(HBO) – People in Thuong Coc commune, Lac Son district, Hoa Binh province, have raised the sense of self-consciousness and self-management through many models. According to Bui Van Khanh, Secretary of the communal Party Committee, thanks to creativeness and joint efforts, Thuong Coc has become a bright spot in the district in new-style rural area building.

 


Through self-management models, the material and spiritual life of residents in Cao hamlet, Thuong Coc commune, Lac Son district, has been improved, contributing to new-style rural area building.

Among 98 households in Cao hamlet, the Muong ethnic minority group makes up 98 percent. Locals mainly earn their living through agriculture, while a handful of them shifted to business. Last year, they self-financed the installation of a lighting network, and tree planting along local roads, covering nearly 600m.

They have also supported each other in building walls around their houses, thus giving a facelift to the locality.

Such activities have been replicated in Me Com and Luong hamlets.

 

 

Since 2017 when the self-management model was piloted, residential areas in Thuong Coc commune have overhauled their communications work, encouraging locals to raise funds for the construction of lighting systems.

The standing board of the communal fatherland front has joined hands with its member organisations to popularise local self-management models at conferences and meeting in the residential areas. Besides, it helps the residential areas to evaluate the models, assess the roles of the fatherland front working group in integrating self-management models, while promoting the models within the families and residential areas.

To date, the commune has four outstanding models, including local residents joining hands to build hygienic latrines, build fence and gate, lighten rural roads, and develop inter-family self-management groups.

 

 


The model "Local people support one and others in building hygienic latrines” has received enthusiastic response from households in all 14 residential areas in the commune. Meanwhile the model to build fence and gate has been carried out in six residential areas.

Forty-eight inter-family self-management groups have operated effectively in all residential areas.

Bui Thi Quyen, head of Cao hamlet, said the models are practical for the community since they create a facelift to the residential areas while ensuring security and order in the locality.

The four models have been carried out in accordance with the campaign "the whole people promote solidarity to build new-style rural areas”, contributing to concretising advanced criteria of a new-style rural commune./.
