Nguyen Duc Thuan, Vice Chairman of the
provincial Labour Federation, said social resources have been mobilised
to organise practical and effective activities under this year’s programme.
As a result, local trade unions at all levels
arranged visits and presented 168 gifts worth over 186 million VND (7,844 USD)
to union members and workers encountering difficulties and labour accidents.
They also supported the construction of five houses worth 240 million VND;
signed cooperation agreements for welfare programmes serving union members; and
organised discount sales and health care events for the group. Notably, a forum
titled "Workers for Enterprises, Enterprises for Workers" was held,
with 1,075 union members participating and 39 feedback and opinions recorded.
Meanwhile, to care for the cultural and
spiritual life of union members, 852 sport and artistic events took place,
gathering over 15,600 employees. The provincial Labour Federation also ran a
Facebook photo contest on the charm of the group, attracting hundreds of
entries.
The development of membership was also a
highlight. Accordingly, before and during the month, 10 new grassroots trade
unions were established; 2,412 new members were admitted; and 548 outstanding
members were recommended for Party membership consideration.
The flexibility and creativity of trade unions
at all levels during the Workers' Month have contributed to better care and
protection for the members and enhanced the position and role of trade union
organisations in the province./.

As women's participation in key leadership positions of Hoa Binh province is still modest while some women in rural and mountainous areas or from ethnic minorities face limited access to policies, the provincial Party Committee's Organisation Board has advised the provincial Party Committee's Standing Board to direct Party committees at all levels and localities to pay more attention to training female personnel and creating favourable conditions for women to take over leadership and management roles, thus addressing a shortage in the number of female cadres.
The Department of Education and Training of Hoa Binh province held a conference on March 18 to review the performance of the "Safe and Happy School" Project and set out tasks for 2025. The project, funded by the Taiwan Fund for Children and Families (TFCF), aims to create a safe, inclusive, and supportive learning environment for students. The event saw the attendance of representatives from the TFCF and 26 beneficiary schools.
With over 70% of their workers being women, trade unions across industrial parks (IPs) in Hoa Binh have been actively safeguarding their legal rights and interests while implementing initiatives to improve their income and well-being.
In recent years, the Hoa Binh provincial General Hospital has continuously innovated itself and improved the quality of medical services to meet the increasing needs of local people. With substantial investments in infrastructure and modern equipment, along with a team of highly qualified doctors and nurses, the hospital has gradually established itself as one of the leading medical units in the Northwestern region and a trusted destination for healthcare for people inside and outside the province.
From mastering the fundamentals of programming to achieving national recognition, the Programming Club of the Le Van Tam Primary School (STAR LVT28) in Hoa Binh city has made remarkable strides in the field of robotics.
