To make up for deficiencies in rural areas can not stop at solving recent worries.

Infrastructure construction is not only a deficiency in the development of poverty-stricken areas, but also a key investment area of accurate poverty alleviation funds. If only in terms of poverty alleviation work, raising funds to make up for deficiencies in a targeted way is indeed "accurate drip irrigation"; but if we look at the overall situation of the work, regardless of the differences in village conditions, all poor villages spend the same money on the same thing, it is a new kind of "flood irrigation". The planning of rural areas, especially poor areas, should also be classified in detail according to the development trend and specific village conditions, use the thinking of running cities for long-term planning, and ensure that a blueprint is drawn to the end.

Recently, in the process of interviewing accurate poverty alleviation, the author saw such a phenomenon: many places made great efforts to build roads, water, and houses for poor villages, winning praise from the masses. But there are hidden worries behind the joy. In recent years, a large number of rural people have gone out to work, forming many hollow villages. If a huge amount of money is invested in construction today, will it not be a waste for people to go to the village tomorrow?

This also reminds the author that a few years ago, a county magistrate said that in order to improve the conditions for running schools in rural areas, he spent three or four years integrating funds from all sides to build new classrooms for rural primary schools throughout the county, but after it was built, he found that many schools had no students-a large number of rural students went to the city to study with their working parents, and the newly built classrooms became idle rooms.

In fact, these two events reflect a problem, that is, rural development requires long-term planning. The construction of infrastructure such as roads, water, electricity and housing is not only the deficiency of the development of poor villages and even rural areas, but also the key investment areas of accurate poverty alleviation funds. If we only look at poverty alleviation work, it is indeed "accurate drip irrigation" to raise funds to make up for the shortcomings of infrastructure; but if we look at the overall situation of work in a place, regardless of the differences in village conditions, it is a new kind of "flood irrigation" for all poor villages to spend the same money on the same thing.

There are generally two reasons for this new "flood irrigation". From an objective point of view, infrastructure construction needs a certain amount of time from planning, construction to completion and operation, and the development in many places is a dynamic process. After some projects were designed and put into operation according to the original needs, the local development has taken on a new look, some can no longer meet the development needs, while others exceed the actual needs. From a subjective point of view, many places give more consideration to the local and immediate benefits that are easily reflected in figures, such as coverage rate, household intake rate, and patency rate, and less evaluation of the long-term and comprehensive benefits brought by the implementation of the project. the development of rural areas is also easy to be considered in isolation, lack of long-term planning and design for the integration of urban and rural areas.

In fact, the planning of rural areas, especially poor areas, should also be classified in detail according to the development trend and the specific village conditions, use the thinking of running cities for long-term planning, and ensure that a blueprint is drawn to the end. We should not only take into account the stage of development, based on the current shortcomings, look at the long-term trend, but also take into account the development model, there are universal support, but also according to the village policy.

On the one hand, it is necessary to make up for deficiencies in rural areas and build a well-off society in an all-round way. Without a well-off society in rural areas, especially in poor areas, a well-off society will not be built in an all-round way. In the next few years, the development of many poor areas will be divided into two steps, that is, getting rid of poverty and being well-off. Although the two are different stages, there are many intersecting points. For example, the income of the masses can be gradually supported and raised through policies and measures at different levels, while the development of infrastructure construction and other aspects can be considered as a whole to strive for one-step construction in place, so as to avoid being built in accordance with poverty alleviation standards today. two years later, it was demolished and built in accordance with the well-off standard.

On the other hand, it is necessary to make up for the shortcomings of rural areas and the new type of urbanization as a whole. During the 13th five-year Plan period, China will further promote a new type of urbanization with people as the core, realize the settlement of about 100 million agricultural transferred population and other permanent residents in cities and towns, and guide about 100 million people to urbanization in the central and western regions. Therefore, in terms of infrastructure investment, it is also necessary to establish and improve the system and mechanism for the integration of urban and rural development, and focus the development of social undertakings on rural areas with a more mature degree of development and cities and towns with more agricultural transfer population. For "hollow villages", it is necessary to analyze the population flow in advance, do a good job in population transfer in an orderly manner, and provide protection for the transition stage, so as to avoid the pursuit of across-the-board investment in coverage figures.

Investment in rural infrastructure construction, especially accurate poverty alleviation funds, every penny is hard to come by, and we must ensure that good steel is used on the cutting edge. Because, to make up for the shortcomings is as important as improving the efficiency of funds.
