(HBO) – Upgrading community and cultural houses in hamlets and villages is one of the tasks implemented by Da Bac district's authorities in the national target programme for socio-economic development in ethnic minority and mountainous areas in 2022.
The cultural house in Na Loc village, Dong Chum commune (Da Bac district) has deteriorated, unable to meet the organisation of community activities.
With about 90 percent of the population being ethnic minorities, Da Bac is a mountainous district with many difficulties. In recent years, apart from investing in essential infrastructure development, the district authorities have concentrated on building and upgrading cultural facilities.
According to a report of the district People's Committee, as many as 12 villages and hamlets in the district do not have communal houses. Meanwhile, only three out of 16 communes have commune-level culture houses, including Hien Luong, Toan Son and Tu Ly.
Only four out of 16 communes have met criteria No. 6 on cultural facilities in new-style rural area building. According to the district’s Department of Ethnic Minority Affairs, under the national target programme for socio-economic development in ethnic minority and mountainous areas in 2022, the district has provided support in housing, water supply and infrastructure facilities for a number of disadvantaged communes, villages and hamlets.
The programme has also funded the upgrade of 10 community and cultural houses in villages and hamlets of Tien Phong, Muong Chieng, Trung Thanh and Hien Luong communes with a total investment of 2 billion VND (about 81,600 USD)./.
