The national target programme on building new-style rural areas has given a facelift to Ngoc Luong as people’s livelihood improved. Building on results gained during the process, local authorities and people have rolled out measures to maintain the achieved outcomes and overcome difficulties so as to be recognised as exemplary new-style rural area in the 2021-24.

To raise local people’s income, the commune has bolstered production in line with restructuring the agricultural sector and rural economy, and enhancing links between the supply chain, production and consumption.

Despite complex developments of COVID-19, local residents donated more than 600 sq.m of land to build rural roads and grow trees in the first nine months of this year. They had also actively joined campaigns calling on people to build roads and irrigation works. In excess of 60 million VND (2,610 USD) had been mobilised from social sources.

Vice Chairman of Ngoc Luong People’s Committee Nguyen Xuan Thuy said at present, the commune is putting efforts to meet criteria of exemplary new-style rural areas.

 

However, various challenges remain in the process, particularly capital shortages and transport problems.

To meet the set targets, in the coming time, Ngoc Luong authorities will bolster communication work to reach consensus among people in the realisation of criteria in building new-style rural areas.

They will mobilise all resources to upgrade rural infrastructure and rural economy development and step up the implementation of the ‘One Commune, One Product’ (OCOP) programme. Centralised production areas will be set up.

Authorities will work to link production with the value chain and brand building for products, maintain and develop the collective economic model to create jobs and raise people’s income.

In addition, they are to conserve rural landscape, consolidate the transparent and stable political system, and pay attention to healthcare.
