(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./.
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.
