(HBO) - Despite having a low starting point, in recent years, the Party Committee and administration of Tan Lac district have focused on directing and mobilising resources for new-style rural building, aiming to bring changes to the countryside and improve the quality of the lives of local residents
Rural roads in Thanh Hoi
commune (Tan Lac district) are upgraded to meet the requirement of
socio-economic development.
Thanh Hoi commune boasts a vast area and a dense population. In
the past, local people's lives faced a lot of difficulties. However, the
new-style rural area building has achieved positive results thanks to the
engagement of the whole political system. In 2019, the commune met standards
for new-style rural areas, and it is currently building advanced new-style
rural areas.
Bui Thi Bich, Deputy Secretary of the commune Party Committee, said Thanh Hoi
has mobilised all resources to build new-style rural areas, especially
promoting the role of cadres and party members and the people in calling on
local residents to donate land and work days to the construction of public
works.
The commune converts inefficient cultivation areas to grow fruit trees and
raise livestock, creating jobs for local people. Up to now, the income per
capita of the commune has reached 58 million VND (2,400 USD) and the rate of
poor households stood at 6.2%.
The new-style rural area building has created positive changes not only in
Thanh Hoi but also other communes along National Highway 12B as well as
disadvantaged ones including Phu Vinh, Phu Cuong, Van Son, Ngo Luong and Quyet
Chien. The quality of lives of local people has also been improved.
The district has effectively carried out new-style rural area building-related
work as planning, developing production and gradually exploiting the locality’s
potential.
The new-style rural area building has been associated with investment in
infrastructure to serve agricultural and rural development such as repairing
dams, lakes and canals and applyingscientific and technological advances
to animal husbandry and farming.
Over the past three years, the district has converted about
200ha of inefficient rice cultivation land to grow other crops.
The district has over 200 hectares of fruit trees certified with
VietGAP and organic standards and six units were granted planting area codes.
There are two cooperatives and a collective group participating in production
links with Tan Lac grapefruit, sugarcane and chili export products with Fusa
Organic Agriculture joint Stock Company.
According to Bui Duc Hien, head of the district’s Division of Agriculture and
Rural Development, by the end of July, Tan Lac district had nine out of 15
communes meeting new-style rural area standards. There were 13 outstanding
residential areas and 41 model gardens by the end of 2022.
The district is reviewing the new-style rural area criteria in line with the
2021 - 2025 criteria set. In the coming time, the district will mobilise
capital for infrastructure development to fulfill these criteria. It will also
promote restructuring of the agricultural sector towards improving production
value associated with building new-style rural areas.
Attention will be
paid to forestry development associated with sustainable poverty reduction,
enhancing the implementation of the One Commune One Product Programme,
expanding community-based tourism along with new-style rural building, aiming
to improve the quality of people's lives.
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.
