Zhejiang's economy has developed rapidly in recent years, but it is still unbalanced. For example, there are more than 20 economically underdeveloped counties in the province, and the per capita annual income in these areas is below 3,000 yuan; Judging from the travel conditions, Zhejiang is known as "seven mountains, two waters and one field", and the problem of farmers' travel difficulties still exists. At present, there are still 1083 administrative villages in the province without access roads, which brings certain difficulties to agricultural efficiency and farmers' income. So in 2003, Zhejiang Province decided to implement the "Rural Prosperity Project". It is planned to invest 654.38+04 billion yuan in five years to rebuild 50,000 kilometers of rural roads, so that 35.026 million farmers in the province will take to asphalt roads and cement roads.
Subsidy standard
1. Tongxiang Highway Provincial Subsidy Standard
Tongxiang Highway newly built (rebuilt) subgrade is subsidized by 250,000 yuan per kilometer, and pavement is subsidized by 6,543,800 yuan per kilometer.
2. Provincial subsidy standard for Tongcun Highway
(1) subsidy per kilometer for subgrade reconstruction and pavement paving of Tongcun Highway in 8 poverty-stricken counties1.20,000 yuan;
(2) 17 economically underdeveloped counties, 5 island counties, 3 old revolutionary counties, and 25 counties (cities, districts) are subsidized by 654.38+million yuan per kilometer for subgrade reconstruction and pavement laying;
(3) Subgrade reconstruction and pavement paving of Tongcun Highway in other counties (cities, districts) totaled 6.5438+0.6 million yuan per kilometer; Subgrade and pavement single transformation, subsidy of 80 thousand yuan per kilometer. (The national debt fund project is implemented according to the subsidy standard of the State Planning Commission).
When the actual construction and installation cost of a project is less than the total amount of project subsidy funds, subsidies will be given according to the actual situation; If the pavement is sub-advanced, the pavement subsidy standard shall be appropriately reduced, and the intermediate and below pavements shall not be subsidized.
3. Tongxiang Highway refers to the highway where the county (city) level government is located or the nearest administrative level highway leads to the township (town) government; Tongcun Highway refers to the highway leading to the administrative village where the township (town) government is located or the nearest administrative grade highway. Lianxiang and Liancun networking roads are not within the scope of subsidies for rural projects.
The "Village-to-Village Communication Project" has set the goal of building 50,000 kilometers of rural roads within five years. By 2007, the village coverage rate of provincial highways (quasi-Grade 4 and above) will reach over 90%, and the hardening rate of service roads will reach over 80%. Among them, Jiaxing, Huzhou, Ningbo, Zhoushan and other cities have fully realized the classification and pavement hardening of Tongcun Highway; In Hangzhou, Shaoxing, Taizhou, Jinhua and other cities, the grading rate of Tongcun Highway is over 95%, and the hardening rate of Tongcun Highway is over 85%. In Quzhou, Wenzhou, Lishui and other cities, the grade rate of Tongcun Highway has reached over 85%, and the hardening rate of Tongcun Highway has reached over 50%. By then, 35,000 of the province's 38,000 administrative villages will be connected to grade highways without damaging the natural environment. After investing 654.38+04 billion yuan, the number of farmers who directly benefited was 65.438+05 million, and the per capita income was about 654.38+0000 yuan. It indirectly benefited 30 million people, with a per capita income of more than 500 yuan. It can be seen how much change this investment has brought to farmers!
The rural prosperity project is a popular project, and whether the project can be implemented and completed as planned is what the people are most concerned about. Now it is 2006, and the project will expire in another year. How is the project going? So far, how many people have begun to enjoy the benefits of this project? What are the problems in the project process?
I found some information on the internet and personally investigated some areas, and reached the following conclusions and opinions. Take the rural highway construction in Xinchang County of Shaoxing City as an example: there are 777 administrative villages in Xinchang, with a total investment of 79,765,438+10,000 yuan in 2005. Xinchang county road works 1, 0 1, of which 29 were newly built and 72 were rebuilt, increasing the coverage rate of every village 10.30%. While seeing gratifying achievements, we also see some existing problems.
1. The number of new roads is obviously less than that of rebuilt roads. Is it because all the rural areas in the county have access roads? Don't! The reality is that there are still many poor villages in the top 100 counties without access. Then why is this happening? First of all, the macro objective reason is that there are more villages with access than those without access in the county, so the base of access reconstruction is larger than that of new construction. Secondly, there are subjective and objective reasons. There is a saying: if rural areas want to develop, they must first access! Many rural areas have long been connected with highways, although it may be Shashi Road, but after all, the transportation is convenient, so these villages that have been connected with highways use transportation to facilitate rapid economic development, and then the villagers' thinking angle will continue to improve, that is, their thinking will become active; In rural areas without access, due to inconvenient transportation, villages have not been able to develop forward, and even some villages have begun to age, which restricts the education level and thinking angle of villagers to a certain extent. As soon as the project started, the difference between the former and the latter appeared: ① The former has many sources of information and can know the government's policies very early, while the latter has narrow sources of information, so many rural areas with inconvenient transportation can't access cable TV at the same time, so the latter often can't know in time after a policy comes out. This indirectly affects the phenomenon that there are more renovations than new ones. (2) The former has better economic conditions, so the education level of villagers will be higher than the latter, which also affects the ability of village cadres in a village. As soon as the preferential policies come out, the villagers and cadres of the former will take various measures, such as inviting guests to dinner, networking and so on, and because of these measures, their demands will often be taken care of by the above; The villagers and cadres of the latter often show "indifference" after receiving the information, or more accurately, they don't know where to start. Third, policy deviation is misleading. The subsidy standard of rural well-off project distinguishes between region and project scale. Less developed counties have more subsidies than developed counties, and large projects have more subsidies than small projects. In fact, there are some very poor rural areas in developed counties that urgently need government subsidies; Although rural areas with small quantities of work need government subsidies more than rural areas with large quantities of work; New roads need more money than road hardening. However, the policy is just the opposite, with more reconstruction than new construction.
2. The project completion time is not balanced. Almost the same workload can be completed in one year in some villages and several years in others. The main reason for this situation is the problem of funds. Even with the spirit of the foolish old man moving mountains, expressway can't be built without funds. As far as our neighboring village is concerned, the highway was surveyed several years ago and a groundbreaking ceremony was held, but it was delayed due to lack of funds. In this way, I have been walking for many years. After the village leaders ran around collecting money, they collected enough last year. After the construction starts, the service road will be completed in September this year after one year. Moreover, our village also conducted a survey in July this year. As for when you can visit, no one can say for sure. Everything depends on whether there is enough money. According to the standard, the subsidy for subgrade reconstruction is 80,000 yuan per kilometer, and the road in our village is 2.6 kilometers. Therefore, the government's appropriation of 208,000 yuan, about 300,000 yuan, plus the economic income of our village and donations from villagers, is far from enough for millions of projects. So the villagers all said that according to this situation, it will take many years for this road in our village to be completed. The best way now is to spend a little money to repair a section of the road until it reaches the access road. However, in a small village like ours, there have been no entrepreneurs and government personnel in the village since the village was built, so no entrepreneurs are willing to fund it, and they have not been able to apply for more funds from the government through government relations. So the road to transportation in our village is very long. This situation not only exists in our village, but also is a typical representative of all poor villages. In addition, the standard of roadbed and pavement hardening in rural areas is also 80 thousand yuan per kilometer. So there is a problem: villages that apply for road hardening often have the ability to harden their own roads, but these villages are often more willing to do this project, because the completion of this project has brought benefits to the villagers and private profits to some people. At the same time, villages with new roads are short of funds. Ask, if you have 100 yuan for one of the two people who ask you for money, one is hungry for several days and needs a full meal, and the other wants your money to improve his recent food because he hasn't eaten meat for a long time. If it were you, who would you give it to? Of course, for ordinary people, the answer is very clear, that is, give the money to those who are hungry for a lot of food. From another perspective, road hardening and road construction are very similar to the above problems. Villages with new roads are like people who are hungry for a lot of food, villages with hard roads are like people who need to improve food, and entrepreneurs and the government are like people who want to give two money. Therefore, when formulating subsidy standards, rural projects need to be purposefully tilted to projects that need more funds, which is also the deficiency of rural projects.
The rural prosperity project is a popular project. Although it has brought great changes to farmers and rural areas, funds are limited and farmers' demand for government help is unlimited. Therefore, these funds have to be used in the cutting edge, and these funds should be given priority to those projects that farmers need most, bringing greater benefits to farmers.
Marriage in the countryside [original]
In the early years, most of the people who married in the village were locals, but about ten years ago, life in other villages began to get better, and people's views changed. They were no longer willing to marry their daughters in a poor village like ours, and the road was blocked. Because men in rural areas have less contact with the outside world and know few local girls, it is even more impossible to talk about marriage through love. Under such circumstances, from now on, men of marriageable age in the village can only be extended to the western rural areas where living conditions are more difficult than ours-Yunnan and Guizhou. The first group of people came back with their wives and started a new life. After some time, they all lived a good life. With the first batch, there will be the second batch and the third batch. ...
Later, primitive people went home by themselves, took women there, introduced them to local unmarried men, and soon got married. (it's not nice to say, many of them are equivalent to selling. If a woman marries a man, just give her a few thousand dollars and everything will be fine. But because it is consensual, it does not belong to trafficking in women). Many years have passed, and there is no boundary in the village, but the problem of bachelor has been solved. Now, except for two children born in recent years, the mothers of more than ten other children are all westerners. Marriage without love is often unstable, and once marriage breaks down, it is often poor and sensible children who are injured. In recent years, two consecutive women in the village left their husbands and children and ran away with other men shortly after giving birth. In this way, the original beautiful family suddenly became incomplete. It is said that the reason why these two women go with others is that they feel that the conditions at home are not good and the village is too poor to get through. Indeed, when many of us are looking for someone, when others ask: Is there a expressway in your village? People in our village can only answer truthfully with insufficient confidence. If you are dishonest, the answer is: "Our village is on the road." Indeed, the road is at the foot of the mountain, but it doesn't reach the village. But I really don't know when I can confidently answer: "The cement road is at the entrance to the village!" "
I have climbed many mountains and visited many scenic spots, but the scenery of our village makes me most cordial, not only because this land has nurtured me, but also because the village is really beautiful. Going to school by mountain road since childhood, facing the morning sun, stepping on dew and singing birds; After the rain, the mountains are shrouded in mist, just like a fairyland. At that time, I felt lucky to grow up in such a beautiful place. Although it is beautiful, although the wine is not afraid of the depth of the kiln, due to traffic problems, the tourists here are only our villagers themselves. I really hope that one day there will be many strange faces here. They all appreciate the beauty here and travel here.
