In recent years, Dazhi District has adhered to a development strategy led by party building, deeply integrating the cultivation of new low-altitude productive forces with the expansion of community collective economy and the increase of local incomes. Relying on the Tuanjie Community collective economic entity, with Dongyi Technology as the industrial breakthrough, and leveraging the platform advantages of the Dazhi low-altitude economy application demonstration base, the district has focused on local cultivation, scenario-driven development, and a people-oriented approach. This has promoted the deep integration of low-altitude technology into ecological management, grassroots governance, modern agriculture, and cultural tourism services.
By extending the industrial chain, cultivating new business forms, and gathering new momentum, the district continues to strengthen the community collective economy. This has achieved a virtuous development pattern of industrial upgrading, collective efficiency gains, and benefits for the people, injecting new vitality into rural revitalization.
In Dazhi, there is a community collective economic enterprise, Tuanjie Community Dongyi Technology Co., Ltd., which has seized the opportunity for low-altitude economic development and closely integrated new industries with the collective economy. As a local enterprise independently cultivated and operated by Tuanjie Community, Dongyi Technology, under the leadership of its "Dongyi Pioneer" party building brand, is based on local environmental and development needs. It operates the Dazhi Low-Altitude Economy Application Demonstration Base and the Low-Altitude Digital Application Center, making it the core local hub for the implementation, scenario application, and industrial cultivation of the low-altitude economy in the entire district.
Considering the local complex climate and terrain operating conditions, the enterprise has conducted targeted research and debugging of customized drone equipment adapted to the local environment. Through localized technical improvements and frontline practical operations, drones have been widely deployed in scenarios such as material lifting for the north-south mountain greening projects, full-region ecological inspections, urban and rural environmental patrols, agricultural and animal husbandry plant protection operations, and aerial survey mapping. This transforms cutting-edge technology into practical strength for serving regional development and supporting grassroots governance.
Gesang Dawa, Deputy Secretary of the Party General Branch of Tuanjie Community, Deqing Town, Dazhi District, said: "Developing Dongyi Technology is an experiment in exploring a new type of collective economy for our community. We regard the low-altitude new business format as an important starting point for strengthening the village collective economy and empowering grassroots governance, establishing a development model of 'collective leadership, mass participation, and market operation.' We are blazing a new path for rural revitalization that is driven by technology, increases collective income, and benefits the masses."
Rooted in the community and serving the local area is the most distinctive hallmark of the collective economy in benefiting people's livelihoods. Based on the employment needs of local youth, the enterprise has built a professional training and cultivation system, conducting targeted skills training in drone operation, equipment maintenance, route planning, and platform dispatching. It gives priority to recruiting and training local college graduates and unemployed youth. This enables community members to acquire new skills, enter new industries, and achieve stable employment and income without leaving home, truly transforming the new industry into a quality platform for cultivating local talent and securing the well-being of the people.
Gadancuozhen, a publicist at Dongyi Technology Co., Ltd., said: "I am a fresh graduate who joined last year. As a local youth, I chose to stay in my hometown after graduation and joined Dongyi Technology. I used to feel that cutting-edge technology was far away from us, but after joining, I learned various drone operations and participated in many inspection tasks. Seeing technology help develop my hometown with my own eyes fills me with pride. In the future, I will study technology diligently, stay dedicated to my post, and contribute my strength to the development of my hometown."
Ci Sang, a route planner at Dongyi Technology Co., Ltd., said: "I am a local from Dazhi. After graduation, I learned about the development opportunities brought by the low-altitude economy to my hometown. After training and obtaining certification, I have now become a drone pilot. I can learn cutting-edge technology at my doorstep and earn a stable income through the low-altitude industry. I can take care of my family while realizing my personal value in drone patrol duties. I have personally experienced the new opportunities that the low-altitude economy has brought to local youth."
As the core operating entity of the community collective economy, Dongyi Technology consistently adheres to its development positioning of "building platforms, gathering industries, expanding scenarios, and benefiting the people," maximizing the demonstration base's ability to gather and radiate effects. Internally, it coordinates and integrates various low-altitude operational needs across the region, including ecological management, urban and rural governance, and agricultural services. It has established a standardized low-altitude digital dispatching platform and planned multiple routine operational routes to precisely serve the grassroots work of various departments. Externally, it continues to attract and cultivate upstream and downstream market entities, promoting the deep integration of low-altitude technology with local agriculture, cultural tourism, and digital services industries.
By building a complete development chain of "application-training-services-industry," the collective economic foundation is continuously consolidated. All industrial revenues belong to the collective and are coordinated by the community, with all of them being reinvested in local livelihood initiatives and the development needs of the people.
Ma Rongfei, General Manager of Dazhi District Dongyi Technology Co., Ltd., said: "We continue to optimize investment attraction, attracting upstream and downstream enterprises in drone operations, technical maintenance, equipment support, and technology research and development to settle here. For enterprises that land here, we take the initiative to solve practical problems such as office space, accommodation, and food support, minimizing their landing costs as much as possible. At the same time, we actively promote collaboration between external enterprises and local market entities, cultivating and improving the entire low-altitude economy industry chain. This truly ensures that enterprises can be attracted, retained, and well-developed, steadily building a virtuous cycle of the low-altitude industry ecosystem."
As the industry continues to grow, people's livelihoods continue to improve. With the continuous enrichment of low-altitude industry formats and the steady growth of collective economic income, Tuanjie Community has established a complete benefit-sharing mechanism for collective income. Through methods such as year-end collective dividends, industrial share-holding returns, and public welfare post placements, it directly drives local people to increase their income and become prosperous. At the same time, the community focuses its collective economic surplus funds on upgrading infrastructure and improving the living environment, precisely addressing the urgent and difficult problems of the people. It is steadily advancing the overall renovation and upgrading of alleys such as Aiguo Lane and Minzhu Lane, organizing power and communication lines, optimizing traffic conditions, and beautifying the street environment—truly transforming the dividends of industrial development into tangible welfare that the people can see and feel.
Xi Luo, a resident of Tuanjie Community, said: "In the past, the cables in this alley were messy and utility poles blocked the way. Now after the renovation, the roads are clear, the environment is beautiful, and travel is convenient. Everyone is very satisfied, and the entire village has taken on a fresh look."
Going forward, Dazhi District will continue to unleash the pioneering and demonstrative effect of Dongyi Technology. Taking the low-altitude economy as a breakthrough, it will drive the collective economy to advance toward innovation and higher goals, writing a new chapter of "party building leadership, low-altitude empowerment, and comprehensive revitalization" on the blueprint of plateau industrial transformation and upgrading.
