(HBO) – People of ethnic minority groups, accounting for 74.3 percent of the total population of Hoa Binh, mostly live in rural areas with difficult conditions. Therefore, over the years, the Party Committee and administration of Hoa Binh have paid great attention to promoting unity among ethnic groups and improving the living conditions of ethnic minority communities, considering it as a major task of the whole political system.
The provincial Party Committee, People’s Council and
People’s Committee have led and instruct all sectors, departments and the whole
political system to engage in addressing difficulties to enhance the material
and spiritual conditions of the community.
The provincial Party Committee, People’s Council and
People’s Committee have directed relevant agencies to coordinate and issue
documents to institutionalize and concretise policies and orientations of the
Party, State and the province on ethnic affairs, while assigning specific tasks
to each sector and agency in line with the realization of policies, programmes
and projects on socio-economic development.
Particularly, the province has directed localities to combine
funds of centrally-invested programmes and projects on ethnic community with
other financial resources to improve infrastructure system in ethnic areas,
with priority given to transport, irrigation, health care, education and
culture works.
At the same time, the province has invested greatly in science-technology
transfer programmes, projects and models to promote production in rural areas.
Notably, many agricultural production models have been
implemented with high economic efficiency, creating concentrated production
areas, helping create many major products in cultivation, breeding, and
forestry, contributing to boosting socio-economic growth and improve income for
locals.
Thanks to the programmes and projects, the infrastructure
system in ethnic minority areas of the province have been improved, changing
the face of mountainous areas, facilitating socio-economic development in especially
extremely difficult communes in the province.
More convenient transportation have made goods exchange and
travelling activities of the community easier, improving the material and
spiritual life of ethnic minority groups, contributing to preserving and
promoting the cultural identity of the groups.
Thanks to the direction and leadership of Party Committees
and administrations at all levels as well as the involvement of the whole
political system and efforts of ethnic minority people in getting rid of
poverty and building new-style rural area, per capita income in Hoa Binh’s
rural areas has reached 22 million VND per year. The poverty ratio among
households dropped to 14 percent in 2018, with reduction of 3-4 percent per
year on average.
The province has 82 out of its total 191 communes recognised
as new-style rural areas, 51 communes higher than that in 2015, completing the
target set by the province’s resolution one year ahead of schedule./.
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.
