(HBO) - The urbanisation rate in Hoa Binh province had reached 25 percent as of the end of the first quarter of 2020, according to the provincial Department of Construction.
Despite
being invested, the influence of Hoa Binh city on the Northwestern region and the
Hanoi capital region is not much. Hoa Binh city has yet to uphold its role as centre
city in the region.
This
is the result of implementing Resolution No. 830/NQ-UBTVQH14 on arranging district-
and commune-level administrative units.
Accordingly, the whole natural area of 20,492ha with a population of 34,044 of Ky
Son district was merged into Hoa Binh city. Three new wards were established, turning
Hoa Binh city into an administrative unit with 10 wards and nine communes.
Luong
Son district was recognised as the locality meeting the criteria for the fourth-grade urban area by the Ministry of
Construction.
The urban population of Da Bac town increased by 2,125 people after
a part of Tu Ly commune was merged, while the entire natural area and
population of Ha Bi and Kim Binh communes were merged to Bo town (Kim Boi
district)./.
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.
