BEIJING (Xinhua) -- China will launch a nationwide campaign to better mobilize the science and technology sector to contribute to the country's rural revitalization drive, according to a new set of guidelines.

The guidelines, jointly issued by the China Association for Science and Technology and the National Rural Revitalization Authority, outline a series of key tasks, including providing scientific and technological training, lectures and industry guidance for rural areas.

The guidelines call for science and technology associations at all levels to lead grassroots science and technology workers to join the rural revitalization work.

The guidelines also require relevant authorities to integrate the construction of science popularization facilities into the general planning of rural infrastructure, expand the service coverage of mobile science popularization facilities, and build more science museums in rural high schools.
