Recently, there have been rumors on the Internet that starting from 2024, the village party secretary and village director will be abolished in the countryside, and the affairs of the village collective will be directly managed by the higher-level department. At that time, when I heard the news, it attracted a lot of attention in the village. Many villagers are asking if this news is true.
Actually, I mentioned this rumor before. This is a deviation in the understanding of national policy by some people. In 2019, the state issued opinions on the integrated development of village collectives. Among them, some reforms have been made in the management of rural areas, and the document points out that in rural areas, the village party secretary and village director should be served by one person, that is, what we call "one shoulder". Through the concentration of work and responsibility, a person can have the power of leadership, finance, and management to the greatest extent.
1. What is "one shoulder"?
The so-called "shoulder-to-shoulder" is a kind of image metaphor, a person picks up a burden. At one end of this burden is "the work of the village party secretary", and the other end is "the work of the village director". After such reforms, one person is working for two people. At the same time, the decision-making power of the village is also concentrated. This approach is very different from the previous management.
Second, after the implementation of "one shoulder", what are the benefits?
There are still a lot of benefits here, mainly in the following aspects:
1. It is conducive to the unity of decision-making. Now that one person has held two important positions, a high degree of unity can be achieved in the arrangement of work matters and the implementation of policies. In this way, it was avoided that the previous village party secretary and village director could not implement the policy because of their opinions.
2. It is conducive to accountability。When sufficient power is given, it is also necessary to strengthen the regulation of power. In the past, two people made decisions, and after a problem arose, there was always a situation of passing the buck to each other. This is certainly not conducive to the division of responsibilities. Now, after one person takes on two positions, what problems arise is the main responsibility of the leader.
3. It is conducive to the stability of personnel. After the implementation of "one shoulder", the treatment of almost all village party secretaries has been greatly improved. In this way, the remuneration of the village party secretary can be guaranteed, and the change of the village party secretary can be greatly stabilized.
4. It is conducive to the development of the village. In fact, it can be said that after the implementation of "one shoulder" in rural areas, the internal friction within the organization has been greatly reduced. Under the leadership of one person, everyone can have a clearer direction of work, and they can also work together to make the development of the village better.
3. Broaden the selection of outstanding talents.
After the realization of "one shoulder", the situation of no one in the village cadres has been greatly changed. Especially in the recruitment of talents, "shoulder-to-shoulder" has attracted many young people to return to their hometowns. On the one hand, we will stabilize personnel by improving their salaries. On the other hand, through the concentration of power, the ideas of young people can be realized. However, under such circumstances, there are still many villages where village cadres are not fully equipped.
Through this, we can also see that it is unlikely that the village cadres will be completely abolished. The country has made clear the importance of rural development, and naturally there needs to be enough people to realize our dream of revitalization. Under such circumstances, the selection of village cadres will become more and more stringent.
Summary:
Rural revitalization is a long-term development path, which is constantly realized under continuous change and improvement. Therefore, even if the "one shoulder" is implemented now, it will be more perfect with the changes of the times.
