Flowers are grown along the road to Ngai Long – a model new-style rural area in Chi Ne town, Lac Thuy district.

In response to the new-style rural area building movement, local residents contributed money and working days worth 500 million VND to building the village’s gate, upgrading its cultural house, and growing flowers.

Their efforts paid off as all of the roads in Ngai Long have been concretised and the cultural house fully equipped to serve community activities.

Having 85 percent of the total households working in agriculture, the village has stepped up the shift of plant and animal structures, and taken the lead in replicating new models.

It now counts five model orchards, including one covering 3,000 sq.m of Secretary of the village’s Party unit Le Van Hoa who earns more than 120 million VND from the trees.

Ngai Long expects to raise its per capita income to 48 million VND this year, a rise from 6 million VND in 2019. Thanks to efforts in the new-style rural area building movement, the material and spiritual lives of locals have improved significantly and the poverty reduction programme reaped significant outcomes.

The village, therefore, has been regarded as an area worth living in Lac Thuy district, with political security and social order and safety ensured./.
