(HBO) - Besides the advantages of beautiful natural landscape, cool climate, rich and diverse cultural identity, friendly and hospitable people, Da Bac district also has over 6,000 hectares of water surface on the Da hydropower plant reservoir which is regarded as "another Ha Long Bay on land". Its geographical location near Hoa Binh city and Hanoi capital makes the district an attractive investment for socio-economic development.

Committee inspects the effectiveness of the model of growing medicinal plants
in Yen Hoa commune.
Luong Van Thi, Chairman of the district People's Committee, said that Party
committees and authorities at all levels have focused on restructuring the
agro-forestry economy in line with the strengths of each commune and locality.
As a result, the socio-economic development of the district has gradually
achieved positive results. The production value has grown at a rate of
7.14%.
Over the past years, the district has fully optimised the Party, State and
Government’s programmes and policies to support socio-economic development in
communes relocated to make room for the reservoir. It focuses on mobilising
capital sources to develop sustainable livelihoods for local residents such as
forest plantation, cattle raising, developing fish cage farming in the
direction of commodity development, and training professional human resources
to serve the demand of local socio-economic development.
Hoa Binh province has also carried out many specific policies to support
socio-economic development, and improve the lives of relocated people such as
projects on crop restructuring, livestock breeding, cage fish farming and
developing eco-tourism, creating livelihoods for people.
Hundreds of households relocated for the reservoir of the Da River hydropower
plant have invested in cage fish farming with output reaching over 1,300 tonnes
per year and earning hundreds of billions of Vietnamese dong in revenue.
Dozens
of investors have come to the locality to survey and seize business
opportunities. There are 20 non-budget investment projects that have been
approved by the provincial People's Committee in the fields of afforestation,
production and tourism.
According to Chairman Thi, despite of positive results brought about by the
socio-economic development programmes, the district still faced difficulty in
stabilising life and long-term production for relocated people because most of
them are ethnic minorities with backward farming practices.
The
rate of poor households in the locality is still high due to unstable
production.
It is
hoped that more favourable policies should be devised for the relocated people,
especially in supporting the construction of essential infrastructure and
encouraging enterprises to invest in food processing and sales, he said./.
The people in Hoa Binh province are aware of the need to build and preserve the cultural traditions and unique customs of their communities, especially those related to ethnic identities and family values which serve as foundation for a vibrant, tradition-rich Hoa Binh, enriching community life. In recent years, the province’s Party Committee, authorities, and residents have paid heed to building and developing family values and fostering human standards in the new era.
The festival of great national solidarity and culture in 2024 was held at the communal house of Da Bac district on November 5. Vice Chairman of the provincial People’s Committee Nguyen Van Toan and leaders of departments and sectors attended the event.
The Labor Federation of Da Bac district has focused on protecting workers' rights while actively participating in patriotic emulation movements to enhance the creativity and productivity of the local workforces across agencies, organisations and enterprises.
In recent years, the Women's Union of Yen Thuy district has actively contributed to the implementation of the National Target Program on building new the rural areas. The Union's activities not only help raise awareness of environmental protection for the members, the women, and the people but they also contribute to improving the appearance of rural areas and improving the quality of life.
The model of intergenerational self-help club (ISC) has been expanded in Mai Chau district over recent times, contributing to sharing and motivating the disadvantaged people, especially the elderly, to improve their lives.
Following President Ho Chi Minh’s teachings that emulation is patriotism, patriotism requires emulation, the trade union at all levels in Hoa Binh has effectively implemented patriotism emulation movements, especially the "effective, creative working” movement. Responding to the movement, local workers, public servants, and officials have proposed many creative and applicable ideas, helping spread the movement to all agencies, units, and businesses.
