"Every detail of how village collective earnings are distributed and who qualifies for a share is now fully transparent. Receiving my dividend this time has brought me genuine relief and joy," said Du Fengming, a villager from Longtaisi Village in Datong Township, Jialing District, Nanchong City. He recently received his collective dividend and spoke passionately about the transformation in how the village's collective economic income is allocated.
For an extended period, oversight of rural collective funds and assets remained lax, with arbitrary dividend decisions and a lack of transparency in many village communities emerging as major challenges in grassroots governance. Numerous collective assets sat idle for years, preventing the benefits of惠民 policies from reaching the public.
To address these issues, the Discipline Inspection and Supervision Commission of Jialing District launched a targeted campaign to standardize the operational mechanisms for village collective dividends, effectively turning supervisory outcomes into tangible benefits for the people. The commission shifted its strategy from passively waiting for complaints to actively investigating conditions on the ground, utilizing routine grassroots visits and analysis of public feedback to conduct specialized inspections of collective dividend distributions.
In collaboration with agricultural and financial departments, cross-inspection teams were formed to audit 33 village communities involved in collective economies across 11 towns and streets in the district. This effort involved reviewing 217 economic contracts and examining over 1,300 financial records, uncovering issues such as non-standard dividend procedures and weak routine oversight in some villages.
In response to these findings, the commission employed a coordinated supervision mechanism to establish dedicated teams for on-site oversight. Longtaisi Village in Datong Township, selected as a demonstration site due to its substantial assets and high public attention, underwent comprehensive tracking. The teams focused on critical stages including book sorting, audit verification, decision-making transparency, and fund distribution, urging both township and village levels to systematically organize historical financial accounts.
Third-party institutions were brought in to conduct specialized audits, clarify the collective asset baseline, address gaps in asset management records, and effectively revitalize long-dormant collective income. Village-level decision-making procedures were also strictly standardized, with public input sought on dividend rules, beneficiary scopes, and allocation standards. A direct distribution model via social security cards was adopted, fundamentally preventing fund interception or deduction irregularities.
Driven by sustained supervisory efforts, Longtaisi Village completed a compliant collective dividend distribution on July 1 this year, with 479,000 yuan in collective earnings directly reaching 2,395 villagers, achieving true shared benefits. A representative from the Jialing District Commission stated that future efforts will deepen specialized oversight of rural collective assets, normalize crackdowns on micro-power abuse, and refine collective economic operations, using precise supervision to support comprehensive rural revitalization and firmly uphold the baseline for people's livelihoods.
