Responding to the campaign "All people unite to build cultural life in residential areas", the locality has achieved many positive results and created positive changes in local socio-economic development in recent years.

 In 2017, the entire commune had 725 households recognised as cultural families, 750 households as sporty families and 5 out of six residential units as cultural residential areas.

 Putting people’s interests as the top priority, Thanh Luong has focused on specific tasks to bring a facelift to the rural areas, and enhance the spiritual and material life for local residents. Local authorities and social organisations have joined hands to run numerous campaigns to involve all residents in socio-economic development. Some outstanding campaigns are "women helping each other develop household production”, "veterans contributing to new-style rural building”, "farmers doing business”, "youths going for self-improvement and career building”, among others. They have reduced poverty and formed new business models.

Among them, 132 households earned the title for three consecutive years. The hamlet has 218 households with 960 people, 85 percent of whom are from the Muong ethnic community. Local residents voluntarily donated land to build roads and actively participated in public activities.

 Thanks to local concerted efforts, Thanh Luong completed its goal of becoming a new-style rural area in January 2018. To date, more than 59 percent of the local workforce have received vocational training; 100 percent of households have access to electricity and the internet. Meanwhile, 100 percent of its hamlets have their own standardised cultural houses and sport centres./.
