(HBO) – Facing the small farmland area and land fragmentation, Lac Thuy district has promoted land consolidation to form concentrated and large-scaled production zones so as to facilitate production connectivity, science - technology application, mechanisation, and reorganisation of agricultural production.
After land consolidation, An Binh commune of Lac Thuy
district has been moving to mechanise agriculture.
Though An Binh is a remote commune of Lac Thuy
district, it has taken the lead in land consolidation and obtained initial
outcomes. In 2018, it piloted the work in five hamlets, namely Dong Bau, Dong
Rat, Tien Lu, Phu Tuong, and Roc In. The consolidation was expanded to Dong
Bong and Ninh Noi hamlets in 2019, raising the consolidated area to more than
179ha in seven hamlets. It was carried out successfully in Ninh Ngoai and Dai
Dong hamlets last year and continued on 100.5ha in the five remainders in 2021.
So far, all the hamlets across An Binh have conducted land consolidation
successfully.
Chairman of the communal People’s Committee
Quach Cong Muoi said to secure success in land consolidation, An Binh chose the
fields with many advantages and persuade locals there to carry out first in
order to encourage residents in other hamlets to support the policy.
He noted that the successful land consolidation
has addressed land fragmentation and abandonment while facilitating the
mechanisation of agriculture. In particular, it has created a basis for forming
concentrated production zones and applying scientific and technical advances.
The successful consolidation to improve people’s income and living conditions
is the best demonstration of the entire political system’s engagement in mass
mobilisation.
Localities used to encounter a number of
difficulties in land consolidation while some people didn’t support the policy.
However, thanks to local authorities’ strong efforts, patience to persuade
local residents, and implementation of uniform, flexible, and reality-matching
solutions, people have supported and taken part in the work.
Ngo Dinh Tam, head of the division for
agriculture and rural development of Lac Thuy district, said given the
practical benefits from land consolidation, in the time ahead, the district
will order localities to push ahead with the work to gain better effectiveness,
thereby creating an important basis for boosting production connectivity, farm
produce sales, agricultural development, people’s income, as well as the
new-style rural area building.
Lac Thuy is striving to consolidate over 735ha
of farmland in all the 10 communal-level localities in the 2021 - 2025 period,
he added./.
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.
