Zhou Pei, Secretary of the Party Committee, SJTU School of Agriculture and Biology, presided over the ceremony.

As the only training base in Shanghai, SJTU takes great responsibility in training personnel for the grassroots agricultural technique in Shanghai. Zhang Jinglin expressed his expectations for the base: firstly, the advantages of Shanghai’s location and SJTU’s general studies should be taken to promote the training. Secondly, enlarge the range of training so that it includes not only grassroots agricultural technical personnel, but also farmers and new countryside builders. Therefore, it may affect the Yangtze River Delta and even the whole country to form the radiation effect. Thirdly, through training of multiform and multilayer, the base should develop into its own characteristics and experiences; therefore it may stand any test.
