(HBO) - With the people’s consensus, the leadership and directions from local party and administrative organizations, along with the determination of the whole political system, in June 2020, Sao Bay (Kim Boi) managed to qualify for the title of New-style Rural Area (NRA). As it is hard enough to receive the title, it is by no means any easier to maintain and promote the quality of the achieved criteria. Therefore, the commune’s party and administrative organizations as well the local people put forward further plans and solutions to further promote homeland building emulation, sustainable socio-economic development.

Community house at Bay hamlet, Sao Bay (Kim Boi), went through extensive repairs and renovation to meet the villagers’ demands.

"Right after receiving the title, the commune continued to set out plans to reinforce, improve the quality of criteria, especially those about roads, irrigation, incomes, poverty rate, environment... Because these are the firm foundation to achieve other criteria. The commune actively sets out plans, mobilizing the people’s resources, focusing efforts on completing the infrastructure, strengthening production, improving living standard and the well-being of the people”, said Bui Van Tuong, Chairman of Communal People’s Committee.

When launching the NRA building program in 2012, the commune faced massive challenges in inadequate road systems, low incomes from a purely agricultural economy, high poverty rate, poor hygiene and environment… Prioritizing improving incomes as a prerequisiteand foundation to build other criteria, the communal authorities led the people in boosting production, crop restructuring and livelihood diversification. Beside agricultural development, small scale industries and handicrafts were assigned extra investments, providing employment to rural labourers, changing the labour structure.

The commune gradually transformed the internal road system with concretions, facilitating smooth transport and traffic. In 2021, with funds mobilized from state budget and people’s donations, the commune managed to build 2.5 km of new rural roads, reclaiming 10,000 cubic metres of soils, dredging and cleaning 10 km of canals and waterways, renovating the community houses, repairing many dilapidated buildings. The commune is steadfast on the roadmap to qualify for advanced NRA in 2022./.
