Over the past years, the awareness and sense of responsibility of officials, Party members and residents in Ky Son district towards the new-style rural area building programme have improved considerably.
The "ca gai leo” (Solanum procumbens) farming and processing
model in Phu Minh commune, Ky Son district, has generated high economic
effects.
In 2018, the district mobilised about 24.1
billion VND (over 1 million USD) for the implementation of the national target
programme on new-style rural area building. That included over 11.4 billion VND
from the central budget, 10.56 billion VND from associated programmes’ funding,
and 2.12 billion VND donated by local residents.
With that funding, communes in Ky Son have
strived to meet the criteria for cultural, healthcare and educational
infrastructure. Many facilities like the electricity network, roads, schools,
clinics and cultural centres have been upgraded, giving a facelift to rural
areas.
Residents have joined hands in cleaning up roads
and dredging canals. They have also donated more than 14,180 sq.m. of land for
building roads and other rural infrastructure facilities.
Meanwhile, local communes have successfully
developed effective agricultural models like citrus tree, cucumber and cage
fish farming ones.
Ky Son district has actively carried out the
agricultural restructuring plan so as to boost the sector’s sustainable
development. In particular, it has promoted production-distribution
connectivity under value chains, attracted investment to rural areas, supported
the growth of the farm and collective economy, and assisted farmers to access
technical advances.
In 2019, the district chose three products under
the "One commune, one product” programme to boost production, namely bee honey,
cellophane noodles, and "dinh lang” (Polyscias fruticosa) wine.
As a result, improvements have been recorded in
the new-style rural area building. While the material and spiritual lives of
local residents have been improved, rural areas have gained a facelift. In
2018, the household poverty rate in Ky Son fell to 6.03 percent, and the
average per capita income in its nine communes reached 32 million VND./.
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.
