On October 18, a press conference was held in Lhasa to discuss the current status of village work by officials in Tibet. It was revealed that the Tibet Autonomous Region has deployed a total of 275,000 officials to villages, investing over 20 billion yuan in the process. As a result, 5,594 villages continue to benefit from these efforts.
Nan Pei, Deputy Minister of the Organization Department of the Tibet Autonomous Region, emphasized that the region is committed to three key principles: maintaining a consistent approach to village work, ensuring full coverage across all villages and communities, and having work teams stationed directly in these areas. He noted that the deployment rate of work teams from central government units assigned to assist relocated villages has reached 100 percent, as has the deployment rate from city and county levels to key supported towns and villages. Additionally, work team leaders from autonomous region units are fully deployed to support counties that host these key towns.
Tibet provides living subsidies ranging from 70 to 120 yuan per person per day based on the type of village or community. The government also offers pre-departure health checks, provides first aid kits, allocates transportation funds of 50,000 yuan, and ensures a 600,000 yuan group accident insurance policy is in place. Furthermore, policies are adapted according to elevation differences, and measures have been introduced to enhance the living and working conditions for officials, including heating and oxygen supply in work areas, as well as improvements to dining and bathing facilities. A remote medical service project is also being implemented to ensure the overall health of stationed officials.
Wang Guofu, a second-level inspector at the Organization Department, shared that since the arrival of over 22,000 officials in the thirteenth batch, they have prioritized a “Hundred Days of Village Visits and Surveys” initiative. Many officials have opted to forego rest days to remain on duty, visiting 807,000 households and resolving over 18,000 urgent community issues, earning widespread appreciation from local farmers and herders. The stationed officials are focused on revitalizing agricultural and pastoral areas, enhancing agricultural productivity, and increasing farmers’ and herders’ wealth. They have organized labor exports for 144,100 individuals, assisted in the application of 511 industrial projects, secured 210 million yuan in funding, and helped 74 collective village economies turn deficits into profits.
