The national target programme on building new-style rural areas has given a
facelift to Ngoc Luong as people’s livelihood improved. Building on
results gained during the process, local authorities and people have rolled out
measures to maintain the achieved outcomes and overcome difficulties so as to
be recognised as exemplary new-style rural area in the 2021-24.
To raise local people’s income, the commune has bolstered production in line
with restructuring the agricultural sector and rural economy, and enhancing
links between the supply chain, production and consumption.
Despite complex developments of COVID-19, local residents donated more than 600
sq.m of land to build rural roads and grow trees in the first nine months of
this year. They had also actively joined campaigns calling on people to build
roads and irrigation works. In excess of 60 million VND (2,610 USD) had been
mobilised from social sources.
Vice Chairman of Ngoc Luong People’s Committee Nguyen Xuan Thuy said at
present, the commune is putting efforts to meet criteria of exemplary new-style
rural areas.
However, various challenges
remain in the process, particularly capital shortages and transport problems.
To meet the set targets, in the coming time, Ngoc Luong authorities will
bolster communication work to reach consensus among people in the realisation
of criteria in building new-style rural areas.
They will mobilise all resources to upgrade rural infrastructure and rural
economy development and step up the implementation of the ‘One Commune, One
Product’ (OCOP) programme. Centralised production areas will be set up.
Authorities will work to link production with the value chain and brand
building for products, maintain and develop the collective economic model to
create jobs and raise people’s income.
In addition, they are to conserve rural landscape, consolidate the transparent
and stable political system, and pay attention to healthcare.
