(HBĐT) - Returning to Thanh Hoi commune, Tan Lac district in mid-August, we saw great changes in the appearance of the local rural areas and the living standards of local residents. Tan Huong hamlet, adjacent to National Highway 12B, has become a model residential area. Local cooperatives have exported pomelos to the European market.
Red-fleshed pomelos
from Thanh Hoi commune, Tan Lac district, were exported to the UK in 2022.
Duong Tat Tinh, an experienced pomelo farmer,
said the residents of Tan Huong hamlet have gained a good level of expertise in
cultivating pomelo. Currently, many households have significant changed their
mindset and continued renovating pomelo cultivation methods, aiming for exports
and meeting the increasingly high market demand. This year, Tinh's pomelo orchard
continues to yield quality fruits that meet safe production standards. Local
households also engage in animal raising, trading and services, leading to an
overall improvement in their living conditions.
Thanh Hoi has a large acreage and a big
population. The commune used to perform well in rural transport development and
restructuring of crops and animals, particularly focusing on raising cattle and
developing red-fleshed and green-skinned pomelos. In recent years, the communal
Party organisation has effectively built the Party and political system, upheld
the role of officials and Party members in leading, directing, and engaging
locals in rural development.
After three years of implementing the Resolution
adopted by the 27th Party Congress of the commune, 9 out of 18 targets have
been achieved and exceeded while 9 out of 18 targets met schedule. The local
leaders oversaw the conversion of crops on 22 ha of land. The commune now has
310ha of citrus growing area. The commune continues to develop models of
commercial cattle farming and step up forest-based economic growth.
The communal Party organisation has directed and
effectively pooled resources to develop infrastructure, build new-style rural
areas, maintain two model residential areas, and six model gardens in Tan Huong
and Nen 2 hamlets. It also continues with the construction of another model
residential area in Tan Tien hamlet. Alongside these efforts, the commune is
focusing on cultural and social affairs, maintaining national standard level 1 for
the local kindergarten. The Thanh Hoi primary and secondary school has been
recognised as meeting national standard level 1. At present, the average annual
per capita income of the commune is 58 million VND (2,400 USD), and the rate of
poor households is around 6.2%.
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.

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.
