(HBO) – The Luong Son district People’s Committee has held a ceremony marking the recognition of Tan Vinh commune as a new-style rural area. The event was attended by Vice Chairman of Hoa Binh provincial People’s Council Hoang Van Tu.
When it began
new-style countryside building efforts in 2011, Tan Vinh met only four of the
19 criteria. In the eight years through 2018, almost 91 billion VND (3.9
million USD) was raised for the work, including over 11.9 billion VND
contributed by local people.
The recognition came as local infrastructure has
been upgraded, giving a facelift to this rural area. While progress has been
seen in agricultural production along with cultural and social aspects, social
security has been ensured, and political security and social order and safety
kept stable.
Vice
Chairman of the Hoa Binh People’s Council Hoang Van Tu presents the new-style
rural area certificate in 2018 to authorities and people of Tan Vinh commune.
Tan Vinh commune currently houses a flower
farming cooperative group, an agricultural and irrigation cooperative and a
clean food cooperative which altogether have helped provide jobs for and
improve income of local residents.
The average annual per capita income rose from
11 million VND in 2011 to 26.2 million VND in 2017. The household poverty rate
in Tan Vinh was brought down to 5.3 percent in 2017. While more than 75 percent
of the total families have been recognised as civilized families, over 95
percent of the households have gained access to safe water. Local residents
have also actively joined hands to ensure a green, clean and beautiful living
environment.
Recognising the Tan Vinh administration and
people’s efforts, the Hoa Binh provincial People’s Committee certified the
commune as a new-style rural area and rewarded it with a public facility worth
400 million VND.
On this occasion, the Luong Son district
People’s Committee also presented merit certificates to seven collectives and
20 individuals with excellent achievements in new-style rural area building in
Tan Vinh commune./.
Maximizing local potential and advantages, Yen Tri commune in Yen Thuy district is actively promoting the cultivation of medicinal herbs and turning medicinal herbs into One Commune - One Product (OCOP) products.
Situated at the gateway to the Northwest, Hoa Binh province has a population of over 900,000, including about 540,000 of working age. It is home to 6,000 businesses and production facilities, providing employment for over 100,000 workers. The remaining workforce is engaged in informal jobs, works in enterprises outside the province, or contributes to agro-forestry-fisheries. Additionally, around 3,000 workers are employed abroad.
The Hoa Binh provincial People's Committee has issued Decision No. 2767/QD-UBND announcing the rankings of departments, agencies, districts and Hoa Binh city in the Public Administration Reform Index (PAR) and the Satisfaction Index of Public Administration Services (SIPAS) in 2024.
The cultivation of Dam Xanh fish (Bangana lemassoni), a unique fish species, has seen remarkable growth in Mai Chau district, thanks to its high economic value and effectiveness. Initially concentrated in Van Mai commune, farming has now extended to four other communes, namely Mai Hich, Mai Ha, Chieng Chau, and Son Thuy. These areas benefit from pristine underground water flowing from mountain crevices, providing ideal conditions for raising this specialty fish.
In 2024, the total state budget revenue of Hoa Binh Province is estimated at approximately VND 6,930 billion, achieving 183% of the Government’s target, 126% of the target assigned by the Provincial People's Council, and 145% compared to the same period last year.
