According to the , citing the Vice President for Science, Technology and Knowledge-Based Economy, Hossein Afshin stated in the first nationwide meeting of the heads of elite provincial foundations in the 14th government, while emphasizing the importance of strengthening the position of provincial foundations, that efforts will be made in the new period of the foundation’s activity. By coordinating with the government board, this position should be strengthened.
Referring to the compilation of the calendar of the meetings of the central headquarters and the heads of elite foundations of the provinces, he said: This meeting is our first meeting of the autumn season, and to establish more coordination, we will hold two meetings in the winter season.
Afshin stated that the main purpose of the provincial trips is to check the conditions of the elites and added: We have traveled to Isfahan, Qom and Gilan provinces and checked the conditions of the elites. It is planned that I will personally travel to each province once a year, and Dr. Khodaigan – the deputy official of the National Elite Foundation – will also travel to the provinces twice a year.
The role of provincial foundations in the scientific vice-chancellor
Referring to the importance of elites for the country, the president’s vice president for science, technology, and knowledge-based economy said: The heads of the National Elite Foundation of the provinces are the representatives of the president’s scientific vice president and the elite foundation in the province. I request all provinces to cooperate and fully cooperate with the head of the provincial foundation.
Afshin pointed out that the investigation of issues related to “provincial elites” will be entrusted to the head of the National Foundation of Provincial Elites, and in other words, the representative of the Scientific Vice-Chancellor for Knowledge-based Elites will be the head of the Foundation of Provincial Elites.
The error of the capital and stock market view of elites
Stating that he is asked whether he sees the status of the National Elite Foundation as “green” or “red”, he explained the nature of this foundation and said: The nature of the National Elite Foundation is something like the National Development Fund.
The president’s vice president for science, technology and knowledge-based economy emphasized the error in the capital and stock market view of elites: this view clearly shows a lack of correct understanding of the status and importance of elites in society. The elites cannot be considered as a commercial and financial commodity, but should be considered as the human and intellectual capital of the society.
Solving the housing concerns of elites should be the priority of all provinces
Hossein Afshin emphasized the importance of solving the elites’ housing concerns and clarified: All provinces should pursue solving the elites’ housing concerns and submit their reports to me every month. A housing working group has been formed in the foundation and I ask the heads of the elite foundations of the provinces to prepare the preparations for this in our provincial trips.
The head of the National Elite Foundation noted: The Elite Foundation has the duty to follow up on this issue with the cooperation of the mayor and the governor.
Qom, a pioneer in solving the elite housing problem with the support of the governor and mayor
He considered Qom province to be a pioneer in solving the elite housing problem and said: I am sure that the elite housing problem of this province will be solved due to the effective coordination and follow-up of the head of the National Elite Foundation of the province with the governorate and municipality.
Elite development from childhood to old age
Referring to the development path of the elite from childhood to old age, Afshin emphasized the necessity of supporting the young elite in the field of housing and added: This matter will be considered and followed up during the provincial trips.
Interaction with governors is the key to solving the basic challenges of the country
In his speech, the President’s vice president for science, technology and knowledge-based economy mentioned the program of increasing interaction with governors across the country.
He also emphasized the need to recognize the local advantages and needs of each province in order to solve the country’s major problems and said: It is important for me that the governors and heads of provincial elite foundations cooperate and interact with each other. Therefore, I will consider the opinion of the governors in the installation and retention of the heads of provincial elite foundations.
The head of the National Elite Foundation noted that there is no rush in the process of retaining and appointing the presidents of the Elite Foundation in the provinces, and the accurate recognition of local advantages is a fundamental priority for the foundation.
Afshin pointed out the problem that the National Elite Foundation is facing and said: “Unfortunately, the National Elite Foundation has transferred an identity crisis to the elites.” The foundation looks at the elites as an elite society and its goal is to provide a growth platform for this group and reduce their concerns, because the elites spontaneously affect the future of the country.
The head of the National Elite Foundation also emphasized: Except for the Campus Technology Park, no other park is under the Scientific Vice-Chancellor, but we support other parks as well. Of course, if there is any problem for the elites from the parks, the case should be reported to me so that I can do the necessary follow-up. If the problems of our elites are not solved, our support will also be cut.
Afshin also pointed to the limitation of financial support and said: We cannot support projects like Shahab, which require a large budget. Planning and budget must be appropriate; Each plan must have a budget attachment. Very good and promising projects that cannot be funded will only result in dissatisfaction for the elites.
The return of key projects to the elite arena
In the end, the head of the National Elite Foundation announced the return of two important projects to the country’s elite arena and said: “The Martyr Wazai Plan and the Martyr Ahmadi Roshan Plan will come to the field again with new names and approaches.”
