Qazvin's Rural Development Not Possible Without Stronger Water and Road Infrastructure

Qazvin – The Governor of Avaj, stressing the need for national support for rural infrastructure projects, called for funding to optimize agricultural water use, complete rural roads, and expand emergency services.

Qazvin- Governor Auj, emphasizing the need for national support for rural infrastructure projects, demanded funding to optimize agricultural water consumption, complete rural roads and develop emergency services.

According to Mehr reporter, Mohammad Reza Fatehkhani, Governor of Auj, on Thursday afternoon, in the meeting of Qazvin province administrators with the vice president for rural development and underprivileged areas, emphasized the necessity of strengthening rural infrastructure with the support of the government and using the capacity of popular participation.

Referring to the position of agriculture in the economy of Qazvin province, he said: This province is responsible for about 10% of the country's food supply chain, but the limitation of water resources and the dependence of a major part of agriculture on underground water have doubled the need to pay serious attention to water resources management.

Referring to the implementation of water supply projects in the province centered on the governorate, Governor Auj added: The water transfer plan from Taleghan Dam is being implemented with a credit of about 23 hemats and without direct injection of government resources, which covers water supply to 144 villages and 14 cities.

Stating that the sustainable development of villages is dependent on the strengthening of production infrastructure, Fatehkhani requested the special support of the Vice President of Rural Affairs and Underprivileged Regions for the plans to cover rivers and increase water productivity in the agricultural sector.

He explained: many of these projects are not prioritized for the allocation of provincial travel credits due to not having a national credit line; While their implementation can have significant effects in increasing the satisfaction of villagers and strengthening the economy of rural areas with a lower cost.

The need to establish emergency bases in rural areas

In another part of his speech, referring to the needs of the healthcare sector, Governor Auj considered reducing the time it takes to transfer patients from the accident site to the first medical center as one of the necessities of rural areas.

Emphasizing the importance of developing emergency medical services, he said: The establishment of emergency centers in the required areas of the province can play an effective role in reducing the time it takes patients to access medical services.

Referring to the possibility of using the capacity of benefactors to build bases and provide ambulances, Fatehkhani requested the support of the government to issue the necessary permits and provide the basis for the construction of these centers in qualified areas.

Tourism and rural roads; Two capacities of economic development

Referring to the tourism capacities of Qazvin Province, he said: "With the planned plans, the goal is to turn Qazvin from a passing route for tourists into a destination for tourists to stay and stay."

Referring to the tourism capacities in different regions of the province, including Alamut in the north of Qazvin and the southern villages of the province, Governor Auj considered investment in this area as an opportunity for economic prosperity and creating stable income in rural areas.

Also referring to the state of rural roads, Fatehkhani stated: 133 villages in the province are facing the problem of lack of rural roads and the implementation of these projects may take years by relying solely on government funds.

Referring to the experience of implementing four rural road projects last year with the participation of the people and the cooperation of the executive bodies, he added: In this model, bitumen was provided through the responsible bodies and part of the financial resources were provided with the participation of residents and benefactors.

In the end, Governor Auj requested the government's support for the development of this cooperative model and the provision of the necessary facilities for the implementation of rural roads and emphasized: using the capacity of people and benefactors along with the support of executive bodies can speed up the process of completing rural infrastructure.
