(HBO) – The life in Hoa Binh province's rural areas has changed dramatically with breakthroughs in socio-economic development. Rural residents have got access to the market, science - technology and services to boost production and business activities.
(HBO) - National target programmes in the 2016-2020 period,
including the national target programme on new-style rural area building, have
created motivation for rural development, contributing to completing
socio-economic infrastructure in rural areas towards synchronic direction, and
strengthening their connectivity with urban areas.
A school in Hang Kia commune of Mau Chau district has been developed to meet
teaching and studying requirements of teachers and students.
In 2020, total resources for the implementation of the national target
programme on new-style rural area building was over 3.85 trillion VND (167.23
million USD), including 1.44 trillion VND sourced from the state budget, over
122 billion VND mobilised from businesses and economic organisations, and
298.96 billion VND from the society.
Localities have also given considerable resources for rural infrastructure
development. From resources for new-style rural development and other
resources, 184 rural roads have been built and upgraded.
Besides, localities across the province have constructed and upgraded 59
inner-field irrigation works. So far, 123 out of the province's 131 communes
have completed the criteria in irrigation for a new-style rural area.

socio-economic development requirements of localities, helping to improve the
face of rural areas. So far, 100 percent of rural households have accessed stable
and safe power supplies, while all the 131 communes have reached criteria in
electric supply.
Last year, 62 public works were built with public investment capital.
Currently, 187 out of 319 schools across the province have been equipped with
teaching equipment meeting national standards, while 69 communes have completed
the criteria in terms of school.
Alongside, cultural infrastructure systems have received adequate investment
from public capital and other sources, with 293 works built, helping 76 communes
to complete new-style rural area criteria in the field.

locals promote their economic development and increased their access to social
services to improve their living conditions.
By the end of 2020, per capita income of rural residents in Hoa Binh reached
34.5 million VND per year, while the rate of poor households has reduced 3

This is an important milestone in the movement of voluntary blood donation, creating a strong change in the awareness and action at all levels of the government and people from all walks of life.
