The Veterans’ Association of Lac Thuy district has just organised its "Exemplary Veterans" emulation congress for the 2019 – 2024 period.
Leader of the district People's Committee awards
certificates of merit to individuals with outstanding achievements in the
emulation movement.
Implementing the movement, the district association has well
done the work of protecting the Party, the government, the socialist regime,
and the people; and continuously innovated the contents and methods of
operation. The movement has helped speed up poverty reduction among officials
and members. In 2024, the association entrusted over 121 billion VND (4.75
million USD) to provide loans for 2,215 members for economic development,
poverty reduction and legal enrichment. At present, 2.3% of the association’s
members are poor households.
From 2019 - 2024, officials and members have contributed
5,620 working days, donated nearly 10,000sq.m of land to build public welfare
works. The association has built 175 "Clean houses, beautiful gardens, clean
environment, civilised villages” models, 112 self-managed roads. The charity
fund of veterans and socialisation work have helped upgrade and repair 25
houses for members, with a total value of 560 million VND. To date, 98% of the
members of the district association have achieved the title of exemplary
veterans.
In the coming time, the association will continue to step up
the implementation of the movement encouraging members to stay united to help
one another develop the economy, and improve living conditions; and mobilise
them to actively participate in local socio-economic programmes, and help those
living in difficult circumstances.
At the congress, 12 collectives and 25 individuals with
outstanding achievements in the emulation movement in the period were awarded
certificates of merit by the Chairperson of the district People's Committee and
the district Veterans’ Association.
Welcoming the delegation, Toan provided them with an overview of the province's labour and employment situation, emphasising that in recent years, the provincial Party Committee and authorities have paid significant attention to labour export, created favourable conditions and offered policy support to promote the sending of local workers abroad under contracts.
Mutual love and support is a long-standing tradition of Vietnam. In any circumstance, the Vietnamese people always uphold the traditional spirit of staying united and supporting one another to surmount difficulties and adversities. Continuing this fine tradition, in the face of the 1945 famine, President Ho Chi Minh initiated the "Rice jar to save the hungry” movement and took the lead in implementing this campaign by abstaining from one meal each week to save rice for those without food. His example of morality and affection for people has been and is being followed by residents across Hoa Binh province.
