(HBO) - The People’s Committee of northern Hoa Binh province has organised a teleconference to review the implementation of the national target programme on new-style rural area building in the first quarter of this year, and put forth tasks and solutions for the second quarter.
In 2020, more than
720 billion VND (30.6 million USD) sourced from the State budget will be
allocated for the new-style area building programme in Hoa Binh.
To date, 88 out of 191 communes (46 percent) in
Hoa Binh province have been recognised as new-style rural areas. After the
merger of administrative units, 53 out of 131 communes (40.5 percent) have won
the status.
In the time ahead, the programme will focus on
enhancing the communication work to raise public awareness of new-style rural
area building, intensifying leadership and improving the operational quality of
all-level steering boards and coordination offices for new-style rural area
building.
At the same time, stepping up production will go
in tandem with agricultural restructuring, rural economic transformation and
improving income and living standards of rural residents.
Concluding the conference, Vice Chairman of the
provincial People’s Committee Nguyen Van Dung, said Hoa Binh expects to have
seven more communes recognised as new-style rural areas in 2020.
Especially, Da Bac district has two communes
that are likely to win the recognition beyond the province's plan. Therefore,
authorised agencies should allocate mid-term capital to new-style rural area
building for the two communes.
Meanwhile, localities need to step up production
in combination with restructuring the agriculture and developing the "One Commune,
One Product” model, while seeking new varieties for major plants in order to
improve their quality to serve the Hanoi market, he added./.

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.
