These days, consumer goods produced by factories and enterprises in Songyo District, Pyongyang, are much favoured by Pyongyang citizens.

It is thanks to the Songyo District Committee of Science and Technology which pushes forward with the work to solve the sci-tech problems arising at the production sites.

Especially the committee intensifies technical guidance to make sure that they build up their own technical forces, introduce techniques of production based on domestic raw materials and modernize production processes.

Its officials always go to the production units to lead them to steadily supplement their sci-tech development plans with urgent problems arising in improving their production and business activities. It also grasps in time the achievements and experiences of the units which activate production by relying on science and technology and works to distribute and generalize these achievements and experience.

Kim Song Gun, senior staffer of the committee, said that they regularly collect and analyse data on advanced technologies and diffuse them to suit the characteristics of different units.

To this end, it inspires sci-tech disseminators of the factories and enterprises to enhance their responsibility and role and makes sure that sci-tech learning spaces are rationally operated to suit the actual conditions there.

Thus, this year alone, the Songyo Foodstuff Factory developed and introduced an instant noodle transfer device to raise the production rate per unit hour and the Songyo Ceramic Factory set up a gas generator-based ceramic kiln to ensure the whiteness of ceramics while saving much electricity and improving the production environment.

Meanwhile, the new technology research and dissemination office of the committee promotes research projects including those for inventing and introducing a current stabilization welder and a battery-operated lawn mower.
