Nhuan Trach commune, Luong Son district, recently earned recognition from the People's Committee of Hoa Binh province for achieving the advanced criteria of the national new rural development programme in 2023. This success stemmed from innovative approaches, unified support from local authorities and residents, and a continued push for excellence.
Hoang Trong Thu, head of Dong Se hamlet, Nhuan Trach commune, Luong Son district, takes the lead in establishing model gardens in the area.
A visit to Nhuan Trach today reveals a transformed rural landscape. The program has brought about significant economic and cultural improvements for the community.
Proactive investment in infrastructure has been a cornerstone of the commune's progress. Upgraded rural transport with concrete and asphalt roads, lined with verdant trees, not only improves convenience but also preserves the area's rural charm.
Hoang Van Bay, Vice Chairman of the communal People's Committee, highlighted the financial contributions from businesses and residents, amounting to 69% of the total funds raised for the exemplary new rural development programme since its launch. The remaining funds came from national, provincial, and district budgets, along with other sources.
Last year, the average income per capita in the area reached 69 million VND. Effective business models like free-range chicken farming, arrowroot starch production, beef cattle raising, and ornamental plant cultivation are flourishing in different hamlets. Today, all hamlets in the commune qualify as model residential areas, boasting 16 established model gardens and zero impoverished households.
Education and training haven't been neglected either, with a focus on improving the quality of teaching and learning in schools.
Nhuan Trach has also embraced technological advancements by launching smart village models. Suoi Sey A hamlet exemplifies this initiative, with security cameras installed along traffic routes and locally produced goods promoted through e-commerce platforms.
With the participation of the whole local political system, Nhuan Trach has completed criteria on exemplary new rural commune in education. Their ongoing efforts to enhance the quality of life and ensure sustainable development promise a bright future for the commune, with the goal of achieving an exemplary new rural commune status soon.
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.

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.
