(HBO) – As one of the 11 communes selected by the provincial authorities to be the models in implementing the national target programme on new-style rural area building in Hoa Binh province, Dong Tam commune of Lac Thuy district has fulfilled the set targets and is among the first communes in Hoa Binh to earn the status of new-style rural area.
There are six farms earning an annual income of between 500
million VND (over 21,400 USD) and 1 billion VND in Dong Tam commune (Lac Thuy
district).
The landscape in Dong Tam is changing day to day.
Particularly, all roads linking hamlets and villages and half of the roads
traversing fields in the commune have been paved with concrete, while five of
the nine local reservoirs and dykes have been repaired. That has facilitated
daily and production activities of local residents.
The commune currently houses 16 projects with
total investment capital of nearly 70 billion VND. They operate in animal
husbandry, herbal plant cultivation, forestry product processing, and plastics
and package production.
Notably, thanks to the improved public awareness
of environmental protection, local people have reached consensus about the
building of a waste treatment factory in Dong Phu hamlet, thus facilitating
ground clearance for the factory.
Craft industries and services, including
construction material production, forestry product processing, food processing,
mechanics and transportation, have been encouraged to develop, providing jobs
for more than 400 people with an average monthly per capita income of 5 million
VND.
At present, 229 households in Dong Tam are
joining in a plan on renovating poor-performing gardens with a total area of
223ha. They have invested in family- and large-scaled farms to develop bee
keeping, the raising of wild boar and goat and aquatic farming. There are six
farms with an annual income of between 500 million VND and 1 billion VND in
Dong Tam commune at present.
Additionally, the agricultural restructuring
plan has been actively carried out in the direction of forming value chains to
improve local farm produce’s added value. A project on safe vegetable
production chain is also being implemented on 2ha of field in Tan Tien hamlet.
Meanwhile, 10 households of Dong Tam are taking part in a safe chicken farming
project, producing 10,000 chickens each batch./.
After three years of implementing the Politburo’s Conclusion No. 01-KL/TW on continuing performing Directive 05-CT/TW on enhancing the learning and studying of President Ho Chi Minh’s thought, moral example and lifestyle, Lac Thuy district of Hoa Binh province has discovered many effective models and practices, creating a spillover effect in the local community, helping to develop a clean and strong Party Organisation meeting the requirements in the new situation.
The Hoa Binh Elderly Association and the provincial Department of Labour, Invalids and Social Affairs on May 7 held a working session with a visiting delegation from the Japanese Embassy and sponsors of a local project on reducing senior citizens’ income and health vulnerabilities in Vietnam (VIE071).
Seventy years have passed, but the memories of the Dien Bien Phu campaign in 1954 have never faded in the mind of veteran Ly Van Ngoan from Dong Tien hamlet, Phu Thanh commune, Lac Thuy district.
Over recent times, in Mai Chau district, there have been many typical examples of studying and following President Ho Chi Minh's ideology, ethics, and lifestyle in all aspects of the social life, contributing to successfully implementing the tasks of socio-economic development, and ensuring social welfare and defence and security in the locality.
