Thanh Ha town of Lac Thuy district is a hi-tech agricultural production model,
helping create jobs and stable incomes for a dozen of local labourers.
Stories of people who donated money and land
for building roads and communal houses are no longer new in Hoa Binh. Visiting
new-style rural communes now, we can easily hear local residents talk about how
to do business and improve the living standard. The consensus and unity among locals to
support each other in reducing poverty and getting rich demonstrate the effectiveness
of new-style rural development in Hoa Binh.
In both communes that have already met all criteria in the National Target
Programme on New Rural Development (NTP-NRD) or those which are still striving
to be recognised as new-style rural areas, basing on the planning of concentrated production areas, the
localities have implemented many models and projects for production development
and vocational training; and promoted the transfer of science and technology to
help local farmers expand commodity-scale production.
So far,
Hoa Binh has 51 communes recognised as new style rural areas. On average, the province’s communes have
fulfilled 12.62 criteria. No commune met less
than 7 criteria.
The rural areas have got a complete
facelift, and gradually developed in line with the plan, with 100 percent of
communes in the province completing the overall development plan and the
production development plan. Locals’ living standards have been better.
The achievements in agriculture production
and new-style rural development have created remarkable, basic and
comprehensive changes in terms of politics, socio-economy, quality of life and the
environment in rural areas.
The material and spiritual life of people living in rural areas have improved remarkably.
Average income per capita in rural areas in 2018 is estimated at 24.8 million
VND; the rate of poor household has dropped to over 21 percent.
The work of public health has shown great progress
as the quality of medical examination and treatment has been improved. All communal
medical stations in the province have doctors.
Cultural institutions, educational facilities and socio-economic infrastructure
systems have received investment, resulting in improved quality and efficiency
of their operation./.
