(HBO) - At the end of July, communes in Yen Thuy district enthusiastically took part in the first contest for model residential areas and advanced new-style rural communes, which was held by the district’s Vietnam Fatherland Front (VFF) Committee and socio-political organisations. Other districts also held similar contest in line with the schedule set by the provincial VFF Committee.

Residents in Dan Chu ward’s group 13 participate in a model named "civilised streets, garbage-free residential areas".

Vice Chairman of the provincial VFF Committee Dang Bich Ngoc said the contest contributed to promoting and improving the effectiveness of the campaign "All people unite to build new rural area, urban civilisation" sponsored by the VFF. On April 8, 2016, the provincial Party Committee issued Directive No. 13-CT/TU on strengthening the Party's leadership over the campaign.

Thanks to concerted efforts from both the political system and the people, local rural and urban areas have been given a facelift. During the 10 years implementing new-style rural building, locals have donated 109.72 billion VND (4.7 million USD), over 2.4 million working days, over 979,000 m2 of land, and more than 2.3 trillion VND worth of materials and machines.

The province has formed large-scale concentrated production areas and consolidated the brand names of many products such as Hoa Binh purple sugarcane, Cao Phong orange, Tan Lac red pomelo, Son Thuy longan, Da river fish, and Lac Thuy goat.

The province is home to 500 production models and 22 value chains. A large number of models in residential areas have been built, replicated, and promoted effectively. They included the "civilised streets, garbage-free residential areas" model in Hoa Binh city; and the "residential areas self-managing environmental sanitation and promoting mutual support for economic development” in Tan Lac district.

As of June 2020, there were 53 communes recognized as new-style rural areas and 39 residential areas meeting standards for model new-style rural areas./.
