College students going to the countryside refers to "culture, science and technology, health" going to the countryside, which is a social practice activity carried out by colleges and universities in summer to improve the comprehensive quality of college students.
Starting from 1996, Publicity Department of the Communist Party of China, the Central Civilization Office, the Ministry of Education, the Ministry of Science and Technology, the Ministry of Justice, the Ministry of Agriculture, the Ministry of Culture, the Ministry of Health, the State Population and Family Planning Commission, the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television, the General Administration of Press and Publication, the Central Committee of the Communist Youth League, the All-China Women's Federation and the China Association for Science and Technology jointly launched the "Three Rural Areas" campaign.
Activity significance:
College students' "going to the countryside" enables them to spread the advanced scientific life concept they have learned at school in the vast rural areas, and closely combine their professional and technical knowledge to carry out various forms of "advanced scientific and cultural knowledge and life concept publicity activities" in rural areas. The process of college students' participation in the construction of new countryside has opened a window for college students to understand China's national conditions and strengthened the relationship between higher education and the construction of new countryside. At the same time, the social practice ability and comprehensive quality of college students have been improved, and outstanding talents have been trained for the future development of the country.
College students are the reserve force for the development of science and technology in China, so they should give full play to their advantages in knowledge and skills and serve rural construction and farmers. The vast rural areas need college students to develop their intelligence, and college students also need to go to the countryside to get in touch with the society, understand the national conditions, and enhance their sense of social responsibility and historical mission in the practice of serving farmers. Through "going to the countryside", college students can change their world outlook and values, combine the needs of rural construction with the growth of young students, and embark on the correct road of growth and success. In addition, the activity of "going to the countryside" has set up another bridge between the party and the government and farmers. Through young students serving in the countryside, the party and the government care about the production and life of farmers.
