(HBO) - The mountainous commune of Muong Chieng has been given a facelift thanks to the concerted effort of local authorities and people in implementing patriotism emulation campaigns.

The campaigns have been intensified across
all spheres, including building the cultural life, economic development, and
poverty reduction. Meanwhile, the Government’s investment and locals’ support
have helped the commune achieve practical outcomes in new-style rural building.
Muong Chieng has scattered population density
and uneven intellectual levels. It has successfully used communications
campaigns to mobilise the people’s resources in new-style rural building, with
locals donating land, trees, and working days.
By the end of 2019, the commune met all 19
criteria of the new-style rural area, with its per capital income reaching 32
million VND (1,373 USD), up nearly 10 million VND from 2018. To date, all local
residents have access to clean water and electricity, while the rate of trained
rural workers that secure stable jobs hit 91 percent.
As a result of economic restructuring and
income increase, the local husbandry sector have developed significantly. For
example, Xa Van Tuyen and Ha Van Hiep in Chieng Cang with their model of
raising pigs each earned 120 million VND per year, while Bui Van Thuong, who
raise buffalos reeled in over 100 million VND annually. Therefore, the rate of
poor households in Muong Chieng dropped to under 12 percent last year from 22.4
percent in 2018.
The commune also posted progresses in
education, health, culture, security-defence, and Party building./.
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.
