(HBO) – Capitalising on local socio-economic strengths, the Party organisation, authorities and people of Thach Yen commune, which is home to Cao Phong – Thach Yen revolutionary base, have made efforts to promote the building of new-style rural areas, helping create a facelift to the locality.
Investments have been made to develop
socio-economic infrastructure in Thach Yen commune, Cao Phong district.
According to Bui Minh Anh, former Secretary of
the Party organisation of Thach Yen commune, Cao Phong – Thach Yen is one of
the four revolutionary bases of Hoa Binh province, which belongs to the
Hoa-Ninh-Thanh revolutionary zone. It was recognised as a national historical
relic site by the Ministry of Culture and Information in 1996.
In late 1944, the regional Party Committee of
Bac Ky assigned Vu Tho to the region to popularise the nation’s revolution
among local ethnic communities, which paved the way for the establishment of
the Cao Phong – Thach Yen revolutionary base. In July 1945, Tho selected 30
young, tough and enthusiastic militiamen for military training courses in Cao
Phong – Thach Yen region.
On August 23, 1945, the delegation of the Cao
Phong – Thach Yen base coordinated with the army in Lac Son to enter Phuong
Lam, joining revolutionary forces in the whole province to seize power from the
enemy.
Over the years, upholding the revolutionary
tradition, the Party organisation, administration and locals of Thach Yen and
Hop Phong communes have bolstered solidarity to optimise the localities’
potentials and advantages to boost socio-economic development, improve locals’
living conditions, and ensure security and order.
Travel has been made easier for local residents
as roads have been concretised, while farmers are enjoying bumper crops of
fruits.
The commune has paid due heed to developing
culture, education and health care, with three out of the four schools meeting
the national standard at the first level, local medical station meeting
national standard, and more than 70% of households granted the title "cultured
families”.
Vice Chairman of the communal People’s Committee
Bui Van Hau said local livelihoods have been improved, and social security
maintained over the past time.
Thach Yen sees its economy grow 13.85%, and per
capita income reach 26 million VND (1,078 USD) a year. As the commune has met
15 out of the 19 new style rural area criteria, it is working to complete the
task of the new-style rural area building by 2024.
On May 15, the Hoa Binh Steering Committee for Science, Technology, Innovation, and Digital Transformation launched the "Digital Literacy for All” movement. The event was held both in-person and virtually, connecting provincial authorities with district-level Party committees and local communities across communes, wards, and townships.
The People’s Committee of Hoa Binh province on May 16 held a conference to honour outstanding intellectuals for their contributions in 2025.
The Standing Board of the Hoa Binh provincial Party Committee has held a conference to announce the provincial Party Committee’s decision about the merger of Hoa Binh Newspaper and the provincial Radio and Television Station, along with the Standing Board’s appointment decisions.
After the historic victory on April 30, 1975, which liberated the South and reunified the country, the whole Vietnam embarked on a new mission — promoting peace and reconstructing the nation with century-defining projects. On the fierce Da River, over 30,000 engineers, sappers, and construction workers battled against rocky mountains and raging floods to achieve a remarkable feat. The Hoa Binh Hydropower Plant, the largest of its kind in Southeast Asia at that time, officially began generating electricity, lighting up the North and ushering in a new era of industrialisation.
Muong Dong in Kim Boi district, one of the four major Muong regions in Hoa Binh province, is harnessing its revolutionary legacy and cultural heritage to drive socio-economic transformation.
Throughout April, the joyful atmosphere of the 50th anniversary of the Liberation of the South and National Reunification spread nationwide. Together with the whole country, residents in Hoa Binh city also expressed their patriotism through meaningful and practical actions.
