(HBO) – Khuoc hamlet in Cao Son commune, Luong Son district, Hoa Binh province, was once isolated from the outside world. There was only a trail leading to the locality.
Thanks to the
upgrading of the local transport system, Khuoc villagers have experienced
changes in their lives.
According to Bui Van Tuong, head of the hamlet, before the
upgrading of the local transport system, more than 50 households there, mainly
belonging to Muong and Dao ethnic groups, only cultivated corn and cassava.
After a concrete road running through the mountain and connecting Khuoc with
other hamlets and low-lying areas was built, the living standards of local
residents have been improved.
Many households have utilised scientific-technological
applications in planting trees of high economic values like orange and pomelo.
The hamlet has also been known as a source of cows, chickens
and goats in Luong Son. Thanks to new mindset and investments in production,
many of the households have escaped from the poverty, even becoming well-off.
Statistics show that in 2022, up to 80% of the households
were recognised as cultural ones. More than 60% of the residents participated
in health insurance. The average income of each resident stood at 35 million
VND.
Tuong said there were only nine poor and near-poor
households in the hamlet, noting that the locality will focus on supporting the
households, with the pioneering role of Party members to be carried forward in
the efforts.
In recent years, under the leadership of the provincial Party Committee and People’s Council, and through the concerted efforts of local Party organisations, authorities, and ethnic communities, Hoa Binh province has achieved significant progress in implementing ethnic affairs and policies. These efforts have brought a new face-lift to ethnic-minority-inhabited and mountainous areas, according to Ha Van Di, Head of the Ethnic Affairs Board of Hoa Binh province.
