(HBO) – Dung Phong commune in Cao Phong district is the first locality in the northern mountainous province of Hoa Binh to be recognised as new-style rural area in 2014. The commune is exerting greater efforts to improve the quality of new-style rural area criteria, aiming to make all of its seven hamlets fulfil the standards of "model new-style rural residential areas and gardens.”
The commune has set up a specific steering board, conducted
surveys, made budget estimate and held meetings to collect public opinions on
the work.
It has also asked hamlets to pilot the progamme on building model new-style
rural residential areas, under which locals are encouraged to upgrade their
houses and common cultural houses and follow a civilized lifestyle.
The locality has poured 30 million VND sourced from its budget into the
programme. Besides, locals have voluntarily planted trees and built sewers
along hamlet roads.
