foreign academies, this is a university in which 6,500 students are educated in 12 specialties in full-time and part-time departments.

During the period from 1907 to 2003, 41,144 specialists were trained, including: 32,954 specialists with higher professional education, 1,234 graduates of postgraduate vocational education, 496 specialists with additional vocational education, 6970 specialists in mass working and non-working professions, 1539 specialists underwent advanced training and retraining, 8699 secondary school graduates completed pre-university training.

The Academy employs: Corresponding Member of the Russian Academy of Agricultural Sciences, 9 Honored Scientists, 7 Honored Land Reclamation Workers, 2 Honored Foresters, 2 Honored Land Surveyors, 3 recipients of the “Honorary Worker of Higher School” badge.

Canteens, libraries, gyms, dormitories, and Internet cafes are open to the staff and students of the reclamation academy. The academy has a well-established cultural life, amateur artistic activities, and a widely developed sports and physical education movement. Teachers and students of NSMA participate in many charity events and youth movements.

The staff of the only specialized university in Russia with a natural and reclamation profile, which has the status of a federal state educational institution higher professional education - Novocherkassk State Reclamation Academy (FSOU VPO NGMA), there are good prospects and I want to believe that the faculty of the academy will implement them in the best possible way.

Novocherkassk State Reclamation Academy is a higher educational institution in the North Caucasus. The university is an operating branch of the Don State Agrarian University and functions as a separate structural unit. This is a specialized scientific and training center in the field of water, forest and land reclamation, the only one in Russia in this profile.

The history of the academy begins in 1907. Then the Don Polytechnic Institute was formed, in which the faculty of reclamation engineering operated. It was this faculty that became the basis for a modern educational institution. Over the many years of its existence, the institution has undergone many changes; for a long time it bore the name of the Novocherkassk Engineering and Reclamation Institute named after A.K. Kortunova. And in 1995 it was awarded the title of academy.

The Academy trains highly professional specialists in the field of natural reclamation, which is in demand in the agricultural industry. The activities of the academy bring very positive results: thanks to the enormous work of the employees of the educational institution, more than 40 thousand trained personnel were graduated. University graduates become honored scientific and technical workers, honorary workers in various branches of agriculture, and successful managers of land reclamation enterprises in our large country.

For the successful implementation of reclamation programs, professionals are needed, who are trained at the following faculties of the academy:

Engineering and reclamation
Business and social technologies
Land management
Forestry
Mechanization
Water management and reclamation
Additional education

Additional education increases the level of training, competence in one’s field and contributes to a successful search for a job.

Numerous departments employ the best teachers who train land reclamation specialists at the highest level. Among the teachers there are honorary workers of higher education, honored scientists, prominent scientists in various fields.

Future specialists master organizational, management and marketing, and undergo training in production, technological, diagnostic, construction and design specialties. Research and teaching activities are widely developed as a profession in these specializations.

General information

The origins of higher reclamation education in the South of Russia go back to 1907, when the Faculty of Engineering and Reclamation was opened as part of the Don Polytechnic Institute (DPI). In relation to agricultural reclamation, the starting date for personnel training in our region can be considered 1916. It was then that the Higher Women's Agricultural Courses were created, which in 1918 acquired the status of the Don Agricultural Institute (DonSHIN), and from 1922 - the Don Institute of Agriculture and Land Reclamation ( DISKhiM). However, this university did not concentrate all the reclamation education that then existed on the Don. The Polytechnic Institute continued to train hydromeliorators.

The creation of a specialized reclamation university was dictated by the specific historical conditions of the development of the state. Modernization of industrial and agricultural production required design, survey and construction work, including the creation of large reclamation and water management systems in Central Asia and the Caucasus. This required not only significant material investments, but also the training of specialists in hydraulic engineering and forestry reclamation. The issue of concentrating the efforts of reclamation science and vocational education was put on the agenda. The reorganization of DISKhiM, the separation of the Engineering and Reclamation Faculty from the DPI and their merger into a separate North Caucasus Institute of Water Management and Reclamation (SKIVKhiM) was carried out on the basis of the resolution of the Presidium of the North Caucasus Regional Executive Committee No. 105 dated May 22, 1930. From now on, reclamation engineers prepare at an independent specialized university, and this date can rightfully be considered the birthday of the Novocherkassk Engineering and Land Reclamation Institute. The importance of SKIVKhiM as a specialized reclamation university increased even more due to the fact that Novocherkassk was also chosen as the location of the North Caucasus branch of the Institute of Agricultural Reclamation and Hydraulic Engineering. This gave a new impetus to the development of hydraulic engineering science and reclamation education in the south of the country. Reorganizations of SKIVKhiM also occurred later. In February 1933, the Institute of Agroforestry Engineers was annexed to it, and the combined university was renamed the Novocherkassk Engineering and Reclamation Institute with three faculties: hydraulic engineering, irrigated agriculture and forest reclamation. However, all the reorganizations and renamings up to the current ones did not change the main thing laid down in 1930: a multidisciplinary combination of the most important areas of reclamation education (from hydraulic engineering to forest reclamation).

Over the entire history of its existence, our university has trained more than 30 thousand certified specialists: land reclamation specialists, hydraulic engineers, foresters, builders, mechanics, land managers, economists, managers, social workers and engineer-teachers.

Among NIMI graduates are five Heroes of the Soviet Union, participants in the Great Patriotic War: G.K. Petrova, I.I. Klimenko, I.P. Kolganov, G.I. Kopaev, A.K. Kortunov. Hero of Socialist Labor, Academician of VASKHNIL B.A. worked at the institute for many years. Shumakov. Academicians and corresponding members of the All-Union Academy of Agricultural Sciences and the Russian Academy of Agricultural Sciences M.S. emerged from the walls of the institute. Grigorov, I.P. Kruzhilin, V.I. Petrov, B.B. Shumakov, V.N. Shchedrin, V.I. Olgarenko, ministers and deputy ministers of the USSR and the Russian Federation I.I. Borodavchenko, I.I. Budarin, A.V. Kolganov, A.K. Kortunov, V.P. Loginov, N.N. Mikheev, N.S. Cherepakhin, P.P. Chernyshov.

The graduates of the reclamation university are several dozen laureates of state and republican awards, more than 500 heads of federal and regional institutions and organizations, more than 120 honored workers of science and technology, honored reclamation workers, honored foresters, honored builders; more than 80 honorary workers from various industries economic activity; more than 100 doctors of science, professors and more than 1200 candidates of science, associate professors. Graduates of the institute became the organizers of faculties and departments of reclamation in 20 universities in Russia and the CIS countries - in Moscow, Leningrad (St. Petersburg), Rovno, Dnepropetrovsk, Kherson, Chisinau, Simferopol, Bryansk, Vologda, Ufa, Barnaul, Irkutsk , Volgograd, Krasnodar, Stavropol, Nalchik, Makhachkala, Elista, Tbilisi, Baku, as well as in universities in Algeria, Cuba, Mongolia, Kampuchea. The Institute gave a start in life to many heads of major research and design institutes. All these people are the pride of the university.

The main task today and in the future remains maintaining the current pace of development, continuing to improve the quality of the educational process and the volume of scientific research. IN lately Interest in land reclamation has begun to revive again; at the state level, a subprogram for the development of land reclamation until 2020 is being developed. The government of the Rostov region also sets the task of restoring and increasing the efficiency of use of irrigated lands and carrying out a number of measures to modernize the entire reclamation complex. Governor Vasily Golubev spoke about this when speaking at a meeting on the development of land reclamation in the Rostov region last year. All this inspires confidence that the need for qualified specialists will increase, and the scientific developments of university scientists will be in demand by the industry.

The main result of educational work is the high quality of trained specialists. Further work on concluding agreements with enterprises for targeted training of specialists seems promising. Many graduates of our university receive a diploma additional education. This is another promising option for training reclamation specialists. Graduates of the Faculty of Water Management, hydraulic engineers, land surveyors, forest reclamation specialists and landscape designers are in demand. Traditionally, our graduates are in demand in construction and operating organizations, at housing and communal services facilities in the city and in the countryside. Time dictates the need for quality training not only for specialists with higher education, but also mid-level specialists, as well as workers who are lacking in agricultural production. Therefore, since 2015, the reclamation college named after B.B. Shumakova.

The Institute strives to become a scientific center. To achieve these goals, the university has formed a scientific and innovation complex, which includes the Research Institute of Reclamation Technologies (NIIMT) and the Research and Design Institute of Hydraulic Engineering and Water Supply (NIPIIGiV). For joint research and innovation activities with the departments of the Federal State Unitary Enterprise RosNIIVH, an intersectoral research laboratory for hydrological and water management research (MNILGVI) was created on the basis of the university. The topics of scientific research conducted by university scientists meet current issues of reclamation of agricultural lands. Scientific and innovative activities are carried out according to the following priority areas, such as land reclamation and water management; hydraulic engineering, hydraulics and geoecology; forest reclamation; mechanization of environmental management; land management and cadastre; economics and management; man and society.

The institute employs 13 large scientific schools in all areas in the field of reclamation and water management, hydraulic engineering, economics.

Scientists and students of the institute regularly participate in various All-Russian exhibitions and competitions. In total, in 2014, NIMI DSAU took part in seven similar events, receiving 4 medals, 18 diplomas and 8 letters of thanks. In 2015, at the annual exhibition " Golden autumn“scientists of NIMI DSAU were awarded gold, silver and bronze medals; Associate Professor of the Department of Water Supply and Sanitation Alexey Vasiliev was awarded a Bronze medal in the nomination “Best Young Land Reclamation Scientist” in the competition “For Achieving High Performance in the Development of Land Reclamation”.

39% of full-time students are involved in research work. In 2014 35 student works participated in competitions and were awarded 3 medals, 24 diplomas, 2 certificates, 6 letters of gratitude.

The most important condition for the development of the university is the further expansion of international relations. One of the main directions remains joint work with companies producing sprinkler machines Reinke (USA) and Bauer (Austria). Contacts have been established with technological universities in Austria, and joint research work with the University of Zagreb (Croatia) is planned. Cooperation with the German public organization “INTEGRALeV” continues.

From 1930 to 2013, NIMI was an independent institution of higher education. Since 2013, on the basis of Order of the Ministry of Agriculture of Russia No. 319 dated August 28, 2013, Novocherkassk Engineering and Reclamation Institute named after A.K. Kortunova is a separate structural unit (branch) of the Don State Agrarian University.

In 1978, to coordinate the work, the Museum Council was created, which included teachers and staff - veterans of the Great Patriotic War; a “Search” group of students and teachers was formed to collect materials about war participants and Heroes of the Soviet Union.

In 1978, the museum opened large exhibitions: “Military Glory of NIMI” (exhibition about veterans of the Great Patriotic War, deceased students and employees of the institute, Heroes of the Soviet Union) and “Labor Glory of NIMI (exhibition about scientists, their works and inventions). To this day, the following works have been preserved and exhibited: “Irrigated plot” (model made under the direction of academician B.A. Shumakov in 1925), “Complex of water management measures in the Zimovnikovsky district of the Rostov region” (model made by B.A. Shumakov and N S. Timchenko, awarded two gold medals from VDNKh) and others. Of particular interest is the original architectural design of the Mariinsky Institute of Noble Maidens of 1888 (now the main building of the institute) with original inscriptions of the construction committee of the imperial chancellery and the signature of the architect and author of many buildings in the city of Novocherkassk A.A. Yashchenko.

The museum's exposition is constantly updated. Since 1988, exhibitions dedicated to famous NIMI graduates have been opened: A.K. Kortunov, a graduate of the Irrigation and Reclamation Faculty, Hero of the Soviet Union, Minister of Construction of Gas and Oil Industry Enterprises; P.G. Fialkovsky, chief expert on land reclamation at the UN; as well as land reclamation scientists B.A. Shumakov, V.I. Artsikhovsky, P.A. Kashinsky, M.M. Grishin, I.K. Fedichkina, M.P. Voskresensky, V.S. Ovodov and others.

The museum regularly hosts exhibitions dedicated to national events, and hosts competitions and presentations. The museum is visited by students, graduates, guests of the institute and the city, students of schools and other educational institutions.

In general, the activities of the NIMI history museum have a powerful educational effect for past, present and future generations of students of the Novocherkassk Engineering and Land Reclamation Institute.
