Workers of GGS garment company at Da River
Left-Bank Industrial Park in Hoa Binh city join an emulation campaign in
production to achieve the dual goal of COVID-19 pandemic prevention and
control, and economic development.
Hoa Binh has for years considered patriotic
emulation movements a driving force behind the province's socio-economic
development and the successful implementation of targets and resolutions by
Party congresses at all levels.
The provincial People’s Committee has worked to
make such movements suitable to the local conditions, attracting the great
participation of people from all walks of life.
As a result, the province's socio-economic
development and people's living standards have been improved, with its annual
average poverty rate decreasing by 2-3 percent. The quality of health and
education has increased, while cultural preservation and security-defence have
been ensured.
Particularly in the 2021-2022 period, the
province has been seriously affected by the COVID-19 pandemic.
According to Dang Mai Son, Director of the
provincial Department of Home Affairs, Hoa Binh has launched and directed the
implementation of a series of emulation campaigns, therefore realising the dual
goal of pandemic prevention and control, and economic development.
In 2021, the province’s Gross Regional Domestic
Product (GRDP) increased by 3.07 percent, while its per capita income reached
61.5 million VND (2,646 USD). Hoa Binh also added nine communes to its list of
new-style rural areas, bringing the total number to 65. It has so far raised
dozens of billions of VND for a fund for COVID-19 prevention and control, and
donated more than 300 tonnes of agricultural products, rice and food to support
southern provinces in the fight against the pandemic.
