Nguyen Thanh Thuy, Deputy Director of the provincial Department of Labour, Invalids and Social Affairs, said information collection was carried out at 25 martyrs’ cemeteries across the province. The portal aims to provide information on martyrs, martyrs’ graves and cemeteries, reducing difficulties of their family members in finding their relatives’ graves and easing the pain of war.

Campaigns to show respect and gratitude to those who rendered services to the nation have been effectively implemented by sectors and agencies of all levels. Revolutionary contributors and policy beneficiary families always receive due attention and support.

All the Vietnamese heroic mothers received life-time support from agencies and units. In 2017, the province paid preferential allowances worth 214 billion VND for over 9,000 revolutionary contributors and took care of 3,387 people at a budget of 4.59 billion VND. It also presented 48,849 gift packs worth 9.71 billion VND from the President and the province to those who rendered services for the nation and their relatives on special occasions and Lunar New Year.
