On this day, Jangan-gu Office opened its government building and held the event to create a venue for communication with local residents. On May 30th, 100 boxes of 10 varieties of rice, including early-ripening rice varieties, were transplanted in the office plaza, and were cultivated with elderly residents of Jowon 2-dong, resulting in a successful harvest.

The rice harvesting at the office plaza was conducted for the first time in the heart of the city, with District Chief Hong Sung-gwan and approximately 10 elderly people, including Im Cheong-ja, chairwoman of the Hanil Town Senior Citizen Association in Jowon 2-dong, and Jung Dong-han, a member of the Saemaul Cooperation Committee, participating together.

District Chief Hong Sung-gwan said, "Although the harvested rice is a small quantity, we plan to dry and mill it to distribute to facilities within the district," and added, "Next year, we plan to increase the quantity and cultivate rice to serve as an educational venue for communication and experiential learning."
