Take many measures to ensure people’s livelihood.

Seven departments issued opinions to strengthen the supervision of pre-payment of old-age care institutions

Seven departments, including the Ministry of Civil Affairs, recently issued opinions to strengthen the supervision of pre-payment of pension institutions, requiring that the period of pre-payment of pension service fees should not exceed 12 months at the longest, that pre-payment fees should not be used for high-risk investments such as securities, and that deposits and membership fees should be managed by means of third-party depository of commercial banks and risk deposits to ensure the safety of funds.

The state has allocated a total of 11.5 billion yuan for special investment in work-for-relief projects.

The reporter learned from the National Development and Reform Commission that China has issued a special central investment of 11.5 billion yuan in 2024, which will attract 250,000 rural people who will drive the project to achieve local employment.

According to reports, the special investment of the central government for work relief is mainly invested in underdeveloped areas such as 832 poverty-stricken counties, and at the same time, it is tilted to North China, Northeast China such as Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei, which is seriously affected by heavy rains and floods, and Gansu and Qinghai provinces related to the Jishishan earthquake-stricken area, giving priority to attracting low-income people to participate in project construction.

Consolidate the harvest "bottom spirit"

According to the latest agricultural dispatch of the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs, at present, the summer grain harvest in Southwest China has reached 43.7%, with the progress being 1.4 percentage points faster than that of the same period last year. Among them, winter wheat has been harvested by 35.5%, and the progress is 1.3 percentage points faster than that of the same period last year.

Promoting "One Spray and Three Preventions" in Main Producing Areas to Promote Stable Production and Increase Production

At present, there are less than 20 days before the large-scale harvest of winter wheat in China, which is the key window period for implementing the technology of "one spraying and three prevention" to stabilize and increase production. The main producing areas should formulate technical plans according to local conditions, and make every effort to organize the "one spraying and three prevention" of wheat.

This year, for the first time, the central government fully allocated 1.6 billion yuan for "one spray and three defenses" in advance, leaving enough time for the implementation of policies and technical measures, effectively promoting stable wheat production and increasing production.

In the high-standard farmland of 10,000 mu of wheat in Guhe Street, Laixi, Shandong Province, the local agricultural machinery cooperative is jointly carrying out the operation of "one spray and three defenses". Wheat "one spraying and three prevention" is a technical measure to prevent disasters and increase production without disasters, which plays an important role in preventing diseases and pests at the ear stage, preventing premature aging of wheat, preventing dry-hot wind and ensuring stable and bumper harvest of wheat. In view of the short operation time and high technical requirements of "one spraying and three prevention" of wheat, Shandong Laixi Group sent capable technical force to carry out service guidance in time to ensure full coverage of spraying and prevention operations.

Bozhou, Anhui Province, relies on the Agricultural Machinery Cooperative to set up a spraying and control team in advance. In Shuanglou Village, Qiaocheng, the local agricultural machinery professional cooperative is spraying foliar fertilizer on wheat. Bozhou organized more than 500 agricultural technicians to guide households in Baocun to the field, focusing on implementing "one spray and three defenses" to ensure high yield and bumper harvest.

According to the dispatch of the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs, at present, under the instigation of the central financial subsidy funds, local governments at all levels have invested 1.59 billion yuan in the "one spraying and three prevention" subsidy funds, and the cumulative spraying operation area is 228 million mu, accounting for more than 60% of the winter wheat planting area.
