(HBO) – An Nghia commune of Lac Son district in the northern province of Hoa Binh has been recognised as a new-style rural area.


Bui Van Dung, a resident in Vo hamlet of An Nghia commune (Lac Son district), has invested in farming orange to raise his family’s income.


To carry out the national target programme on building new-style rural areas between 2011 and 2017, An Nghia commune has encouraged local residents to engage in a movement named "An Nghia commune joins hands in building new-style rural areas”.

Both local officials and people have actively donated land to expand rural roads. More than 41km of roads in the commune have been concreted.

The local irrigation system, including five reservoirs and dams, one pumping station and main canals, has been developed, thus ensuring water supply for 83 percent of the commune’s farmland area.


The developed power system has ensured that all households get access to electricity. Meanwhile, local kindergartens and primary and secondary schools have also been upgraded.

All hamlets in An Nghia now have their own cultural and sport centres. In 2017, a new cultural centre with over 200 seats and a sport arena of the commune was built, helping to satisfy local demand for cultural and sports activities.

Infrastructure for trading, information and communication activities has been also upgraded. Between 2011 and 2017, through many programmes and projects, makeshift and dilapidated houses in An Nghia were replaced with proper solid homes. Local residents have also played an active role in the movement aimed at "ensuring clean houses, beautiful gardens, healthy environment and civilised alleys.”

By the end of last year, An Nghia commune had fulfilled all 19 criteria in building new-style rural areas.

In June 2018, the Hoa Binh provincial People’s Committee presented local authorities and people with the certificate recognising their new-style rural area status./.
