(HBO) – With great determination, tenacious efforts and innovative mind, Hoa Binh province has reaped significant results in implementing the national target programme on building new-style rural areas in the 2010-20, despite unfavourable start.

The province is among leading localities nationwide in building new-style rural areas, as it was awarded the third-class Labour Order for its outstanding achievements in the 10-year implementation of the programme.

Leaders of the Department of Agriculture and Rural Development survey a model of production development in combination with new-style rural building in Lac Son district.

Ten years ago, the programme on building new-style rural areas began in the province, with just two communes meeting 10 criteria. Meanwhile, 124 communes fulfilled less than five criteria, and on average each commune met 4.4 criteria. Some criteria remained difficult to satisfy, such as transportation, irrigation, school and number of poor households.

Thanks to firm determination, the whole political system strived to fulfil targets of building new-style rural areas. Even Da Bac, the most disadvantaged mountainous district of the province, has made appropriate steps for no one left behind.

After a decade, various measures were adopted to remove bottlenecks in the implementation of the programme.

Rural infrastructure has been upgraded, along with production and life quality. The political system has operated effectively and living conditions of rural residents have improved remarkably.

In 2019, per capita income in the rural areas was over 32 million VND (1,385 USD) per annum, rising by 23.7 million VND compared to that in 2011. The rate of poor households in the areas stayed at about 14.28 percent, a decline of 17.23 percent from 2011.

At the end of last year, the province had no commune meeting less than 10 criteria, while each commune fulfiled 15.1 criteria on average. As many as 88 out of 191 communes have been recognised as new-style rural areas, or 46 percent of the total, surpassing targets in the Resolution of the 16th Congress of the provincial Party Organisation.

Hoa Binh city has completed the programme while Luong Son district has finished its dossier to seek the Prime Minister’s recognition as a new-style rural district. Those are impressive accomplishments during the 10-year "revolution” in building new-style rural areas, which help the province move towards higher goals, contributing to its comprehensive socio-economic development./.
