Top property developer Junfa Group Co Ltd donated 100 million yuan ($14.16 million) to a Yunnan University education fund on June 30, to support its "double first-class" construction -- YNU's efforts to build itself into a world-class university with world-class disciplines, according to the university officials.

The group, founded in 1998 and located in Kunming city, capital of Southwest China's Yunnan province, is one of top 50 real estate companies in the country.

Attendees at the donation ceremony included representatives from the provincial education department, finance department, civil affairs department, tax bureau, as well as those from Junfa Group and YNU.

Lin Wenxun, Party committee secretary of YNU, told the ceremony that the gift was the first large donation received by the university's education foundation, which was established earlier.

Lin said the funding would greatly promote YNU's "double first-class" development and boost its partnership with Junfa Group in more areas.

Li Jun, founder of Junfa Group, gave a briefing on the group's development over 22 years, especially its efforts in poverty alleviation through education, targeted poverty alleviation, disaster relief and other areas.

Li said that as a local enterprise, the group would give more support to YNU's development in professional training and scientific research, so as to make more contributions to local economic and social development.
