Embrace big-picture thinking, grassroots deputies advised

National People's Congress deputies from the grassroots should not be shortsighted and must look at the bigger picture because their proposals will have a nationwide impact, Kelsang Drolkar, a deputy from the Tibet autonomous region, said recently in Lhasa.

"As a village Party chief, I know how central government policies can improve villagers' lives. I can also learn about the problems that can occur during the implementation of different policies," said Kelsang, 56, Party chief of Lhasa's Darmar village.

"I will then carry out research to see if these problems are also happening elsewhere. If so, I will draft proposals that can help to contribute to policies, or even become the foundation for new ones."
