(HBO) – Preserving traditional cultural values has formed the basic foundation for Dich Giao commune, a locality inhabited by Muong ethnic people and located in the centre of Muong Bi region, to successfully develop a standout new style rural area model in Tan Lac district.
Dich Giao commune was recognised as a new style rural area in June 2015. Local
Party, authorities and people have continued their efforts to mobilise social
resources to improve its realised criteria. The commune has upgraded and
expanded many rural roads in accordance with set criteria. Roads running
through Khang, Sung 2 and Sung 3 hamlets were enlarged to 3.5 metres in width.

The commune has paid due attention to ensuring rural environment. Along
with signing commitments with the authorities to protect the environment in
production and breeding, local people have maintained road clean-ups to ensure
public health. Responsibilities of local individuals are concretised in each
hamlet’s regulations. Accordingly, local residents voluntarily clean up rural
roads in every Saturday.
Bui Van Dinh, Chairman of the Dich Giao commune People’s Committee, said: "The
commune’s success in implementing the national programme on building new style
rural areas is spurred by the consensus of local officials and Party members
who have set good examples and played pioneering roles in the mission”.
Notably, Dich Giao has prioritised the preservation of traditional cultural
values. Despite the changing life, it is still common to see traditional
costumes to be worn by local people or hear stories and greetings in ethnic
languages. It becomes the ideology of local people in the new style area
building process.
During the construction of rural infrastructure, more than 700 households
donated their lands. Among families giving hundreds of metres of land are Bui
Van Hau’s family in La hamlet and Bui Thi Thoan’s family in Sung 1 hamlet.
Currently, 11 out of 14 hamlets in the commune are cultural villages and more
than 85 percent of households are recognised as cultural families./.
