(HBO) – The standing committee of the Ho Chi Minh Communist Youth Union’s Hoa Binh chapter and the Republic of Korea (RoK)’s GNI organisation in Vietnam recently held a programme to review the second phase of the GNI-aided project on building a youth cultural centre in the province (2014-2018).
Attending
the event were leaders from the chapter, the provincial Department of Labour,
Invalids and Social Affairs, and representatives from the RoK organization,
along with over 300 students across Hoa Binh city.
Representatives
from the GNI organisation and leaders from the provincial chapter of the HCM
Communist Youth Union present scholarships to poor children with outstanding
academic performance at the centre.
The second phase of the project was carried
out from January 2014 to December 2018 with the aim of continuously
implementing or replacing some activities in the first phase, as well as
enabling youths from Hoa Binh city to join intensive courses and sports,
extracurricular and social activities, and use library services to develop
intellectual and physical strengths.
The project is carried out in four communes and
wards of Hoa Binh city, namely Thinh Lang, Thai Binh, Thong Nhat, and Dan Chu.
Its main activities are about library and training. During the five-year
implementation of the second phase, the project provided various kinds of books
for the library.
At present, the library has around 10,000 copies with rich contents and
suitable for young readers. In this period, the project trained around 1,338
primary, secondary and high school students with the subjects of English,
Korean, music, art, computing, martial arts, and sports.
The centre now has a multi-purpose house
covering over 500 square metres, four classrooms, one library, one working
house, and a 900-square-metre playground, creating a healthy learning and
playing environment for children.
At the event, representatives of the project
granted 50 scholarships worth 500,000 VND each to needy children at the centre.
With the motto of "polite, dedicated, professional, and lawful,” over the years, Phu Cuong commune in Tan Lac district has gradually improved the quality of processing administrative procedures, winning high satisfaction from local people and businesses.
Stretching over 300 meters, valued at hundreds of million dong and built to the new-style rural standards, a concrete road in De hamlet, Bac Phong commune, Cao Phong district, was completed by the end of 2023 thanks to the collective contributions of armed forces at provincial and district levels coupled with the active participation of military units stationed throughout the district.
Over the years, the People’s Committee of Lac Thuy district has issued many plans and programmes to speed up the administrative reform, aiming to better serve local people and businesses.
Kim Boi district is drafting 23 planning projects which are expected to help boost the local socio-economic development, attract investors, and mobilise resources for development, said Vice chairman of the district People’s Committee Tran Tuan Son.
They include the one on Bo urban area development until 2045, 20 zoning, and 12 on rural residential areas in communes.
This year, Hoa Binh province strives to have eight communes recognised as meeting new-style rural area standards and five communes satisfying exemplary new-style rural area standards. Since the beginning of the year, the provincial People's Committee has drastically directed the implementation of the national target programme on new-style rural area building to fulfil the set target.
Cao Phong district achieved positive socio-economic development results last year as drastic comprehensive measures were implemented with high determination of its whole political system, said the Secretary of the district Party Committee Ha Van Di.
