(HBO) – Capitalising on local socio-economic strengths, the Party organisation, authorities and people of Thach Yen commune, which is home to Cao Phong – Thach Yen revolutionary base, have made efforts to promote the building of new-style rural areas, helping create a facelift to the locality.
Investments have been made to develop
socio-economic infrastructure in Thach Yen commune, Cao Phong district.
According to Bui Minh Anh, former Secretary of
the Party organisation of Thach Yen commune, Cao Phong – Thach Yen is one of
the four revolutionary bases of Hoa Binh province, which belongs to the
Hoa-Ninh-Thanh revolutionary zone. It was recognised as a national historical
relic site by the Ministry of Culture and Information in 1996.
In late 1944, the regional Party Committee of
Bac Ky assigned Vu Tho to the region to popularise the nation’s revolution
among local ethnic communities, which paved the way for the establishment of
the Cao Phong – Thach Yen revolutionary base. In July 1945, Tho selected 30
young, tough and enthusiastic militiamen for military training courses in Cao
Phong – Thach Yen region.
On August 23, 1945, the delegation of the Cao
Phong – Thach Yen base coordinated with the army in Lac Son to enter Phuong
Lam, joining revolutionary forces in the whole province to seize power from the
enemy.
Over the years, upholding the revolutionary
tradition, the Party organisation, administration and locals of Thach Yen and
Hop Phong communes have bolstered solidarity to optimise the localities’
potentials and advantages to boost socio-economic development, improve locals’
living conditions, and ensure security and order.
Travel has been made easier for local residents
as roads have been concretised, while farmers are enjoying bumper crops of
fruits.
The commune has paid due heed to developing
culture, education and health care, with three out of the four schools meeting
the national standard at the first level, local medical station meeting
national standard, and more than 70% of households granted the title "cultured
families”.
Vice Chairman of the communal People’s Committee
Bui Van Hau said local livelihoods have been improved, and social security
maintained over the past time.
Thach Yen sees its economy grow 13.85%, and per
capita income reach 26 million VND (1,078 USD) a year. As the commune has met
15 out of the 19 new style rural area criteria, it is working to complete the
task of the new-style rural area building by 2024.
In recent years, Mai Ha commune in Mai Chau district has been making efforts to restructure its crops and livestock to improve production efficiency, enhance the quality of life, and increase income for local residents. Notably, the cultivation of watermelon in line with Vietnamese Goods Agricultural Practices (VietGAP) standards has helped local people escape poverty.
Hoa Binh province scored 43.5493 points in the 2023 Provincial Governance and Public Administration Performance Index (PAPI), ranking 20th out of the 63 provinces and cities nationwide, up 23 places compared to the 2022 list. The results show people's satisfaction with the effectiveness of implementing State policies and laws, local governance, and providing public services by authorities at all levels in the province.
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.
