Our town

I live in Balakovo. The village Balakovo was founded in 1762 by old believes. In 1913 Balakovo was transformed into a town. Our town is the second largest town on Saratov region  with population of about 250 thousand people. Balakovo has a lot of factories, offices, museums, institute of thechnick, technology and management, drama theatre and cinemas. The construction of the hydroelectric power station in 1957 in Balakovo caused the rapid development of industry in our town. In our town there are many different industrial enterprises. Such as the rubber Goods works, hydroelectric power station and Nuclear Station. Our town has 28 schools, 4 professional schools, 2 sport schools, 2 music schools. In our town there are some public gardens and sirde streets. Balakovo is divided into two parts: an old part and a new one. Our town is a wonderful.

Our institute.

The Balakovo Institute is the largest department of the Saratov State Technical University. The construction of the hydroelectric power Station in 1957 in Balakovo caused the rapid development of industry in our town. So it was quite natural that a great number of highly engineers, were needed for different new enterprises of our town.

That is why in 1957 the Balakovo faculty was founded as a department of the Saratov Polytechical Institute. At that time the studies were in a small two storied wooden building. There were  only six professors and 100 students at the faculty.

In 1963 the first 50 students graduated from the institute. They became the civil and mechanical engineers.

Fill the year, 1966 the faculty had only evening classes, now it has both evening and day-time classes.

In 1977 the Balakovo engineering faculty was transformed into a Branch. Three quite independent faculties were organized. They are civil engineering,  and mechanical engineering, and extramural engineering departments.

At present our institute houses in three large modern buildings.

Our Branch has a wonderful sport complex with two sporting halls, a swimming pool, a sports – graund. Many of town’s sport competitions take place in our sport complex.
