(HBO) - Over the years, all-level Party committees and authorities in Luong Son district have succeeded in the implementation of grassroots democracy regulations, creating a high consensus among locals. In particular, at the communal and township level, people can exercise their right to mastership in many activities, ensuring the motto "People know, people discuss, people do, people monitor, people benefit".
The "one-stop shop" unit of Luong
Son town (Luong Son district) lists full administrative procedures and steps,
making it easy for people to complete their paperwork and ensuring democracy at
the grassroots level.
Luong Son town is the administrative centre of the district in
terms of politics, administration, economy and culture – society. It is densely
populated with a higher standard of living compared to the general level of the
district.
Hoang Viet Hai, Secretary of the town's Party Committee said all administrative
procedures are listed at the one-stop-shop unit so that it is easy for people
to follow. In addition, the town also publicly announced and consulted people
about socio-economic development plans as well as the construction of basic
infrastructure projects.
Besides Luong Son town, other localities have also effectively carried out the
democratic regulations at the grassroots level, especially in new-style rural
buildings such as Tan Vinh, Cao Son and Lam Son communes.
People of Dong Tien hamlet, Tan Vinh commune have donated more than 2,000 sq.m
of land to the commune People's Committee to build a new headquarter and a
communal house. People in Lam Son commune have contributed over 31 billion VND
(1.3 million USD) for the new-style rural area building programme.
There are boxes placed at the headquarters of communes and towns’ people’s
committees to collect people’s complaints, ensuring their rights are
guaranteed.
Every month, the Secretary of the Party Committee and the Chairman of the
People's Committee of the communes and townships hold dialogues with citizens
and promptly settle their complaints and denunciations. Since the beginning of
the year, the People's Committees of communes and townships have received 183
petitions. Of these, 133 petitions have been handled and the rest are being
processed.
Currently, the district has 11 People's Inspection Boards of communes and
townships with 77 members. It also has 61 groups in charge of supervising
community investment with 427 regular members. These boards have
effectively carried out supervision and detected violations of organisations
and individuals. They have coordinated with the authorities and relevant
agencies to reveal violations in law enforcement at the grassroots level and
the implementation of investment projects in the locality, thereby, positively
contributing to the fight against corruption and negative phenomena, promoting
the people's rights and participating in State management.
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.
