Practical projectsimprove the lives of local residents
Print Edition
In the first 10 months this year, Jiading District’s government has completed 22 practical projects to improve living conditions for local residents.
This year it plans to complete 28 such projects.
So far the district has created 27,239 new jobs, implemented pesticide residue checks at 67 wet markets, added 120 beds for the care of the elderly, and set up eight footpaths and two gyms with affordable prices.
These facilities and improvements have accelerated economic transformation and improved the quality of life for residents.
“My dream of finding a job locally has been realized,” said a resident surnamed Qian in Anting Town.
Journey to work
Qian graduated from Hunan Institute of Science and Technology last year and was recruited by a private Customs clearance agent company in downtown Shanghai. But her journey to work was a long one and she hoped to find a job nearer her home.
With the help of an adviser from the district vocational service, Qian landed a job as a cashier at an automobile component company.
District-wide, by the end of September, 24,961 unemployed people had received vocational training, 56 percent more than the annual target. The number of registered unemployed, meanwhile, dropped to 5,980, below the government’s target of 7,600.
Food safety
To secure food safety, Jiading listed pesticide residue checks at wet markets as a practical project in its annual government plan.
At Yumin Wet Market in Jiading Industrial Zone, workers collected dozens of vegetables at random and checked pesticide levels at 6am on October 31.
Half an hour later, the results were displayed on LCD screens with all the samples meeting the national standard.
Market officials said that if levels exceeded the national standard, the vegetables would be removed from stands and destroyed.
By the end of October, 4,889 residents had benefited from the district’s medical relief program, saving expenses of some 297,000 yuan (US$48,705).
Xu Zhengzhang, one of the patients helped by the program, said his bill for monthly dialysis had been cut by 542 yuan to 362 yuan.
