(HBO) – A working delegation from the Ministry of Planning and Investment led by Minister Nguyen Chi Dung, member of the Communist Party of Vietnam (CPV) Central Committee, visited locals in flood and landslide hit areas in Da Bac and Mai Chau districts on January 31 and February 1. Accompanied the delegation was Vice Secretary of the provincial Party Committee and Chairman of the provincial People’s Committee Nguyen Van Quang.
On February 1, Minister Nguyen Chi Dung
visited people in Vay Nua and Hien Luong communes in Da Bac district, which
were hardest hit by floods. The infrastructure in the areas was seriously
damaged while people are suffering a lot of hardship due to insufficient accommodation
and production land.
The Minister presented gift packages,
including cash, blankets, water filter machines to schools, and a television to
the cultural house in Lau Bai hamlet. He hoped local residents will continue
supporting the authority in resettlement and increase production. He wished
them a warm and happy Tet holiday. During the working trip, the ministry’s
trade unions presented a lot of gifts to people in flood hit areas.
Sharing difficulties of locals, Minister Nguyen Chi Dung recognised the efforts of local authorities in addressing flood
consequences, implementing resettlement, and improving production and living
standards for residents.
On the occasion, the Minister presented
300 million VND to the local fund to poor people.
The Minister later inspected some key
facilities in Da Bac and Mai Chau districts and examined the construction of
Road 433, resettlement areas, poverty reduction and fish raising models.
He took note of proposals of local
authorities and people to implement more assistance policies. Earlier on
January 31, the Minister visited locals in Phuc San commune, Mai Chau district.
Minister of Planning and Investment Nguyen Chi Dung and Chairman of the
provincial People’s Committee Nguyen Van Quang visited and presented gifts to
people in a resettlement area in Hien Luong commune, Da Bac district.
Minister Nguyen Chi Dung presented 300 million VND to the local fund to
support needy people.
Over recent years, the Farmers' Union of Mai Chau district has implemented numerous specific programmes and activities to support its members in developing products under the One Commune One (OCOP) programme. These efforts have contributed to enhancing local agricultural branding, increasing goods value, and improving incomes and living standards for residents.
Since 2022, the Hoa Binh Department of Education and Training has provided advice for the provincial People's Committee to issue Plan No. 219/KH-UBND on November 17, 2022, which outlines the implementation of a project titled "Enhancing the application of Information Technology (IT) and Digital Transformation in Education and Training for the 2022–2025 period, with a vision to 2030.” As of now, the local education sector has made significant progress in IT adoption and digital transformation.
Hoa Binh allocated over 30 trillion VND (nearly 1.18 billion USD) to develop infrastructure systems in ethnic minority and mountainous areas during 2019 - 2024. Priority was given to transport and irrigation infrastructure; markets; schools; medical stations; communal houses; and power grid, telecommunication, radio, and television systems.
The Hoa Binh provincial organising committee for anniversary activities on December 17 held a ceremony to unveil a ceramic mural on the local military-civilian ties and release a book on the Party and political work of the provincial armed forces during 1947 – 2024, in commemoration of the 80th anniversary of the Vietnam People’s Army (VPA) and 35th anniversary of the All-People Defence Festival.
In recent years, Hoa Binh has allocated significant resources to foster cooperative economy, helping ethnic minorities capitalise on their potential and advantages to escape poverty.
As a mountainous district still facing numerous challenges, Da Bac has made notable progress in advancing administrative reforms across various areas. The district has prioritised reorganising and streamlining its administrative apparatus, operating "one-stop-shop” units, and applying information technology (IT) in the handling of administrative procedures. Efforts have also been directed toward upgrading infrastructure and equipment to enhance service quality for residents and businesses.
