(HBO) – Da Bac is a mountainous district with intertwined hills, mountains, rivers and streams, leading to many narrow strips and steep topography. This variable terrain causes difficulties for not only transport but also natural resources exploitation and economic development.
The inter-hamlet road in Tan Pheo commune has met local
transport, trading and socio-economic development demand.
Forests are the most valuable asset of Da Bac,
which is home to the largest natural area compared to that of other districts
in Hoa Binh province, and most of the area is forest land – 65.12 percent or
more than 50,660ha. Forests are "green lungs”, and they also provide humans
with precious produce nurtured by their own diverse resources.
Developing forest-based economic activities has
been and will remain a suitable development direction for the district. From
now to 2050, Da Bac plans to turn forest-based activities into a spearhead
economic sector and continue consolidating the four local socio-economic
pillars of forest-based economic activities, livestock and crop production by
farming households, herbal plant development, and tourism.
As a district with the highest household poverty
rate in Hoa Binh – 51.75 percent in 2015, Da Bac faces numerous challenges to
the realisation of the resolution of the provincial Party Congress for the
2015-2020 tenure. Amid limited resources, the district’s Party organisation and
administration consider developing road transport infrastructure as the top
priority.
So far, all communes in Da Bac have had roads
helping their centres accessible by car. Up to 98 percent of the
district-managed roads, 97 percent of inter-commune roads, 70 percent of
inter-hamlet roads, and 72 percent of roads in local villages have been paved.
More roads crossing fields have been built or renovated, over 1,260km of the
roads managed by district and communal authorities have received regular
maintenance, and Provincial Road 433 has continued to be upgraded.
Aside from the resolve to invest in
infrastructure to boost socio-economic development, Da Bac district has also
paid attention to improving people’s awareness. Realising the necessity to
escape from poverty on their own, local residents are determined to overcome
hardships and not to rely on external support.
From 2015 to 2019, the household poverty rate
here decreased by 4.9 percent annually on average to 32 percent at the end of
last year. Compared to 2015, per capita income surged 160 percent to 27.5 million
VND (nearly 1,200 USD) in late 2019./.
Voluntary blood donation (HMTN) is a noble and humane gesture. 24 years ago, the Prime Minister issued Decision No. 43/2000/QD-TTg on mobilizing and encouraging Voluntary blood donation and designated April 7 every year as "All-People Voluntary blood donation Day”. This is an important milestone in the movement of voluntary blood donation, creating a strong change in the awareness and action at all levels of the government and people from all walks of life.
Yen Thuy is aiming to become a new-style rural district by 2025. To achieve this goal, the district has been mobilising the entire political system and local people to early fulfil required criteria.
From a normal bamboo tree, Nguyen Van Nam in Yen Tri commune, Yen Thuy district has transformed it into a "bamboo dragon". His works have been present in many countries.
On March 27th, the Public Security of Cao Phong District launched the model of clever mobilization "The Adopted Children of the Communal Police” advised and implemented by the Police of the communes and the town in coordination with the Youth Communist Union and the Women’s Union of the District Police.
According to the People's Committee of Tan Lac district, Hoa Binh province, by the end of 2023, Tan Lac district has 10/15 communes that meet new rural standards, with an average of 16 criteria per commune. The entire district has 14 OCOP products, including 13 3-star OCOP products and 1 4-star OCOP product; 18 model residential areas and 57 model gardens were recognized.
Hoa Binh is known as a land with a rich history and culture, one of the cradles of ancient Vietnamese people. The province is home to many ethnic groups, among which Muong people are indigenous inhabitants, sharing the same origin as the ancient Vietnamese people. The Muong people live in many northern provinces, but a majority resides in Hoa Binh province, along with famous "Hoa Binh Culture" that has created the beauty of the land and its people.
