(HBO) – Khuoc hamlet in Cao Son commune, Luong Son district, Hoa Binh province, was once isolated from the outside world. There was only a trail leading to the locality.
Thanks to the
upgrading of the local transport system, Khuoc villagers have experienced
changes in their lives.
According to Bui Van Tuong, head of the hamlet, before the
upgrading of the local transport system, more than 50 households there, mainly
belonging to Muong and Dao ethnic groups, only cultivated corn and cassava.
After a concrete road running through the mountain and connecting Khuoc with
other hamlets and low-lying areas was built, the living standards of local
residents have been improved.
Many households have utilised scientific-technological
applications in planting trees of high economic values like orange and pomelo.
The hamlet has also been known as a source of cows, chickens
and goats in Luong Son. Thanks to new mindset and investments in production,
many of the households have escaped from the poverty, even becoming well-off.
Statistics show that in 2022, up to 80% of the households
were recognised as cultural ones. More than 60% of the residents participated
in health insurance. The average income of each resident stood at 35 million
VND.
Tuong said there were only nine poor and near-poor
households in the hamlet, noting that the locality will focus on supporting the
households, with the pioneering role of Party members to be carried forward in
the efforts.
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.
