Nguyen Xuan Thuy, Vice Chairman of the commune
People's Committee, said that identifying the building of new-style rural areas
is a key task of the entire political system, right from the beginning of this
year, the local Party Committee and People's Committee have issued documents to
direct, manage, and disseminate related documents issued by higher-level agencies
among officials, Party members, and people. Through the leadership, direction,
and management of the Party Committee and authorities, the Fatherland Front,
and socio-political organisations, the awareness of officials, Party members,
and people of the work has been raised.
The economic structure has shifted towards a
greater share of small-scale industries and handicrafts, and trade and
services, while agriculture's contribution has gradually declined. At the same
time, the commune has focused on mobilising resources to build social
infrastructure works.

Education has been given due attention, with the
rate of students completing primary education and graduating from secondary
school reaching 100%, while all schools in the locality meet national
standards.
Attention has been also paid to primary health
care for people at the grassroots level. The disease prevention and control and
sanitation programme, the national expanded immunisation programme, and
dissemination on food hygiene and safety have been seriously and effectively
implemented. Medical examination and treatment at the commune health station is
guaranteed, and the annual natural population growth rate is kept at below 1%.
As a result, the commune has been recognised as meeting national health
standards.
In addition, local people have actively
responded to the "All people unite to build new-style rural areas and civilised
urban areas” movement. The rate of cultural families reaches over 90% annually,
helping the commune win the recognition of the district People's Committee as
meeting culture-related criteria of new-style rural area building.
Under the leadership of the Party Committee, the
direction of the People's Committee, the engagement of the Fatherland Front
Committee and socio-political organisations, and the joint efforts and
consensus of the people, Ngoc Luong basically meets the criteria of an advanced
new-style rural commune. It is currently completing a dossier to seek the
authorities' recognition as an advanced new-style rural area this year.
