(HBO) – Preserving traditional cultural values has formed the basic foundation for Dich Giao commune, a locality inhabited by Muong ethnic people and located in the centre of Muong Bi region, to successfully develop a standout new style rural area model in Tan Lac district.


Dich Giao commune was recognised as a new style rural area in June 2015. Local Party, authorities and people have continued their efforts to mobilise social resources to improve its realised criteria. The commune has upgraded and expanded many rural roads in accordance with set criteria. Roads running through Khang, Sung 2 and Sung 3 hamlets were enlarged to 3.5 metres in width.

The commune has paid due attention to ensuring rural environment. Along with signing commitments with the authorities to protect the environment in production and breeding, local people have maintained road clean-ups to ensure public health. Responsibilities of local individuals are concretised in each hamlet’s regulations. Accordingly, local residents voluntarily clean up rural roads in every Saturday.

Bui Van Dinh, Chairman of the Dich Giao commune People’s Committee, said: "The commune’s success in implementing the national programme on building new style rural areas is spurred by the consensus of local officials and Party members who have set good examples and played pioneering roles in the mission”.

Notably, Dich Giao has prioritised the preservation of traditional cultural values. Despite the changing life, it is still common to see traditional costumes to be worn by local people or hear stories and greetings in ethnic languages. It becomes the ideology of local people in the new style area building process.

During the construction of rural infrastructure, more than 700 households donated their lands. Among families giving hundreds of metres of land are Bui Van Hau’s family in La hamlet and Bui Thi Thoan’s family in Sung 1 hamlet. Currently, 11 out of 14 hamlets in the commune are cultural villages and more than 85 percent of households are recognised as cultural families./.
