(HBO) – When arriving in Luc 3 village, Yen Nghiep commune, Lac Son district of Bac Giang province and asking about Bui Van Vi, you can get the answer from anyone with admiration. Not only being a dynamic secretary of the local chapter of the Ho Chi Minh Communist Youth Union (HCM CYU), he is also a role model for young people in doing business, reaping success in his hometown.
After spending time researching and
learning from effective household economic models, in 2010, with the support of
the local HCM CYU chapter, he borrowed money to build a farm growing wood trees,
sugar cane and cassava combining with raising fish and pigs.
Bui Van Vi said he met many difficulties
at the start, due to a lack of experience and technique, and limited market. However,
he was undaunted and continued to learn by joining training courses on new
scientific and technological advances, and participating
in programmes organized by the HCM CYU to
visit effective economic models.
At present, his farm has expanded to
more than 3 hectares of fish pond, 7 hectares of ironwood forest, 2 hectares of
cassava, more than 1 hectare of purple sugarcane and a pig breeding farm.
According to Vi, his farm creates jobs for 10 young people in the village with
an income of 2.5 to 3 million VND per person per month. Subtracting the cost,
each year, he earns from 300 to 400 million VND.
At the end of 2017, Bui Van Vi from Yen Nghiep commune
of Lac Son (first, left) expanded the scale of the farm by growing native
chickens, increasing income for his family.
In order to persuade local youngsters to settle
down in the home village, over the past years, the provincial HCM CYU chapter has implemented many activities,
focusing on providing vocational guidance and training as well as job
introduction, thus helping young people to rise out of poverty and improve the
living conditions for their families, contributing to local economic
development. In addition, being aware that the biggest difficulty for young
people when starting a business is capital, during 2012- 2017, the HCM CYU chapters at all levels in the province
cooperated with the Vietnam Bank for Social Policies to help young households access
preferential loans.
Pham Thi Ngoc Anh, deputy head of the Committee
for Youth Solidarity and Assembling said that currently, HCM CYU chapters in the province have helped 24,000 young families access loans worth nearly
562 billion VND through 667 credit groups. The provincial HCM CYU chapter also lent over 1.1 billion VND from the HCM CYU Central Committee’s job creation
fund to 32 business projects of local young people./.
Every March, the spirit of volunteerism, dedication, and youthful enthusiasm surges across Vietnam. In Hoa Binh province, young people are actively taking on challenging tasks, contributing to meaningful projects, and upholding President Ho Chi Minh’s call: "where there is a need, there is youth; where there are difficulties, youth will be present."
The National Science and Engineering Fair for secondary and high school students was held at Ton Duc Thang University in Ho Chi Minh City from March 19-21 by the Ministry of Education and Training.
As women's participation in key leadership positions of Hoa Binh province is still modest while some women in rural and mountainous areas or from ethnic minorities face limited access to policies, the provincial Party Committee's Organisation Board has advised the provincial Party Committee's Standing Board to direct Party committees at all levels and localities to pay more attention to training female personnel and creating favourable conditions for women to take over leadership and management roles, thus addressing a shortage in the number of female cadres.
The Department of Education and Training of Hoa Binh province held a conference on March 18 to review the performance of the "Safe and Happy School" Project and set out tasks for 2025. The project, funded by the Taiwan Fund for Children and Families (TFCF), aims to create a safe, inclusive, and supportive learning environment for students. The event saw the attendance of representatives from the TFCF and 26 beneficiary schools.
With over 70% of their workers being women, trade unions across industrial parks (IPs) in Hoa Binh have been actively safeguarding their legal rights and interests while implementing initiatives to improve their income and well-being.
In recent years, the Hoa Binh provincial General Hospital has continuously innovated itself and improved the quality of medical services to meet the increasing needs of local people. With substantial investments in infrastructure and modern equipment, along with a team of highly qualified doctors and nurses, the hospital has gradually established itself as one of the leading medical units in the Northwestern region and a trusted destination for healthcare for people inside and outside the province.
