Since 2012, when President Xi was holding the charge as
Country’s Vice-President he had approved a number of welfare projects on the
recommendations of the local party head Mr. He Shunping of Xingguo county in
Ganzhou, Jiangxi province.
Now people even at the county level have uninterrupted
electricity, well equipped schools, clinics, internet and even houses for old
and retired service people, a senior local government official said
.
He pointed out that under a policy, farmers were provided
new homes for which major chunk of money was arranged by the banks on the
instructions of the government on very nominal interest rate.

homes, as in old homes, life was miserable especially during monsoon season
when we were constrained to live in mud-home where water used to creep from
roof and walls,” Wu Guanghuang, a 78-year old farmer of Xinfeng county in
Ganzhou, said who had fortunately survived from the massive flooding that
inundated his muddy house built within his field of tobacco crop.
