(HBO) - The northern mountainous province of Hoa Binh has organised a meeting to review the 10-year implementation of the national target programme on new-style rural area building during the 2010-2020 period.
Bui Van Tinh, member of the Party Central Committee, Secretary of the Party Committee of Hoa Binh province, and other provincial leaders visit the booth of the agricultural cooperative of Dao hamlet, Thong Nhat commune, Hoa Binh city.
After ten years of implementing the programme, rural areas in Hoa Binh have
been given a facelift across spheres, from politics to socio-economic
development and environmental protection. Locals’ living standards have been
improved significantly. Annual per capita income in rural areas is estimated at
32 million VND in 2019, and the rate of poor households is expected to drop to
about 14.28 percent. Hoa Binh province has also paid attention to
socio-economic infrastructure construction in these areas.
By September 2019, 82 out of 191 communes (42.9 percent) in the province had
been recognised as new-style rural areas. Each commune fulfilled about 15.01
criteria on average and there are no communes completing less than 10 criteria.
Prime Minister Nguyen Xuan Phuc recognised Hoa Binh city’s fulfillment of its new-style
rural area building duty in 2018. Meanwhile, Luong Son district is completing a
dossier for the PM’s recognition in 2019.
During the 2009-2019 period, the province mobilised 21.21 trillion VND for the
programme, of which 6.3 percent was sourced from the central budget. The
locality has built and upgraded more than 4,000 km of rural roads, nearly 800
km of canals, more than 500 school facilities, over 700 cultural works, nearly
80 rural markets and 80 communal medical centres, with investment totaling 52.7
trillion VND, of which 14 percent came from the State treasury.
On this occasion, the provincial Confederation of Labour presented 1,100 tonnes
of cement to Hoa Binh city and 10 districts to support their new-style rural
area building. /.
With the motto of "polite, dedicated, professional, and lawful,” over the years, Phu Cuong commune in Tan Lac district has gradually improved the quality of processing administrative procedures, winning high satisfaction from local people and businesses.
Stretching over 300 meters, valued at hundreds of million dong and built to the new-style rural standards, a concrete road in De hamlet, Bac Phong commune, Cao Phong district, was completed by the end of 2023 thanks to the collective contributions of armed forces at provincial and district levels coupled with the active participation of military units stationed throughout the district.
Over the years, the People’s Committee of Lac Thuy district has issued many plans and programmes to speed up the administrative reform, aiming to better serve local people and businesses.
Kim Boi district is drafting 23 planning projects which are expected to help boost the local socio-economic development, attract investors, and mobilise resources for development, said Vice chairman of the district People’s Committee Tran Tuan Son.
They include the one on Bo urban area development until 2045, 20 zoning, and 12 on rural residential areas in communes.
This year, Hoa Binh province strives to have eight communes recognised as meeting new-style rural area standards and five communes satisfying exemplary new-style rural area standards. Since the beginning of the year, the provincial People's Committee has drastically directed the implementation of the national target programme on new-style rural area building to fulfil the set target.
Cao Phong district achieved positive socio-economic development results last year as drastic comprehensive measures were implemented with high determination of its whole political system, said the Secretary of the district Party Committee Ha Van Di.
