The meaning of re-naming
- The Esil River runs through Kazakhstan’s capital, not far from our University. The second major river in the republic: a sacred river connecting Ulytau, Saryarka and Northern Kazakhstan, a river bringing countries and regions together.
- In Kazakh, they say “‘esilip akkan su” – water jets twined with each other. We, by the way, want to train students with solid academic knowledge, flexible entrepreneurial skills and new ways of thinking.
- The lush green pastures in its valley (yashyl/jasyl) became the basis for the name of the river “Esil”, gold is the colour of wheat fields (“Altyn dan”) of the Great Steppe, what the Akmola land is famous for, in the Turkic toponymy and nomination “Altyn” (gold) means “the centre”. Therefore we have reflected them in the choice of colours for our University.
