(HBO) – Launched in 2016, the campaign "All people unite to build new rural areas and promote urban civilization" has been actively implemented by Thuong Coc commune in Lac Son district in association with the movement "joining hands to build new rural areas".

Trang
hamlet, Thuong Coc commune in Lac Son district maintains regular practice of a
Gong club. The club usually performs in the locality’s festivals.
Through communication
activities with concrete and practical content, the commune’s Vietnam Fatherland
Front (VFF) and its chapters in hamlets have helped raise public awareness of their
own responsibility in building a civilised lifestyle. Luong hamlet has been
selected to pilot measures toward this goal.
Accordingly, each family in
the locality contributed 100,000 VND/month to build two hygienic toilets for two
households. After these works are
completed, contributions will be raised for the construction of wall fences and
the installation of electricity lines for lighting.
At the start, many households did not realise the benefits of the model so they
did not agree to contribute money. Meetings were arranged to explain the model
and its benefits to locals, helping them understand about it. At the same time,
participating households elected a person that they trust to keep records on
the collection and spending of the money. Therefore, from the initial 78
households, now 100 percent of the households in the hamlet have completed the
construction of hygienic toilets; 75 out of 115 households built wall fences
and installed 1.3 km of electricity lines for lighting.
From the model in Luong
hamlet, the Thuong Coc commune’s VFF has expanded the model to 22 other
residential areas in the commune, with more than 80.5 percent of households
have completed the construction programme of hygienic latrines; 6 residential
areas have successfully involved 100 percent of local households in the model;
10 residential areas have completed the installation of lighting lines.
Along with developing infrastructure facilities, the VFF working committees of
residential areas in the commune have also called for locals to strictly implement
the Party's guidelines, the State's policies and laws and ensure security and
order.
In the form of self-management in ensuring security and order, households in
the communes signed commitments to fight social evils and crimes, especially
educate youths, towards preventing drug addiction and social evil in the
community. As a result, more than 75 percent of households in the commune have been
recognised as cultural families and 70 percent of residential areas have met criteria
of cultural residential areas. Many residential areas have not seen any social
evils and met criteria of rural environment./.
