The historical background of the Spark Project

In the late 1970s, the reform of China's economic system took the lead in rural areas. The establishment of the household contract responsibility system inspired hundreds of millions of farmers to work hard to get rich, and brought about a major change in China's rural production relations. Since the 1980s, township industry has developed rapidly and the agricultural economy has been unprecedentedly active. The specialization and commercialization of agricultural production have made farmers increasingly aware of the importance of science and technology, thus creating a widespread demand and desire for science in rural areas. In March 1985, the Chinese government implemented the reform of the scientific and technological system nationwide, further clarifying the scientific and technological development policy that "economic construction must rely on science and technology, and scientific and technological work must be oriented to economic construction", providing scientific research institutes and scientific and technological workers with the opportunity to face the rural economy. The main battlefield provides opportunities to promote scientific and technological achievements to rural areas and help rural economies develop. China is a large agricultural country, with 80% of the population in rural areas. Solving the problems of agriculture, rural areas and farmers is the key to realizing China's modernization. Starting from this starting point, in compliance with the situation of national economic system reform and the needs of rural productivity development, in 1985 In May, the National Science and Technology Commission submitted a request to the State Council for "on a batch of short-term, mundane and fast science and technology projects to promote local economic revitalization", citing a Chinese proverb "A single spark can start a prairie fire" and was known as the "Spark Plan" ". It means that the spark of science and technology will surely burn all over China's rural land. In early 1986, the Chinese government approved the implementation of this plan.

The main tasks and goals of the Spark Plan

Conscientiously implement the Chinese government’s policy of vigorously strengthening agriculture and promoting the healthy development of township and village enterprises, guiding the adjustment of rural industrial structure, increasing effective supply, and promoting Science and education promote agriculture. Actively promote and actually promote the transformation of rural economic growth mode from extensive to intensive, rely on scientific and technological progress to improve labor productivity and economic benefits, and guide farmers to change their traditional production and lifestyle. Build a number of spark technology-intensive areas and regional pillar industries guided by science and technology; promote scientific and technological progress in key industries of township enterprises; promote economic development in western China, cultivate practical technical and management talents in rural areas, and improve the overall quality of rural workers.

The goal of the Spark Plan is to accelerate the process of rural industrialization, modernization and urbanization, improve the quality of life of farmers, promote the early realization of moderate prosperity in rural areas, and move towards the goal of a more affluent and civilized modern countryside.

The purpose of the Spark Plan

The Spark Plan is the first plan approved by the Chinese government to promote rural economic development based on science and technology. It is an important part of my country's national economic and scientific and technological development plan. components. Its purpose is: to introduce advanced and applicable technologies to rural areas, guide hundreds of millions of farmers to rely on science and technology to develop the rural economy, guide the scientific and technological progress of township enterprises, promote the improvement of the overall quality of rural workers, and promote the sustained, rapid and healthy development of agriculture and the rural economy. .
