Lifted out of poverty
Print Edition
Nearly 130,000 people in southwest China’s Tibet Autonomous Region were lifted out of poverty in 2013, said the region’s chairman at the ongoing regional people’s congress.
Losang Jamcan said the number of people living in poverty fell from 585,000 to 457,000 last year. The percentage of people living in poverty in farming areas fell from 23.97 to 18.73 percent.
The region initiated more than 2,000 poverty alleviation projects in 2013, with outstanding government-subsidized loans for poverty alleviation purposes reaching more than 7 billion yuan (US$1.16 billion), he said.
Under a 2011 national standard, people with an annual income of less than 2,300 yuan are defined as poverty-stricken.
Tibet’s annual spending on education exceeded 10 billion yuan for the first time in 2013.
