(HBO) - Besides the advantages of beautiful natural landscape, cool climate, rich and diverse cultural identity, friendly and hospitable people, Da Bac district also has over 6,000 hectares of water surface on the Da hydropower plant reservoir which is regarded as "another Ha Long Bay on land". Its geographical location near Hoa Binh city and Hanoi capital makes the district an attractive investment for socio-economic development.

Committee inspects the effectiveness of the model of growing medicinal plants
in Yen Hoa commune.
Luong Van Thi, Chairman of the district People's Committee, said that Party
committees and authorities at all levels have focused on restructuring the
agro-forestry economy in line with the strengths of each commune and locality.
As a result, the socio-economic development of the district has gradually
achieved positive results. The production value has grown at a rate of
7.14%.
Over the past years, the district has fully optimised the Party, State and
Government’s programmes and policies to support socio-economic development in
communes relocated to make room for the reservoir. It focuses on mobilising
capital sources to develop sustainable livelihoods for local residents such as
forest plantation, cattle raising, developing fish cage farming in the
direction of commodity development, and training professional human resources
to serve the demand of local socio-economic development.
Hoa Binh province has also carried out many specific policies to support
socio-economic development, and improve the lives of relocated people such as
projects on crop restructuring, livestock breeding, cage fish farming and
developing eco-tourism, creating livelihoods for people.
Hundreds of households relocated for the reservoir of the Da River hydropower
plant have invested in cage fish farming with output reaching over 1,300 tonnes
per year and earning hundreds of billions of Vietnamese dong in revenue.
Dozens
of investors have come to the locality to survey and seize business
opportunities. There are 20 non-budget investment projects that have been
approved by the provincial People's Committee in the fields of afforestation,
production and tourism.
According to Chairman Thi, despite of positive results brought about by the
socio-economic development programmes, the district still faced difficulty in
stabilising life and long-term production for relocated people because most of
them are ethnic minorities with backward farming practices.
The
rate of poor households in the locality is still high due to unstable
production.
It is
hoped that more favourable policies should be devised for the relocated people,
especially in supporting the construction of essential infrastructure and
encouraging enterprises to invest in food processing and sales, he said./.
The emulation movement "Hoa Binh joining hands to build new-style rural areas” has been widely spreading, becoming a driving force that motivates the localities to renew rural landscapes and improve the material and spiritual lives of the residents. In this movement, the people play a central role-both as the main implementers and direct beneficiaries of its outcomes.
In response to the global digital revolution, Hoa Binh Newspaper is transforming itself into a modern and multi-platform media hub, blending cutting-edge technology with a restructured newsroom and a new generation of tech-savvy journalists.
Hoa Binh province’s Association of the Elderly recently held a conference to review the project on expanding the inter-generation self-help club model until 2025.
In a move to implement Resolution No. 57-NQ/TW, issued on December 22, 2024 by the Politburo, which targets breakthroughs in science-technology development, innovation, and digital transformation, the Hoa Binh provincial Department of Health has issued a plan to roll out the "Digital Literacy for All” campaign within the local health sector.
