(HBO) – Pa Co commune in Mai Chau district has significantly changed in recent years, with its roads concreted and local residents selling a variety of goods to serve tourism and domestic consumption.
People sell local products to serve tourists in Cha
Day hamlet, Pa Co commune, Mai Chau district.
Pa Co’s Cha Day hamlet now has the appearance of a new-style
rural area. The hamlet has established self-managing groups in residential
areas, built a cultural lifestyle, upgraded the landscape and environment, and
stepped up the development of production, animal husbandry and services
provision. Cha Day has about dozens of households, with women having skills in
weaving, and children allowed to go school.
Pa Co – one of the two communes of Mong ethnic minority
people once known as a hotspot for security issues and drug trafficking – is
gradually changing as a result of attentions and investment from the Party and
State.
Sung A Sia, Chairman of the Pa Co People’s Committee, said
as a difficult area, Pa Co has received attentions of the province and the
district for investment in roads, schools, clinics, electricity grids,
agricultural production and tourism serving its growth.
Located at an altitude of more than 1,000m, Pa Co has a
year-round cool climate, primeval forests, and many popular products such as
Shan Tuyet tea and traditional handicrafts. Such advantages have been tapped
for community-based tourism development. So far, the commune has become an
attractive destination for domestic and international tourists.
The
Hoa Binh Party Committee has directed units to continue implementing Project
No. 09-DA/TU on improving the quality of activities of Party organisations and
administrations at the grassroots levels in association with socio-economic
development in Hang Kia and Pa Co communes. The direction covers a series of
measures to mobilise capital sources for investment in building socio-economic
infrastructure; raise public awareness on the matter; improve the operational
efficiency of the political system; and better the material and spiritual lives
of the people of the two communes.
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.
