(HBO) – Promoting paperless meetings, the People’s Committee of Lac Son district has been able to cut expenditures on printing, save time, enhance interactions among participants, and improve the effectiveness of governance.
Using smartphones, officials of Lac Son district are
able to access required documents at least five days before any meeting.
Since the end of 2020, the Lac Son People’s
Committee has deployed an application called "Paperless meeting” at all of its
units. All meetings held on the platform use digital documents. Before every
meeting, its programme and documents can be submitted to and updated via the
platform for participants to review in advance. Participants will be given
access to documents at least five days before symposiums and units’ meetings
and 15 days before district-level People’s Council ones.
With the app "Paperless meeting”, participants
only need to bring computers or mobile devices instead of shuffling tonnes of
documents like before.
Bui Nguyet Minh, head of the district’s home
affairs division, said "Paperless meeting” gives participants constant access
to many related documents. By doing this, the district can save time and
expenditures on stationery and prevent errors in document arrangement, she
said, adding that participants have more time to take a look at the documents,
thus improving the effectiveness of discussion and enabling leaders to handle
management and administration works in a more timely and efficient manner.
Bui Van Thao from the Office of the district’s
People’s Committee said before, each district People’s Council meeting had to
deploy about 10 staff to prepare and print documents and which cost dozens of
million VND. Now it only requires one personnel to send documents to
participants 15 days in advance, he said.
He noted that "Paperless meeting” has helped
reduce burdens on the State budget after being implemented for a year. Since
the second quarter of 2022, the "Paperless meeting” has been employed in all 24
communes and township of Lac Son, he added.
However, the district has faced multiple challenges
in maintaining paperless meetings. There is lack of facilities and not every
staff is computer-literate, for example. These challenges are being resolved
with support from the district People’s Committee in an attempt to eliminate
paper meetings./.
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.
