(HBO) – Thanks to the joint efforts of the whole political system and the support of local residents, Hoa Binh has been among leading localities in the northern mountainous region in implementing the National Target Programme on New-Style Rural Area Building with many important achievements.
Rural roads in
Nhuan Trach commune, Luong Son district, has been expanded and become cleaner
and more beautiful, contributing to making the locality a model new-style rural
area.
In the 2021-2025 period, the province aims to continue to carry out the
programme effectively in association with the restructuring of the agricultural
sector, enhancing the living conditions for locals, promoting socio-economic
infrastructure system, and maintaining the traditional cultural identity, thus
making the rural area a worth-living place.
Specifically, by 2025, the province expects 76.7% of its communes to be
recognised as new-style rural areas, 37.4% certified as advanced new-style
rural areas, and 8.1% becoming model new-style rural areas.
At the same time, 50% of the total districts are to complete all criteria of
the programme, and at least one district is expected to become an advanced
new-style rural area. On average, each commune is hoped to finish 17 out of the
19 criteria of the programme.
Vice Chairman of the provincial People’s Committee Dinh Cong Su said that in
order to complete the goals, in the 2021-2025 period, Hoa Binh will invest 27
trillion VND (1.1 billion USD) in the programme.
At the same time, the locality will continue to encourage local residents to
involve themselves in the programme, while prioritising resources for the
completion of the fundamental infrastructure system in communes, especially
those with extreme difficulties, speeding up the agricultural sector, paying
more attention to human resources training, and promoting the development of
handicraft and tourism, he said.
The official said that the provincial People’s Committee is directing the local
administrations and sectors to mobilise resources for the building of new-style
rural areas. Along with the central budget, localities have been asked to
consider the spending of parts of local budget for the programme, while paying
special attention to extremely difficult communes and those that have
registered to become new-style rural areas in the 2021-205 period.
At the same time, the implementation of the criteria that have been lagging
behind will be sped up, with focus on supporting the development of corporate
economy and cooperatives as well as the production in value chain so as to
create more jobs and increase incomes for rural dwellers, he added./.
With the motto of "polite, dedicated, professional, and lawful,” over the years, Phu Cuong commune in Tan Lac district has gradually improved the quality of processing administrative procedures, winning high satisfaction from local people and businesses.
Stretching over 300 meters, valued at hundreds of million dong and built to the new-style rural standards, a concrete road in De hamlet, Bac Phong commune, Cao Phong district, was completed by the end of 2023 thanks to the collective contributions of armed forces at provincial and district levels coupled with the active participation of military units stationed throughout the district.
Over the years, the People’s Committee of Lac Thuy district has issued many plans and programmes to speed up the administrative reform, aiming to better serve local people and businesses.
Kim Boi district is drafting 23 planning projects which are expected to help boost the local socio-economic development, attract investors, and mobilise resources for development, said Vice chairman of the district People’s Committee Tran Tuan Son.
They include the one on Bo urban area development until 2045, 20 zoning, and 12 on rural residential areas in communes.
This year, Hoa Binh province strives to have eight communes recognised as meeting new-style rural area standards and five communes satisfying exemplary new-style rural area standards. Since the beginning of the year, the provincial People's Committee has drastically directed the implementation of the national target programme on new-style rural area building to fulfil the set target.
Cao Phong district achieved positive socio-economic development results last year as drastic comprehensive measures were implemented with high determination of its whole political system, said the Secretary of the district Party Committee Ha Van Di.
