History-Vitebsk State Technological University

Belarusian light industry had been widely developed by the 1960s.

Many new businesses of knitwear, footwear, sewing and other industries were restored and built after World War II.

There was a need for light industry personnel in the republic.

On August 14, 1959 the Council of Ministers of the BSSR approved the proposal of the Ministry of Higher and Secondary Special Education to construct the Technological Institute of Light Industry in Vitebsk.

The planned complex consisted of the following buildings:

1. Education building.
2. Laboratory building.
3. Two dormitories for 205 and 651 seats.
4. Sports complex.

The drawings for the construction were completed in February 1964.

The construction was carried out by the 38th Building Department of Construction Trust № 9. The team which built the Institute received the Order of Lenin.

The commission of the academic building, the first hostel and external communications took place on the 1st of September 1965.

The decision to open the Institute was signed by the Government and the Council of Ministers of the BSSR on June 24, 1965.

Professor, Doctor of Science Stepan Evdokimovich Savitski, who previously worked at Minsk Institute of Agriculture as the chair of chemistry department, became Rector of the Institute by the order of the Ministry of Higher and Secondary Special Education of the BSSR.

Stepan Evdokimovich Savitskilived lived a hard life. The events that included festive and sorrowful dates in the history of the country became his personal biography, his fate. He received a certificate of education in 1941, and in 1942 - a certificate of courage. He was a partisan scout, a war veteran. Together with other members of Berlin storming, he put a winning point in the brutal war.

Stepan Evdokimovich was a great enthusiast of chemistry, to which he remained faithful all his life. He dedicated 23 years of hard work to the Institute.

The enrollment of students to Vitebsk Technological Institute started in June 1965. At that time the Institute trained light industry engineers in 5-specialties:

Machinery and Production of Light Industry Equipment;

• Sewn Goods Technology;
• Knitwear Production;
• Leather Goods Design;
• Chemical Engineering and Equipment for Finishing (training in Ivanovo).

There were only 250 people and 49 teachers.

On September 1, 1965, there was a meeting to mark the opening of the Institute and the beginning of classes. Laboratories, drawing rooms, a library were set up during the first year of the Institute. New specialities were opened at the university in 1966:

• Economics and Organization of Light Industry;

Large and complex tasks of recovering the economy of Belorussia in the 20-ies of the  20th  century required  training of highly qualified personnel for all branches of national economy.

Therefore, on 10 December 1920 Minsk polytechnic school was transformed into higher technical educational establishment  “Belorussian state polytechnic” for training engineers with high education in main directions of industrial activity of the state. Five faculties carried out the admission of students: mechanical, civil engineering, cultural and professional, chemical and technological, electrical engineering. N.K. Yaroshevich was appointed the first rector.

The teaching staff included  50 teachers. 305 full-time students and 119 students of preparatory department studied during the first academic year at the institute.

Later on, after some reorganization on 1 July 1933 the Sovnarcom of Belorussia decided to restore a polytechnical institute, where about 120 teachers and 20 departments had been working by September 1933. 1200 students studied at the institute.

In the early 40-ies of the 20th century BPI became one of the leading technical institutes of the Soviet Union. 32 departments of four faculties trained engineers in seven specialities.The number of teachers increased up to 180,  including 19 professors and 71 senior lecturers. About 2000 engineers were trained during 1933-1941.

The Great Patriotic war interrupted the work of BPI. It resumed in 1945, when 375 students began to study. In 1949 the number of students went up to 1500, more than 160 teachers worked at 37 departments.

On 17 April 1991 a decision to reorganize  Belorussian polytechnical institute into Belorussian state polytechnical academy (BSPA) was taken.

On 1 April 2002 under the decree of the President of the Republic of Belarus Belorussian state polytechnical academy was reorganized into Belarusian national technical university (BNTU).

During the ninety years of its existence BPI-BSPA-BNTU has trained 170000 specialists.
