(HBO) – In recent years, the Hoa Binh provincial Farmers' Association has hosted many activities to raise awareness among its members of the importance of environmental protection and encourage them to take part in these activities, contributing to improving local living standards and building new-style rural areas.
Officials, members of the
Farmers’ Association chapter in Cao Phong district collect
waste in Thung Nai commune.
Farmers have
become more aware of environmental protection. They have been encouraged to
play an active part in environmental protection campaigns and the local
new-style rural building during meetings of villagers and the Farmers’ Association’s grassroot-level chapters.
Environmental
protection has also been integrated into criteria for accessment of the local chapters.
In response to
the national emulation movement on new-stype rural building, farmers across the
province have donated over 11 billion VND, 106,433 workdays, and over 88,700 sq.m of land for construction of rural roads. More than 460 km of inter-field roads have been built and upgraded, nearly 1,480 km of roads and alleys have been cleared; and over 683 km of inter-field canalshave been dredged.
In addition to 35,500 trees, the Farmers’ Association at all levels has implemented 272 models of environmental protection
in which members took part in the collection, classification and treatment of
waste in residential areas while reporting on violations of environmental
rules.
Many farmers have
joined the model in which waste is collected and treated for farming of flowers
across the district of Lac Son and Yen Thuy and Hoa Binh city.
In the coming
time, the association will continue to direct its chapters to scale up waste
collection projects and encourage members to donate land and money to construct public and infrastructure
works and participate in environmental protection activities./.
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.
Lac Son district boasts a vast area and large population, with about 90% of the population living in rural areas, and hence the lowest level of urbanisation in the province. The district has issued a resolution on urban development, plans and projects for urban development along with a roadmap, aiming to achieve an urbanisation rate of 15% by 2025 and 25% by 2030 by developing urban areas in the towns of Vu Ban, Muong Vo, and Muong Khoi according to urban levels.
Doan Ket, a remote commune of Yen Thuy district, has more than 98% of its population being people from ethnic minority groups, mainly Muong. Over the past years, local residents have upheld the tradition of solidarity as well as their trust in the leadership of the local Party committee and administration to make joint efforts to develop their hometown and meet new-style countryside criteria.
Over recent times, the implementation of the single-window mechanism for administrative procedure settlement in electronic environments at various units and localities has seen positive changes.
