(HBO) - The Standing Board of the provincial Party Committee has just issued Resolution No. 20-NQ/TU orienting the development of Mai Chau township into a four-tier urban area to 2030.
Mai Chau township in the district of the same name will become a four-tier urban area by 2030.
The target will be realised on the basis of promoting existing potentials and strengths. The locality will preserve and promote cultural values while restructuring the economy towards increasing the proportion of trade - services and industry – construction. Agriculture will be developed in the direction of biotechnology, high quality and added value so as to turn Mai Chau township into a centre of tourism and service development of the province.
To achieve sustainable economic development, Mai Chau township will invest in building modern and synchronous infrastructure; reasonable labour structure, diversifying jobs, contributing to improving the people's material and spiritual life as well as ensuring national defence – security. The locality will build a strong political system, a contingent of cadres and civil servants with firm political spirit, professional skills and management capacity which meet the requirements of tasks in the new situation.
Implementing the resolution, from 2023 - 2025, the province will assist Mai Chau district in completing a project on adjustment and expansion of the general planning with a scale of 1/5000 for Mai Chau township by 2030, with a vision to 2040. The locality will effectively exploit available strengths, focusing on meeting criteria and standards of a four-tier urban area, especially building and upgrading the technical infrastructure network. From 2026 – 2030, attention will be paid to expanding the urban area to the north, south and southwest; developing new urban areas as well as completing technical and social infrastructure. It strives to be recognised as a four-tier urban area by 2030.
The total investment capital to realise the target is about 1.1 trillion VND (46.2 million USD). This sum of capital mainly comes from the provincial budget and mobilises from non-state budget sources.
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.
