What measures have been taken by the government to help the population of poor areas in the central and western regions to get rid of poverty

I. Further Liberalization of Policies

(1) On the premise of adhering to the public ownership of land, the masses should independently choose the most suitable form of business. In some places, the masses are willing to engage in self-employment for some production projects, which should be allowed.

(2) The contract period for arable land can be extended to thirty years. The transfer of contractual rights is permitted.

(3) Livestock may be distributed to households or valued at the household level, privately owned and privately raised, and allowed to slaughter and sell themselves.

(4) The grassy slopes of Geshan shall be subcontracted to households for long-term use.

(5) State enterprises and institutions (state-run forests, nature reserves, reservoirs, power stations, factories, etc.) in poor areas should handle the relationship with surrounding communities in the spirit of the principle of not competing with farmers for profits and appropriately benefiting the people. Reservoir power generation, water charges and aquaculture, forestry income within a certain period of time should be a certain percentage of the arrangement of reservoir immigrants to the production.

Where the state-owned enterprise units are unable to operate or operate very poorly in the mountains, water, mineral deposits, can be contracted to the farmers to operate, the proceeds of a certain percentage of the share; these units, such as the need for manpower, should be absorbed as much as possible from the surrounding rural areas, or the use of and around the farmers joint venture approach to make full use of the resources to increase the income of the farmers.

(6) where there are mineral resources, the relevant departments should be systematically demarcated lots, and actively organize local farmers to collect funds for mining, or by local people with outsiders to cooperate in mining. The miners should pay the required land resource utilization fees and abide by the relevant state laws and decrees.

(VII) more than twenty-five degrees of steep slopes of arable land in principle, should be gradually phased fallow, by the original cultivators of afforestation planting grass, who planted who have, long-term management, allowing inheritance.

II. Reducing the burden and giving concessions

(1) From 1985 onwards, the poor areas will be exempted from agricultural tax, depending on the situation. The most difficult ones will be exempted from agricultural tax for five years, and the less difficult ones will have their taxes reduced for one to three years.

(2) Encouraging foreigners to set up developmental enterprises (forest farms, livestock farms, power stations, mines, factories, etc.) in impoverished areas to be exempted from income tax for five years.

(3) Whether the income tax of township and village enterprises, farmers' joint enterprises, household factories, and individual traders will be reduced or exempted, as well as the magnitude and time of the reduction, shall be determined by the county people's governments themselves.

Timber felling should be carried out in accordance with the Forestry Law, and the local forestry administration should designate areas and issue licenses. Open the bamboo and wood market, allowing free sale, processing and wood for food for goods, some need to protect the drug resources, such as musk, eucalyptus, thick Park, licorice, etc., can only be designated to the purchase of the department of bargaining for sale, in order to protect the resources, the perpetual use.

(e) some of the lack of clothing and quilts in serious difficulties, by the commercial sector on credit to the appropriate amount of cloth (or clothing) and cotton flocculent, the need for mosquito nets on credit to mosquito nets. Credit loans are interest-free.

Three, revitalize the circulation of goods, accelerate the turnover of goods

Poverty-stricken areas should be the first to solve the road from the county to the township. We will strive to make most of the townships accessible to automobiles or horse-drawn carriages within five years. These roads by the state, the local, the masses *** with the funding of people to build. Labor for road construction can be organized by using surplus grain from stockpiles. The key construction funds collected by the State from road maintenance fees will be used to give a portion of the funds each year for five years to the transportation department as a special fund to help poor mountainous areas to build roads. Arrangements are made by the state material department to support the equipment needed for road construction. Roads below the townships are mainly privately run. Where there are conditions for water transportation, the government should actively repair rivers and develop water transportation. Actively develop transport specialists and transport cooperative organizations. Actively restore horse gangs, donkey gangs, ox gangs and other forms of transportation. Transportation departments at all levels should make practical planning on this matter.

We should rely on and support the local people to do a good job of buying and selling products, and let go of the development of collective and individual transportation and marketing industry. Where the people of mountainous areas require the sale of the city, the plains or foreign trade needs of the product, the state-run commercial, foreign trade, supply and marketing cooperatives should be timely acquisition, to open up sales outlets. It is necessary to help mountainous areas to increase storage and processing equipment, and try to turn mountainous products into commodities. Encourage and support places that have the conditions to set up hydropower and thermal power to solve the energy problem. Minority areas continue to implement trade preferential policies.

Four, increase intellectual investment

To pay attention to education in poor areas, increase intellectual investment. Planned development and popularization of primary education, focusing on the development of agricultural vocational education, accelerate the cultivation of a variety of talents adapted to the development of mountainous areas.

The scientific and technological, health work in mountainous areas should also have practical planning, all relevant departments should be centered on the goal of mountainous areas, take measures to gradually realize.

V. Strengthening Leadership

(1) The relevant provinces and autonomous regions should set up a leading group for the work in the poor mountainous areas, which is responsible for checking and supervising the implementation of various measures.

(2) The relevant departments of the state (including planning, agriculture, hydropower, forestry, commerce, transportation, machinery, metallurgy, coal, chemical industry, geology, materials, civil affairs, health, culture and education, finance, etc.) should designate special persons to be responsible for, respectively, to make a specific deployment to help the poor areas to change their appearance, and to carry out the work urgently to ensure that it is realized.

(3) The setting up of Party and government institutions at all levels in poor areas and their staffing should be based on practical considerations, with no emphasis on upward and downward counterparts, and with as much simplicity and convenience as possible.

(4) in the delineation of poverty-stricken areas, in addition to the appropriate increase in national investment, the departments under the hat to the poor areas of the county of the construction of the funds, the county government to make overall arrangements for the centralized use of production and construction projects of vital interest to the masses. Other burdens and apportionment of poor areas should be seriously rectified, the reduction of the reduction, the exemption of the exemption, the retention of the retention. The county to put forward the program, approved by the province to implement.

(E) of the decentralized insertion of poor villages, depending on the local financial situation, with reference to the spirit of this circular to gradually solve the problem.
