(HBO) – Thanks to the joint efforts of the whole political system and the support of local residents, Hoa Binh has been among leading localities in the northern mountainous region in implementing the National Target Programme on New-Style Rural Area Building with many important achievements.


 Rural roads in Nhuan Trach commune, Luong Son district, has been expanded and become cleaner and more beautiful, contributing to making the locality a model new-style rural area.

In the 2021-2025 period, the province aims to continue to carry out the programme effectively in association with the restructuring of the agricultural sector, enhancing the living conditions for locals, promoting socio-economic infrastructure system, and maintaining the traditional cultural identity, thus making the rural area a worth-living place.

Specifically, by 2025, the province expects 76.7% of its communes to be recognised as new-style rural areas, 37.4% certified as advanced new-style rural areas, and 8.1% becoming model new-style rural areas.

At the same time, 50% of the total districts are to complete all criteria of the programme, and at least one district is expected to become an advanced new-style rural area. On average, each commune is hoped to finish 17 out of the 19 criteria of the programme.

Vice Chairman of the provincial People’s Committee Dinh Cong Su said that in order to complete the goals, in the 2021-2025 period, Hoa Binh will invest 27 trillion VND (1.1 billion USD) in the programme.

At the same time, the locality will continue to encourage local residents to involve themselves in the programme, while prioritising resources for the completion of the fundamental infrastructure system in communes, especially those with extreme difficulties, speeding up the agricultural sector, paying more attention to human resources training, and promoting the development of handicraft and tourism, he said.

The official said that the provincial People’s Committee is directing the local administrations and sectors to mobilise resources for the building of new-style rural areas. Along with the central budget, localities have been asked to consider the spending of parts of local budget for the programme, while paying special attention to extremely difficult communes and those that have registered to become new-style rural areas in the 2021-205 period.

At the same time, the implementation of the criteria that have been lagging behind will be sped up, with focus on supporting the development of corporate economy and cooperatives as well as the production in value chain so as to create more jobs and increase incomes for rural dwellers, he added./.
