(HBO) – Pa Co commune in Mai Chau district has significantly changed in recent years, with its roads concreted and local residents selling a variety of goods to serve tourism and domestic consumption.
People sell local products to serve tourists in Cha
Day hamlet, Pa Co commune, Mai Chau district.
Pa Co’s Cha Day hamlet now has the appearance of a new-style
rural area. The hamlet has established self-managing groups in residential
areas, built a cultural lifestyle, upgraded the landscape and environment, and
stepped up the development of production, animal husbandry and services
provision. Cha Day has about dozens of households, with women having skills in
weaving, and children allowed to go school.
Pa Co – one of the two communes of Mong ethnic minority
people once known as a hotspot for security issues and drug trafficking – is
gradually changing as a result of attentions and investment from the Party and
State.
Sung A Sia, Chairman of the Pa Co People’s Committee, said
as a difficult area, Pa Co has received attentions of the province and the
district for investment in roads, schools, clinics, electricity grids,
agricultural production and tourism serving its growth.
Located at an altitude of more than 1,000m, Pa Co has a
year-round cool climate, primeval forests, and many popular products such as
Shan Tuyet tea and traditional handicrafts. Such advantages have been tapped
for community-based tourism development. So far, the commune has become an
attractive destination for domestic and international tourists.
The
Hoa Binh Party Committee has directed units to continue implementing Project
No. 09-DA/TU on improving the quality of activities of Party organisations and
administrations at the grassroots levels in association with socio-economic
development in Hang Kia and Pa Co communes. The direction covers a series of
measures to mobilise capital sources for investment in building socio-economic
infrastructure; raise public awareness on the matter; improve the operational
efficiency of the political system; and better the material and spiritual lives
of the people of the two communes.
Hoa Binh province’s Department of Education and Training on April 16 held a conference on the materialisation of the Prime Minister’s directive on the further implementation of the project on the application of population database, e-identification and e-authentication for national digital transformation in the 2022-2025 period with a vision to 2030. The provincial Department of Education and Training signs cooperation agreements on cashless tuition fee collection with partners and businesses.
Creating jobs for labourers in general and young people in particular is currently a focus of the province, with vocational training linked to job creation considered one of the strategic breakthrough solutions.
A total of 30 intergenerational self-help clubs (ISHC) have been established in Hoa Binh province under the project "Reducing Income- and Health-Related Vulnerability of Older Persons in Vietnam" (VIE071) since 2021.
Nguyen Thi Nu, a resident of Thach Ly sub-area in Da Bac township of Da Bac district, has been popular in the area as a simple woman that is rich in compassion. For nearly 10 years, she has spread her kindness through many charity activities to ease difficulties for the needy.
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.
