On March 20, 2025, in celebration of National Sports Day, the Department of Customs, Finance, and Environmental Law organized an event titled Sport is the Key to Health. This event was held as part of the implementation of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) No. 3, which focuses on ensuring healthy lives and promoting well-being for all. The main goal of the event was to promote Kazakh culture and traditions, modernize national sports, and foster a healthy lifestyle among youth.
The event was organized by the head of the Department of Customs, Finance, and Environmental Law, Dr. G. A. Kuanalieva, and senior lecturers S. M. Zhapakov and M. Umbetov.
