(HBO) - Criteria No. 17 related to the environment was identified by Lac Son district as important content, especially for communes striving to meet new rural standards. To achieve the target, it is necessary to mobilise the participation of the whole political system, agencies, business community and the people.
The Women's Union of Van Son commune
(Lac Son District) calls on its members of Loi Muong hamlet to collect and
treat domestic waste at the right place.
This year, the district will continue to promote dissemination to enhance
awareness of the people, authorities and mass organisations.
People are encouraged to take measures to clean the environment in their
residential areas, along with the mobilization of the private sector in
environmental protection and investing in the construction of a centralised
waste treatment area among communes. The "All people unite to build a
cultural life" movement is carried out along with the realisation of
village conventions on rural environmental protection. People are
encouraged to lead a civilised life and cultural family as well as develop
production and animal husbandry in association with environmental protection.
Bui Thanh Tung, Vice Chairman of the district People's Committee, said the
district focuses on disseminating legal documents to fulfil criteria No 17 and
new rural buildings in the management of environmental protection. Businesses,
production and business establishments in the area are facilitated in the
observation of environmental protection regulations.
Up to now, the rate of households using hygienic and clean water has reached 98
percent. The percentage of businesses, aquatic farms and craft villages that
meet regulations on environmental protection is 65 percent. Solid waste and
wastewater in residential areas, production and business establishments have
been collected and treated in line with regulations.
Implementing environmental criteria No. 17, the district has 75 percent of
households with hygienic toilets. Seven out of 24 communes are assessed to
satisfy the criteria for waste treatment. Seven communes have fulfilled the
criteria set for new-style rural areas. The district is striving to have
two more communes meeting the criteria by the end of this year, namely Tan Lap
and Yen Phu.
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.
