(Mianyang News) -- (Reporter: Li Zhihao, Pei Yusong) In order to thoroughly implement the important exposition by General Secretary Xi Jinping on poverty alleviation and to implement the action to visit the people in need by secretaries of party committee of five tiers, Liu Chao, secretary of the municipal party committee visited poverty-stricken towns and villages of Santai County on January 2. He stressed that it is necessary to firmly shoulder the major political responsibility of tackling poverty, take more effective measures to solve the problem of sporadic poverty and work harder to reduce poverty so as to ensure we can fight against poverty as scheduled.
Ouyang Xiaorong, who lives in the Fourth Group of Gaojing Village, Jinshi Town, lives a rather poor life. At her home, Liu Chao asked her in detail about the production and life of her family, especially her children’s education, and wished her family could live a better life. Chen Youdeng, who lives in the Seventh Group of Zhangqiao Village, Badong Town, also lives a rather poor life. Liu Chao told relevant superintendents to improve the medical support and other policy safeguarding measures, and work hard to prevent the masses from becoming poor or becoming poor again because of sickness. “Have you prepared the goods for the Chinese New Year?” Liu Chao asked Chen Shunwen, a poor man who lives in the Fourth Group. Liu Chao visited his adobe house and asked him about how his family would be getting through the cold winter. Liu Chao felt reassured after knowing that for the sake of the support from the local party committee and the local government, his house would be rebuilt as soon as possible and his family would live in a new house.
The problem of sporadic poverty in Jinshi Town and Xiping Town is fairly typical. In recent years, the local authorities have taken a series of effective measures such as developing the local rattan pepper industry, renovating adobe houses and reducing poverty through having the people in need helped by the well-off, so as to solidly promote the work of poverty alleviation. Liu Chao visited the village committee, the resettlement sites for the people who lived in adobe houses, the local rattan pepper industrial base, and so on. He chatted with the people in need, the superintendents of the Party branch committee and the committee of villagers, to know about the improvement of the living environment, the establishment of grassroots party organizations, the construction of infrastructure projects, the supervision of poverty alleviation funds and the development of poverty alleviation industries. He discussed with them to analyze problems and find solutions for poverty alleviation.
Subsequently, Liu Chao held a symposium in Xiping Town to listen to reports on the work of poverty alleviation of Santai County and some townships. He pointed out that in recent years, Santai County has conscientiously implemented the decisions and deployments by the Party Central Committee, the provincial party committee and the municipal party committee on poverty alleviation. It has combined poverty alleviation with rural revitalization strategies, focused on improving infrastructure conditions, cultivating and developing local industries, and ensuring sustained and stable income growth of poor households. It has doubled multiple efforts and achieved effective results. It has explored the “three changes”, the breeding of “Golden Roosters” and other industrial poverty alleviation models, stimulated the endogenous motivation of the people in need, and enhanced the “hematopoietic capacity” of poverty-stricken areas. It has accumulated experience for solving the problem of sporadic poverty. It is well worthy of recognition.
Liu Chao stressed that the poverty-stricken population of Santai County accounts for half of Mianyang’s population which hasn’t got rid of poverty yet. The problem of sporadic poverty remains tough, and the goal of completing poverty alleviation on schedule is still heavy. Santai County should work harder and take precise measures to alleviate poverty. This year, the municipal party committee will shift the focus of poverty alleviation to the problem of sporadic poverty, coordinate resource elements, and focus on solving the problems of non-poor villages. It is necessary to attach great importance to and earnestly grasp the annual assessment, carefully investigate and fill the gaps, and do our best to alleviate poverty. It is necessary to strictly implement the policies of reducing the sporadic poverty and renovating adobe houses, and detail the implementation of specific measures, so as to enable the people in need to have the sense of gaining and the sense of happiness. It is necessary to speed up the cultivation and development of local industries, combine the implementation of rural revitalization strategies with poverty alleviation, vigorously develop local industries, actively explore and construct agricultural industrialization complexes such as “farmers plus cooperatives”, establish and improve the interest linkage mechanism for poor households, so as to drive more poor households to get rid of poverty completely and increase income constantly. We must continue to safeguard housing security, coordinate the promotion of relocating the people in need to new house and renovating dilapidated houses and adobe houses, ensure that the people in need can move to new houses and solve the follow-up problems, so that they can move out from their old houses to new ones, find new jobs and seek a better development. We must make sure that the people in need can get though the cold winter, organize and carry out visits and condolences such as “visiting the grassroots, solving problems, taking concrete actions, and benefiting the people’s livelihood”, and do everything possible to ensure that the people can have a warm winter and a peaceful Chinese New Year.
Liu Chao stressed that all localities and departments should take poverty alleviation as the biggest political responsibility, the biggest livelihood project, the biggest development opportunity. He said that we should conscientiously implement the decisions and deployments by the Central Party Committee, the provincial party committee and the municipal party committee on poverty alleviation, adhere to the combination of party building and poverty alleviation, and implement the mechanism of holding the party building accountable for poverty alleviation, so as to strengthen the cohesiveness, combat effectiveness and creativity of grassroots party organizations in poverty alleviation. Leading cadres at all levels must adhere to fulfill their own responsibilities, further pinpoint problems and take concrete actions. All the helpers must give full play to their own advantages and take precise measures to tackle poverty. They must earnestly fulfill their responsibilities and do their best to perform the first-line assistance work so as to ensure that the efforts to alleviate poverty can achieve tangible results.
Jing Dazhong, vice mayor, and the main superintendents of the Municipal Poverty Alleviation and Immigration Bureau, the Municipal Committee of Agriculture and Industry and the Municipal Transportation Bureau, also visited the poverty-stricken towns and villages of Santai County and delivered speeches at the symposium.
