(HBO) – Da Bac is a mountainous district with intertwined hills, mountains, rivers and streams, leading to many narrow strips and steep topography. This variable terrain causes difficulties for not only transport but also natural resources exploitation and economic development.
The inter-hamlet road in Tan Pheo commune has met local
transport, trading and socio-economic development demand.
Forests are the most valuable asset of Da Bac,
which is home to the largest natural area compared to that of other districts
in Hoa Binh province, and most of the area is forest land – 65.12 percent or
more than 50,660ha. Forests are "green lungs”, and they also provide humans
with precious produce nurtured by their own diverse resources.
Developing forest-based economic activities has
been and will remain a suitable development direction for the district. From
now to 2050, Da Bac plans to turn forest-based activities into a spearhead
economic sector and continue consolidating the four local socio-economic
pillars of forest-based economic activities, livestock and crop production by
farming households, herbal plant development, and tourism.
As a district with the highest household poverty
rate in Hoa Binh – 51.75 percent in 2015, Da Bac faces numerous challenges to
the realisation of the resolution of the provincial Party Congress for the
2015-2020 tenure. Amid limited resources, the district’s Party organisation and
administration consider developing road transport infrastructure as the top
priority.
So far, all communes in Da Bac have had roads
helping their centres accessible by car. Up to 98 percent of the
district-managed roads, 97 percent of inter-commune roads, 70 percent of
inter-hamlet roads, and 72 percent of roads in local villages have been paved.
More roads crossing fields have been built or renovated, over 1,260km of the
roads managed by district and communal authorities have received regular
maintenance, and Provincial Road 433 has continued to be upgraded.
Aside from the resolve to invest in
infrastructure to boost socio-economic development, Da Bac district has also
paid attention to improving people’s awareness. Realising the necessity to
escape from poverty on their own, local residents are determined to overcome
hardships and not to rely on external support.
From 2015 to 2019, the household poverty rate
here decreased by 4.9 percent annually on average to 32 percent at the end of
last year. Compared to 2015, per capita income surged 160 percent to 27.5 million
VND (nearly 1,200 USD) in late 2019./.
In recent times, Da Bac district has paid attention to implementing gender equality work for the advancement of women. The role and position of women in the family and society have been affirmed, making an important contribution to the socio-economic development of the locality.
Despite being situated in remote and underprivileged areas, schools like Tan Dan Kindergarten in Tan Thanh commune, Mai Chau district, have reaped the benefits of digital transformation tools and applications, thanks to support from the education and training sector.
The flower and ornamental plant market for the Lunar New Year (Tet) festival across Hoa Binh province is becoming more vibrant.
On January 18th, the Ministry of Education and Training announced the results of the national exam for excellent students in 2024-2025 school year of 2024-2025.
In the afternoon of January 15th, at the Industrial Park of the Left Bank of Da River, the Trade Union of the Provincial Industrial Parks organized the program "Reunion Tet – the Spring Being Grateful to the Party” in 2025.
On January 9th, the Department of Education and Training held a conference to summarize the school year of 2024, reviewing the semester I and deploy tasks for 2025, semester II of the 2024-2025 school year. There was the attendance of Mr. Nguyen Van Chuong, the Vice Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee.
