Many public holidays do not have a fixed date. One of them is the day of machine builders, which is celebrated on the last September Sunday. It was approved by the decree "On holidays and memorable days" in 1980 and is familiar to many millions of citizens.
Engineering
The machine-building industry is the technological core of the industry. It is closely connected with transport, the fuel and energy complex, communications, the agro-industrial complex, construction, the military-industrial complex, and ensures their smooth functioning and replenishment of the consumer market.
Engineering Day celebrates 40% of enterprises that are on their own balance in the industry. These are 7.5 thousand large organizations and 30 thousand small companies. Several million people work in enterprises.
Energy intensity, material consumption, labor productivity, environmental safety, state defense capacity depend on the level of development of this industry. Engineering includes many sub-sectors: energy, railway, metallurgy, mining and mining, oil and chemical, tractor, shipbuilding, rocket science and others.
Complex development
On machine builders' day, the media publish various reports. They show that the automotive industry occupies 27.4% of the total output; electrical engineering and instrumentation - 12.3%; transport and energy - 10.3%; petrochemical and chemical engineering - 6%; defense industry - over 35% and so on. The machine-building complex is constantly developing thanks to the socio-economic policy of the Government of the Russian Federation. A high growth rate is observed in the production of computers and office equipment, automobiles, freight cars.
Engineering Day is important for agricultural workers. Recently, the production of forestry and agricultural equipment has grown significantly. This day awards and honors of the best workers are held, which undoubtedly stimulates labor productivity.
The whole country celebrates the holiday, but a particularly wide range of festivities is observed in those cities where this sector of the economy is developed. Engineering Day in 2013 was September 29th. On a solemn date Togliatti distinguished itself with its 17-day marathon Paris-Togliatti and Nizhny Novgorod, where the engineering enterprises of the region competed in futsal. Each city arranges its entertainment program, concerts, performances. On this day, according to tradition, enterprises always congratulate employees and award the best of them.
