Zheng stressed that the joint construction of the social practice base will further promote the in-depth integration of production, teaching, research, and application, as well as encourage YNU students to carry out more extensive and in-depth social practice internship activities, helping college students play an active role in contributing to the local economic and social development of Yunnan province.

Through the establishment of the social practice base, three internships or employment projects will be implemented. Outstanding students from YNU will be selected to come to Kaiyuan for internship training, social practice, employment, and entrepreneurship. The base will be a platform for the university's practical education and the talent reserves of Kaiyuan.

The projects plan to select 200 students to Kaiyuan for social practice within three years, and the first 30 students will begin a three-month internship during this semester.
