Officials and Party members of the Party Committee and administration of
Tong Dau commune have regularly shared professional knowledge.
In 2010, Tong Dau was chosen as a key commune in
implementing the national target programme on building new-style rural areas in
Mai Chau district. At that time, Nhoi hamlet had the highest rate of poor households
in Tong Dau commune, exceeding 10 percent.
At that time, a resolution on developing the economy
and improving incomes for local residents was issued. Each of the eight members
in the Party cell of Nhoi hamlet was assigned to assist from five to ten
families, including at least one low-income household. Groups of families were
also set up to support each other.
Basing on the local climate and soil conditions,
Nhoi hamlet’s Party board has encouraged many poor families to replace
unproductive crops with grass to serve livestock farming. It has also organised
fact-finding trips for local people so that they can apply successful models in
other localities of Mai Chau district in their hamlet.
As a result, the rate of poor households in the
hamlet has dropped to under 4 percent, thus helping Tong Dau commune to fulfil
the target of new-style rural area building on schedule.
Another demonstration showed the local Party
committee’s leadership role in ensuring security and order in Rut hamlet. In 2005, Rut hamlet recorded a rise in
drug use and trafficking among young people. The number of drug addicts even
accounted for 7 percent of the hamlet’s population at a certain point of time.
Then Secretary of the hamlet’s Party cell Nguyen Dinh Truong said if the
problem was not prevented timely, Rut hamlet would become a drug hotbed.
With the support of all Party members, the local
Party cell adopted a resolution on enhancing local security and order. Many
solutions were carried out such as stepping up communications to encourage
local residents to comply with the Party’s directives and resolutions and the
State’s policies and laws, and promoting the role of prestigious persons and
Party members who came to meet and talk with drug addicts and those having a
high risk of drug abuse.
Notably, the Party cell’s board coordinated with
the hamlet management board to establish a self-managed team for security and
order – the first of its kind in Mai Chau district.
After 10 years of implementation, the resolution
on ensuring security and order in Rut hamlet has proved effective. In
particular, the hamlet hasn’t recorded any new drug abusers or drug trafficking
cases. Thanks to its effects, the model in Rut hamlet has been expanded to
other localities of Mai Chau district./.
