(HBO) – Tan Lac district on March 5 received cement donated by producers in Hoa Binh province as support for the new-style rural area building in Ngo Luong commune. The presentation ceremony was attended by Bui Van Tinh, member of the Party Central Committee and Secretary of the provincial Party Committee; Hoang Van Tu, Vice Chairman of the provincial People’s Council; Bui Van Cuu, Vice Chairman of the provincial People’s Committee; and Bui Thi Thanh, former Vice President of the Vietnam Fatherland Front Central Committee.
Bui Van Tinh, member of the Party Central
Committee and Secretary of the provincial Party Committee, and other delegates
at the ceremony receiving 1,000 tonnes of cement donated to the new-style rural
area building in Ngo Luong commune, Tan Lac district.
Ngo Luong, about 30km from the centre of Tan Lac
district, is among the most disadvantaged communes of Hoa Binh province. Local
residents depend mainly on agricultural production for their livelihoods. Per
capita income remains low, 20 million VND (nearly 870 USD) in 2019.
Over the past years, thanks to assistance by the
State, Programme 135, the district’s poverty reduction project and support
projects of non-governmental organisations, the local socio-economic situation
has been improved considerably. However, transport infrastructure is still a
conundrum hampering socio-economic development and new-style rural area
building in the commune. So far, Ngo Luong has just met 10 of the 19 new-style
countryside criteria.
In response to the appeal made by the Secretary
of the provincial Party Committee, three cement manufacturers in Hoa Binh
supported the commune with 1,000 tonnes of cement to upgrade local roads to
help facilitate people’s daily activities and the new-style rural area
building. In particular, the Binh Minh Construction and Tourism Group JSC
assisted Ngo Luong with 500 tonnes, the X18 Cement JSC 250 tonnes, and the Vinh
Son Cement Co. Ltd 250 tonnes.
At the ceremony, Bui Van Tinh, member of the
Party Central Committee and Secretary of the provincial Party Committee, noted
the Party organisation, administration and people of Ngo Luong commune have
always kept united and made efforts to shape a life of comfort and happiness.
In 1985, the commune was granted with the "Hero of Education” title by the
State President.
Despite economic difficulties, local authorities
and residents have joined hands in developing a new-style rural area. However,
due to limited resources, the work has yet to reap expected outcomes, he said.
The official described the businesses’ support
of 1,000 tonnes of cement as greatly helpful to promoting the commune’s
new-style rural area building, adding that the event held to receive the
support was an acknowledgement of the businesses from the provincial, district
and communal authorities.
He expressed his hope that companies will
continue assisting remote and disadvantaged communes to upgrade roads so as to
serve people’s daily life and socio-economic development in the province./.
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.

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.
