The Hoa Binh provincial People’s Committee has directed departments, sectors and localities to effectively carry out land policies and projects under the national target programme for socio-economic development in the mountainous and ethnic minority-inhabited areas so as to handle the shortages of housing, and residential and cultivation land in the province.
Bui Van Chien, a local resident in Bai hamlet in Kim Boi district’s Kim Lap commune receives financial support of 40 million VND (over 1,500 USD) to build his new house.
For the 2019-2020 period, more than 4 billion VND (over 158,500 USD) was allocated for the construction of water supply facilities and over 109 billion VND for the improvement of agricultural land and job changes, benefiting more than 18,000 local people.
Since 2021, the province has provided water supply and tanks for nearly 15,000 families and invested in 37 public water supply facilities. Particularly, the local administration launched a 450-day campaign to eradicate temporary and dilapidated houses for households with difficulties across the province.
According to Do Duy Sam, an official of the provincial Board of Ethnic Affairs, under the national target programme on sustainable poverty alleviation for the 2021-2025 period, the province outlined a plan to provide housing support worth over 77 billion VND for 2,157 families. To date, it completed the construction of houses for 1,122 families and repair of homes for 707 others.
Meanwhile, Hoa Binh also developed a plan to assist 3,807 families by mobilising resources from the national target programme for socio-economic development in the mountainous and ethnic minority-inhabited areas for 2020-2025.
Given more than 3,900 households in need of housing support, the Board of Ethnic Affairs will enhance inspection and supervision over the selection of beneficiaries and address difficulties and urgent needs of the poor and ethnic minority people in a timely manner.
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.
