In recent years, with the care and concern of the Party Central Committee and the support of the people across the country, Tibet has continued to make efforts from poverty alleviation to rural revitalization. More than 620 border villages have all been built into moderately prosperous villages, creating a magnificent picture of long-term peace and stability in the border areas and people living and working in peace and contentment.
Let’s work together to build a well-off border village in the new era.
Yumai Township, Longzi County, Shannan City, has developed from a remote border township with sparse population and backward infrastructure in the past to a well-off township with a dense population, access to electricity and prosperous industries. Beautiful new buildings are rising from the ground. Many farmers and herdsmen have also transformed their houses into family hotels to receive tourists and increase their economic income.
Suolang, the former first secretary of Yumai Village, Yumai Township, Longzi County: Our Yumai Township has taken on a new look in terms of education, tourism, and infrastructure. The villagers have a wider path to wealth, and the relationship between the military and civilians has deepened.
Every village has a new look, every village has a picture. The well-off villages on the Tibetan border in the new era are not only the epitome of the beautiful changes in the human settlement environment, but also a vivid portrayal of beautiful ecology, prosperous industries, happy people's livelihood, effective governance, solid party building, and stable border areas.
The ecology strengthens the border and the industry enriches the people.
In recent years, the Tibet Autonomous Region has thoroughly implemented the Party's strategy for governing Tibet in the new era, safeguarded the bottom line of ecological security, transformed ecological advantages into development advantages, and expanded border specialty industries in accordance with local conditions.
Walking into Gangba County, Shigatse City, with an average altitude of more than 4,700 meters, the vast plateau grassland stretches as far as the eye can see. The extremely high altitude and pollution-free natural pastures create the unique meat flavor of Gangba sheep. As a national geographical indication product, "Gangba Sheep" is a well-known "golden business card" of the local area. Relying on the standardized breeding model, "Gangba Sheep" has gone out of the mountains and become a delicacy on the tables of people everywhere.
Grand, secretary of the Party branch of Gongba Village: Our Gamba sheep has tender meat, delicious taste, and will not get angry after eating it. It is a green product from the plateau. Our cooperative currently has more than 8,300 sheep on hand, with an annual income of more than 4 million yuan.
The fertile soil of the plateau not only nourishes well-bred livestock, but also breeds special economic crops. In the Gongju planting base in Gangba County, relying on the plateau's abundant sunshine and pure water sources, the local area has introduced planting technology, built processing workshops, and extended the industrial chain to achieve integrated development of Gongju planting, harvesting, drying, and sales. The products are of excellent appearance, high quality, and sell well in the market.
In recent years, Gangsha Village in Purang County, Ngari Prefecture, Tibet, has continued to develop and expand the collective economy of the village by relying on the local cultural and tourism resources of the sacred Mount Kailash. It has explored a development path for mutual prosperity that combines the organizational structure of "branch + company + cooperative + herdsmen" with the working mechanism of "secretaries take the lead, party members demonstrate, and dedicated workers assist", and has embarked on a path of rural revitalization with unique plateau characteristics. In 2025, the village's collective income will exceed 30 million yuan, and the per capita income of villagers will reach 25,000 yuan. Gangsha Village has grown into the "No. 1 collective economy village" in the Ali region.
From grazing on pastures to growing chrysanthemums on plateaus, the characteristic planting and breeding industry continues to improve quality and efficiency. On the one hand, border culture and tourism are gaining popularity, and on the other hand, characteristic agriculture and animal husbandry are steadily increasing income. The two-way empowerment of the cultural tourism industry and specialty farming will continue to broaden the channels for people to increase their income and continue to consolidate the foundation for the revitalization of border villages.
