People are diligent and spring comes early. On the afternoon of February 18, in the group discussion of the provincial high-quality development conference "Science and technology empowerment, industrial support, and full promotion of the 'Millions of Projects' to achieve new results", representatives from ** departments, think tanks, universities, and enterprises shared their experiences on how to promote the "Millions of Projects" with high quality in Guangdong. 12 projects were signed on site, covering 9 investment projects with a total investment of 11 billion yuan, 3 assistance projects with a donation amount of 17.2 billion yuan.
On the first day of the Year of the Dragon, the "number one project" burst into new vitality, which is undoubtedly an exciting signal. In the past year, Guangdong's "Ten Million Project" has made a good start, and the per capita disposable income of rural residents has increased by 65%, strong counties promote towns and villages in full swing; Entering the critical year of promoting the comprehensive deepening of the "Millions and Millions Project", how can the high-quality development of counties, towns and villages accelerate?
Science and technology empowerment and industrial support are Guangdong's firm answers to this question. As Huang Kunming, Secretary of the Guangdong Provincial Party Committee, said at the conference, we must take the lead in reaching the level of a moderately developed economy and taking the lead in entering the forefront of innovative economies. When the clarion call for high-quality development sounded again in the land of southern Guangdong, Guangdong must seize the opportunity of the wave of science and technology, find the right incision, and make industrial scientific and technological innovation the most powerful support for the "Millions of Projects".
It is necessary to strengthen the empowerment of science and technology. If science and technology are prosperous, agriculture will be prosperous, and if science and technology are strong, agriculture will be strong. The latest data shows that in 2023, the contribution rate of agricultural science and technology progress in the province will exceed 72%, ranking among the top in the country. Farming can be fully automated, the gold content of agricultural products has increased, and the sales model of agriculture has also changed ......More and more new agricultural varieties, new technologies, new products, new models and new skills have entered the fields, and scientific and technological innovation has accelerated the transformation and upgrading of modern agriculture in Guangdong. Towards a newer future, Guangdong still needs to speed up basic agricultural research and original innovation, further play a leading role in science and technology, and consolidate the agricultural chassis.
It is necessary to strengthen industrial support. Enriching the people and rejuvenating the village, industry first. At present, many counties in Guangdong Province support the development of characteristic industries in rural areas according to local conditions, but the problems of slow economic growth, small total volume and low development level are still prominent, and it is necessary to further strengthen industrial support and do a good job in long-term planning for industrial development. This year's provincial work report clearly proposes to build agriculture into a modern industry, do a good job in "native products" articles, develop characteristic planting and breeding, forest economy, cultivate prefabricated vegetable industry, develop agricultural production trusteeship socialized services, accelerate the upgrading of the whole chain of rural industries, and promote the construction of rural industrial belts.
It is necessary to strengthen the leadership of talents. To promote industrial scientific and technological innovation, talent is the key. This year's No. 1 document makes it clear that the implementation of the rural revitalization talent support plan, increase the cultivation of local talents in rural areas, and orderly guide all kinds of urban professional and technical talents to serve in the countryside. In recent years, Guangdong has continued to innovate the cultivation method, and took the lead in the country to carry out the evaluation of the professional titles of rural craftsmen, so that "soil experts" and "Tian Xiucai" continue to stand out, and at the same time, through the expansion and upgrading of the "three branches and one support" project, it actively guides college graduates and various professionals to start businesses in rural areas, injecting "fresh blood" into rural revitalization.
The posture of Lingnan is the posture of struggle. Since last year, all parts of Guangdong have been working hard to catch up in the development of county-level industries, the improvement of township energy levels, the construction of beautiful villages, and the construction of green and beautiful counties. Starting from the new spring, Guangdong will once again sprint at the start, continuously improve the development of "gold content", "green content" and "new content", and make every effort to promote the "Millions and Thousands Project" to achieve greater results and "fight" a better Guangdong.
