Take the construction of service-oriented government as an opportunity to strengthen the social management and public service functions of township governments. We should focus on four basic functions: promoting economic development, increasing farmers' income, strengthening public services, improving people's livelihood, strengthening social management, maintaining rural stability, promoting grassroots democracy and promoting rural harmony. Township workers should improve their ideological understanding, truly establish the concept of serving farmers, and effectively respond to farmers' needs for public services such as public security, medical and health care, education and culture, infrastructure and social security. Reform the current assessment system and strictly control the "one-vote veto" of township leaders. Instead of promoting local economic development and maintaining social stability, the main indicators for assessing township officials are to provide public services and strive to improve people's livelihood. Strengthen the power and financial power of rural grass-roots governments through local government legislation, and establish the necessary responsibility supervision mechanism combining top-down and bottom-up. Through institutional mechanism reform and management innovation, we will establish and improve grass-roots governance platforms and mechanisms to achieve orderly, legal and democratic governance of local governments. In view of the differences in local development, local governance should be given the necessary flexibility and autonomy. Explore the local governance system model that meets the requirements of local practice.
Improve and promote the system construction of grass-roots people's congresses.
Township People's Congress is an important part of the people's congress system, and it is a grass-roots organ of state power, which plays an important role in strengthening and improving the party's leadership and realizing the people's being the masters of the country. It is necessary to further improve the township people's congress elections, do real difference elections, curb and eliminate the chaos of "bribery elections" and "fake elections" in the elections, and let the people truly elect their satisfied representatives. Open elections will be held to change the opaque and irregular situation of candidates for deputies. Reform the structure of NPC deputies, increase the proportion of farmers' representatives and professionals, and restrict government personnel from participating in NPC deputies. It is necessary to establish performance standards, do well the duties of NPC deputies, realize the normalization and institutionalization of NPC deputies' contact with voters, keep close contact with voters, listen to their opinions and demands, and truly serve them. The time for deputies to the Township People's Congress and the Presidium of the National People's Congress to perform their duties should be extended from the meeting period to the intersessional period. For those representatives who fail to perform their duties for a long time or passively perform their duties, their representative qualifications should be revoked through legal procedures. At the same time, we should give full play to the supervision function of township people's congresses. At present, township people's congresses lack accountability and inquiry for officials, and must truly perform their supervisory duties in finance, personnel and proposal inquiry; Township People's Congress deputies exercise their power according to law through the Presidium of the National People's Congress, and exercise the right to recall government workers who have made major mistakes and are incompetent for their work.
The construction of township people's congress system must adhere to and improve the party's leadership over the work of the people's congress and improve the leadership style of township party committees over the work of the people's congress. All localities should, according to the actual situation, vigorously innovate the system of township people's congresses and realize various forms of people being masters of their own affairs. Constantly improve the system, strengthen self-construction, focus on improving the quality of representatives, and provide a strong guarantee for improving the ability to participate in and discuss state affairs.
Strengthening the construction of grass-roots community organizations, perfecting the system of villagers' autonomy, and implementing self-management, self-service, self-education and self-supervision by the masses in rural community governance, grass-roots public affairs and public welfare undertakings are important ways for the people to directly exercise their democratic rights according to law. First, improve the democratic system at the grass-roots level, improve the self-government mechanism of the grass-roots masses under the leadership of dynamic grass-roots party organizations, and improve the village committees and people's mediation, public security, health and family planning committees. Second, constantly improve the democratic management of village affairs, focusing on expanding orderly participation, promoting information disclosure, strengthening deliberation and consultation, and strengthening power supervision, broadening the scope and ways, enriching the content and form, and gradually establishing a village-level democratic supervision mechanism with clear powers and responsibilities, supporting facilities and effective operation to ensure that villagers enjoy more and more democratic rights. Conditional areas should scientifically define the regional scope of rural communities, clearly define their positioning, build a rural community organization system that meets the needs of building a new socialist countryside, and explore new ways to strengthen the construction of rural grassroots political power and improve villagers' autonomy in accordance with the principles of geographical proximity, moderate scale and voluntary participation of the masses. First of all, strengthen the supporting construction of village-level organizations with village party organizations as the core, and clarify the responsibilities of governments at all levels and their functional departments in rural community construction. Secondly, make clear the connection and difference between rural community construction and new rural construction, urban community construction, villagers' autonomy and community residents' autonomy, and explore different modes, working ideas and policy measures to promote rural community construction. Third, promote the extension of public services to rural areas. Actively promote the agency system for serving the people, improve the service mode, explore the mechanism to guide public services such as social assistance, social welfare, medical and health care, family planning, social security, science and technology education, culture and sports, labor security and legal services into rural communities, so that government public services can cover rural areas and explore effective measures to narrow the gap between urban and rural areas. Finally, develop mutual aid services in rural communities. Starting with solving the hot and difficult problems that farmers care about, taking community service centers or service stations as the foundation and voluntary service activities as the starting point, we will gradually extend community service to rural areas, explore ways and means to promote rural community service, organize and mobilize villagers and all sectors of society to participate in rural community service and community building activities, and explore an effective mechanism to guide social forces to participate in rural community building.
Cultivate and develop grass-roots social organizations and promote the transformation of local government functions
Actively cultivating and developing grass-roots social organizations is one of the key factors to realize the transformation of government functions. Only by guiding farmers to voluntarily establish various non-governmental community organizations and intermediary service organizations, and exploring and improving the leadership system, working mechanism and funding input mechanism of rural community construction can local governments continuously enhance the new vitality of rural community construction and rural governance. Farmers' cooperative is the basic subject to drive farmers into the market, a new subject to develop rural collective economy and an effective carrier to innovate rural social management. Encourage farmers to set up diversified multi-type cooperatives such as professional cooperation and stock cooperation, and gradually build a new agricultural management system that combines intensification, specialization, organization and socialization. It is necessary to develop community social organizations such as civil mediation, cultural entertainment, wedding and funeral councils in an orderly manner, and give play to the role of farmers in self-management, self-service, self-education and self-supervision. It is necessary to establish and improve the mechanism for safeguarding the rights and interests of the masses, improve the working systems of people's mediation, administrative mediation and judicial mediation, improve the legal aid system, promote the reform of letters and visits involving law-related litigation, and smooth and standardize the channels for expressing people's demands, coordinating interests and protecting rights.
