(HBO) - Thanh Ha village in Luong Son district’s Thanh Son commune has been recognised as a model new-style rural area. Coming to the village, we were impressed by the local hospitality, and clean and beautiful landscape.
Thanh Ha residents grow flowers along the sides
of the road to create a clean, beautiful and green landscape.
Tran Duc Manh, head of the village said this year Thanh Ha was honoured as it was selected
for building a model new-style rural area.
The village’s Party cell has paid special
attention to mass mobilisation and public communications work from the beginning,
he said, adding that the cell had assigned Party members to persuade each
family to participate in implementing criteria of a model new-style rural area.
As a result, local residents have joined in planting flowers along 1,000 m of
roads and concretising 1.5 km of roads.
The work has created a driving force for locals
to shakeup the structure of their crops and husbandry, apply technologies, and
replace low-value trees in their gardens with citrus trees which produce higher
economic value. Of the total 136 households in the village, 123 have renovated their
gardens. The village currently has nearly 90 hectares of citrus trees, with a
local garden of Tran Duc Hung and his family recognised as a model garden. In 2020,
the average per capita income of the village is estimated at 41 million VND
(1,775 USD), with no households rated as poor. Thanh Ha has seen 84.6 percent
of its households obtaining the cultural family tittle. The village has sustained
the title of cultural village since 2010.
The village has also focused on creating a green, clean, and beautiful landscape. All 136 households have access to hygienic drinking water. Among
101 households engaging in animal raising, 93 have built barns meeting environmental sanitation standards. Locals are now aware of the classification and treatment of
waste, while the local road system has drainage ditches. The discharge of garbage and pesticide bottles into rivers and streams is strictly
prohibited, while once a week, all villagers join
in cleaning the entire village./.

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.
