National Rural Revitalization Administration

The National Rural Revitalization Administration is a government agency in Beijing that oversees nationwide programs to develop rural areas. It manages initiatives related to agriculture, infrastructure improvements, and raising living standards across villages and countryside regions.

The agency was established in February 2021 as a successor to the State Council Leading Group Office of Poverty Alleviation and Development, which had originated in 1993. This transition reflected a shift from poverty reduction efforts toward broader rural development and long-term sustainability.

This administration implements programs to preserve traditional farming methods while introducing modern agricultural technologies in Chinese rural communities.

Access is typically through official channels and formal requests, as this is a government office rather than a place for casual visits. Most people engage with its programs through local authorities and partner organizations in their communities.

The Raindrop Program provides targeted support to families who have escaped poverty, helping them avoid falling back into financial hardship. This initiative demonstrates a focus on sustaining improvements over the long term.
