Historical evolution of Hubei Provincial Immigration Bureau

At the beginning of its establishment, it was called Provincial Immigration Bureau, which was directly under the former Provincial People's Committee. Later, with the relocation of Danjiangkou Reservoir, it was changed to a department under the Provincial Civil Affairs Department to co-ordinate the reservoir resettlement work in the name of the Provincial Immigration Office. 1993 After the Three Gorges Project started, the provincial party committee and government attached great importance to the resettlement work, and decided to set up the Hubei Provincial Three Gorges Project Resettlement Development Bureau on the basis of the former Immigration Department of the Civil Affairs Department, and at the same time put up the brand of Hubei Provincial Resettlement Development Bureau. Its institutional nature is the deputy department-level institutions with administrative functions managed by civil servants, and the full amount is the provincial financial allocation. As the Immigration Bureau of the Three Gorges Project, it is responsible for the resettlement of the dam area and reservoir area of the Three Gorges Project in the State Council, and as the Hubei Provincial Immigration Bureau, the Ministry of Water Resources, the the State Council South-to-North Water Transfer Project Construction Committee and the State Planning Commission, it is responsible for the resettlement of large reservoirs. In June 2002, in order to strengthen the leadership of immigration work, the provincial party Committee and the provincial government decided to adjust the provincial immigration bureau from the management of the provincial civil affairs department to the direct jurisdiction of the provincial government. In May 2006, the provincial party committee and the provincial government decided to upgrade the Provincial Immigration Bureau to the departmental level directly under the provincial government, and handed over the resettlement management functions of 877,000 small and medium-sized reservoirs originally undertaken by the Provincial Water Resources Department, the Provincial Development and Reform Commission and other departments to the Provincial Immigration Bureau for unified management.
