The
Communist Youth Union of the Bank of Investment and Development of Vietnam
(BIDV) coordinates with Youth Union chapters of BIDV Hoa Binh, Hoa Binh
province and Kim Boi district to present
a house to the family of Bui Thi Deo, in Vay village of Thuong Tien commune,
whose husband laid down his life during the resistance war against the US.
Nguyen Thanh Thuy, Deputy Director of the provincial Department of
Labour, Invalids and Social Affairs, said information collection was carried
out at 25 martyrs’ cemeteries across the province. The portal aims to provide
information on martyrs, martyrs’ graves and cemeteries, reducing difficulties
of their family members in finding their relatives’ graves and easing the pain
of war. It also gives support in incense offering and grave improvement during
holidays and the Vietnam Invalids and Martyrs Day (July 27).
It is part of activities to express gratitude to those who sacrificed
their lives for the country’s independence and freedom.
Statistics of the department show that during the two resistance
wars, as well as national building and safeguarding and international mission
implementation, Hoa Binh province had 5,876 martyrs, including 2,977 fallen
soldiers in the war against the US. There were 2,089 war invalids and invalid policy
beneficiaries; 898 wounded soldiers; 2,954 people exposed to toxic chemical and
232 heroic mothers (with nine of them being alive).
Campaigns to show respect and gratitude to those who rendered
services to the nation have been effectively implemented by sectors and
agencies of all levels. Revolutionary contributors and policy beneficiary
families always receive due attention and support.
All the Vietnamese heroic mothers received life-time support from
agencies and units. In 2017, the province paid preferential allowances worth
214 billion VND for over 9,000 revolutionary contributors and took care of
3,387 people at a budget of 4.59 billion VND. It also presented 48,849 gift packs
worth 9.71 billion VND from the President and the province to those who
rendered services for the nation and their relatives on special occasions and
Lunar New Year. And it mobilised 1.06 billion VND for the provincial gratitude
fund.
Besides, 112 new houses were built and 94 others were upgraded at
a cost of 6 billion VND. Agencies and units of the province handed over 291
saving books worth total 337.8 million VND to local policy beneficiaries. All
communes, wards and towns were recognised to effectively carry out the martyrs
and war invalids work. No documents remaining untouched were reported./.
