The Hoa Binh People's Committee on January 8 issued Plan No. 02/KH-UBND outlining the local implementation of the national target programme for new-style rural development for 2024.

Thanks to resources mobilised, roads of Tan Tien hamlet in Dong
Tam commune, Lac Thuy district, have been concretised and expanded.
The plan sets forth ambitious objectives, aiming to achieve
the recognition of six, two, and one additional communes meeting the normal,
advanced, and model standards for new-style rural building, respectively. The
average new-style rural criteria are set at 16.3 criteria per commune.
Additionally, the plan calls for the standardisation of over
16 One Commune, One Product (OCOP) items, each achieving a rating of three
stars or above. Emphasis will also be placed on completing essential
infrastructure projects, meeting the production and living requirements of
rural residents for transport, irrigation, electricity, domestic water supply,
schools, and health care. Other targets are to improve the quality of life for
rural inhabitants and establish multiple production models linked to stable
employment for the locals.
The total capital to be mobilised for the programme
implementation this year exceeds 2.9 trillion VND (118.51 million USD). The sum
includes 161.706 trillion VND sourced from the central budget, 214.445 trillion
VND from provincial and district budgets, and 2 trillion VND worth of credit
capital.
The provincial People's Committee has outlined 11 key tasks
and solutions to ensure the effective and quality execution of the programme.
Regarding Task Number 11, which focuses on diversifying and efficiently
utilising resources, the body has directed localities to proactively allocate a
portion of their resources from local budgets to support new-style rural
development efforts, with appropriate mechanisms devised to mobilise diverse
funding sources beyond the state budget.
Local people across Hoa Binh province enjoyed the festive spirit of the 2025 Lunar New Year (Tet) with joy, cultural traditions, and heartfelt family gatherings.
During this Lunar New Year (Tet), residents of Vay Nua commune, Da Bac district are joyfully celebrating the arrival of spring with various festive activities. Along the main road of the commune, a newly installed solar-powered streetlight system stands out, completed just before Tet. Funded by Agribank Hoa Binh with a total investment of approximately 80 million VND (over 3,100 USD), the project has already proven beneficial. Not only does it enhance the rural landscape, but it also improves road safety and security, adding to the New Year’s cheer for the people of Vay Nua.
Nestled in Tan Lac district, Van Son commune boasts a breathtaking landscape reminiscent of a serene, poetic painting. Winding roads gracefully embrace the hillsides, enhancing the commune’s natural charm. As spring spreads its vibrant colours, the lives of local people continue to improve day by day.
The trade union of Hoa Binh province’s industrial parks has presented meaningful gifts to workers with difficulties, ensuring that they will have a warm Lunar New Year (Tet) holiday.
According to the Department of Agriculture and Rural Development's report, in 2024, the appropriate authorities regularly propagated and disseminated forest protection management, forest development, and forest fire prevention and fighting.
The Lunar New Year, At Ty, 2025 is approaching. The gardeners in the peach growing area of Toan Son commune (Da Bac) are busy transporting, bringing spring to every home.
