Talent is the key to the revitalization of rural areas. In recent years, Dangtu County has adhered to the concept of "rural revitalization, talent first", and through accurate talent introduction, fine cultivation and meticulous use of talents, let the talent "golden seed" "break the ground" on the fertile soil of rural revitalization. At present, the total number of rural talent resources in Dangtu County has reached more than 12,000 people, and the per capita disposable income of rural residents has ranked first in the province for 18 consecutive years.
Planting sycamore trees attracts phoenixes
In the early morning of the countryside in late autumn, the breeze is a little cool. In the vegetable planting base in the northeast corner of the labor village in Huangchi Town, Dangtu County, Wu Jun, the leader of the national rural youth entrepreneurship and prosperity, led the farmers to pick high-pole cabbage early in the morning, and this 1,200-mu steel frame greenhouse can bring more than 25 million yuan of income to more than 400 villagers every year.
After years of hard work, Wujun's vegetable base has cultivated and promoted 20 new varieties, obtained 18 invention patents, and the products are not only supplied to Major Cities such as Nanjing, Shanghai, Hefei, but also exported to Japan and South Korea. "I was a local, and I went out to be a soldier in my early years. After retiring from the army, he saw the generous talent attraction policy in his hometown, so he returned to his hometown and founded the Huangchi Vegetable Production and Marketing Professional Cooperative to do something practical for the villagers. Wu Jun said with a smile. He encouraged the surrounding villagers to use land, funds, and labor to invest in shares or enter the base to work, leading the villagers to increase their income and become rich together.
In Dangtu, there are many "capable people" like Wu Jun who return to their hometowns, which not only brings funds and projects to the village, but also injects new vitality into the revitalization of the countryside. The "generous" talent policy that attracts them to return to their hometowns is the "Opinions on Encouraging Well-known People From Outside Dangtu To Support the Revitalization of Rural Areas in Their Hometowns" issued by Dangtu County in recent years. The opinions closely follow the needs of rural talents, in view of the shortage of industrial, scientific and technological and compound talents in rural areas, according to academic qualifications, professions, professional titles, work experience, technical patents, etc., to carry out graded grading, formulate a "package" of 26 support policies, provide generous funds and treatment conditions, and have attracted more than 1,000 local outstanding talents to return to Dangtu.
Build a reservoir and cultivate "new farmers"
Recently, The Dangtu County Rural Revitalization College welcomed more than 100 newly elected village party organization secretaries to carry out a six-day training here. Different from the traditional teaching methods in the past, the first stop of the students came to the Golden Pastoral Complex in Moat Town, and improved their ability to bring wealth through expert "hand-in-hand" teaching.
"Rural revitalization should not only 'build nests and attract phoenixes', pay attention to high-end agricultural talents, but also 'store living water', and attach importance to incubation soil experts and Tian Xiucai." Zhu Bin, head of the county's rural revitalization college, said. Dangtu County broke the traditional urban school construction and classroom teaching mode of running a school, docked with Ma'anshan College, the Provincial Academy of Agricultural Sciences and other platforms, prepared 13 open town (village) rural revitalization colleges, built the college in the countryside, the classroom is located in the field, through menu-based course selection, modular group courses, tailor-made training, and create a new talent cultivation model that directly combines theory and practice. Since its establishment, the college has undertaken 21 training courses inside and outside the county and trained more than 1,000 rural talents.
Not only do government departments organize training, But Also Dangtu County encourages farmers' professional cooperatives, leading enterprises and other entities to undertake training functions, establish internship training and entrepreneurial incubation bases in colleges and universities, create a new type of education and training system of "specialized institutions, multi-resource market entities", and open up a "through train" for industry-university-research exchanges and cooperation.
"We have established a 'small institute of science and technology' on a pilot basis in Taibai Town, and have carried out long-term cooperation with China Agricultural University, China Academy of Agricultural Sciences and other colleges and universities to provide students with practice bases." Zhu Bin said. "Experts and professors from colleges and universities often come to volunteer teaching, cultivating more than 20 entrepreneurial leaders at or above the provincial level for us, and becoming the backbone of promoting rural revitalization."
Play the resource card well and play the game of revitalization
Dangtu County has always been the hometown of fish and rice in Jiangnan, with a long river network and fertile land, and is a traditional agricultural county. However, the abundant resources have also brought some problems, and the industrial homogenization of some villages and towns is serious, the lack of brand and main body drive, and the efficiency is not high.
In order to solve such problems, Dangtu County formulated and issued the "Implementation Opinions on Promoting the Strategy of Rural Revitalization", set up special funds, established a guidance system for experts and professors of colleges and universities and scientific research institutes to "hang up their posts", formed an industrial development service group, formulated a "one town, one product" development plan for townships according to the differences in township resource endowments, built a differentiated agricultural industry system such as river crabs, grapes, and rice, and promoted the close integration of resources with talents, funds and the market, and enhanced market competitiveness.
"Dalong Town used to focus on traditional rice planting for a long time, and the efficiency was not high, and the enthusiasm of farmers was not strong. Later, the county set up an industrial development service group, in view of the advantage that Dalong has a sandy soil rich in trace elements and good drainage, after repeated deliberation, the policy orientation for the development of the grape industry was determined. Yan Aiping, director of the Agricultural Service Center of Dalong Town, Dangtu County, introduced. At present, Dalong Town has more than 80 high-quality vineyards and a grape planting area of more than 4,000 mu, which has become a pillar industry for the people of Dalong to increase their income and become rich, and is known as the "hometown of grapes".
With the direction of industrial development, funds must also keep up. Dangtu County took the opportunity of party building to lead the construction of credit villages, and joined hands with 15 financial institutions to form a "party building financial alliance" to provide "a la carte" financing credit services for the development of rural industries, and has accumulated 520 million yuan of credit and 122 million yuan of credit, solving the shortage of funds for 1,070 farmers and 82 new agricultural business entities.
