Agriculture is an important sector in the regional economy, and a large percentage of the population in the country are engaged in agriculture. Therefore, to change the rural communities is of great significance in letting them build up their own forces and potentials strong enough to achieve steady and sustainable development of their regions.

To raise the level of ideological awareness of agricultural workers and their cultural and technical level is an important undertaking for preparing them to be responsible for transforming their villages and areas.

Only when agriculture is developed rapidly can regional-industry factories be fully provided with raw materials and the purchasing power of agricultural workers be increased to give full play to the vitality of the regional development policy for improving the material life of the regional people.

When agricultural production is put on a scientific, IT and intensive basis and the material and technical foundations of the countryside are steadily consolidated to bring about the sustainable development of agricultural production, a new era of development of the socialist countryside can be ushered in and the economic links between regional industry and agriculture be strengthened to revitalize and develop the regional economy.

To radically change the appearance and environment of rural communities is an important political work to usher in an era in which regions undergo changes.
