(HBO) – The standing committee of the Ho Chi Minh Communist Youth Union’s Hoa Binh chapter and the Republic of Korea (RoK)’s GNI organisation in Vietnam recently held a programme to review the second phase of the GNI-aided project on building a youth cultural centre in the province (2014-2018).
Attending
the event were leaders from the chapter, the provincial Department of Labour,
Invalids and Social Affairs, and representatives from the RoK organization,
along with over 300 students across Hoa Binh city.
Representatives
from the GNI organisation and leaders from the provincial chapter of the HCM
Communist Youth Union present scholarships to poor children with outstanding
academic performance at the centre.
The second phase of the project was carried
out from January 2014 to December 2018 with the aim of continuously
implementing or replacing some activities in the first phase, as well as
enabling youths from Hoa Binh city to join intensive courses and sports,
extracurricular and social activities, and use library services to develop
intellectual and physical strengths.
The project is carried out in four communes and
wards of Hoa Binh city, namely Thinh Lang, Thai Binh, Thong Nhat, and Dan Chu.
Its main activities are about library and training. During the five-year
implementation of the second phase, the project provided various kinds of books
for the library.
At present, the library has around 10,000 copies with rich contents and
suitable for young readers. In this period, the project trained around 1,338
primary, secondary and high school students with the subjects of English,
Korean, music, art, computing, martial arts, and sports.
The centre now has a multi-purpose house
covering over 500 square metres, four classrooms, one library, one working
house, and a 900-square-metre playground, creating a healthy learning and
playing environment for children.
At the event, representatives of the project
granted 50 scholarships worth 500,000 VND each to needy children at the centre.
Administrative reform has been identified as a key priority in enhancing state governance, improving the business environment, and facilitating services for citizens and enterprises.
The Standing Board of the Hoa Binh provincial Party Committee met on March 18 to review and guide major investment projects aimed at boosting local socio-economic development.
The air is thick with the hum of drills and the clatter of machinery as the Hoa Binh – Moc Chau expressway takes shape amid the rugged terrain. Welding sparks illuminate the faces of workers, and concrete mixers churn relentlessly, laying fresh pavement on the newly-carved road. The construction site buzzes with a palpable sense of urgency, particularly in Hoa Binh province where the expressway's future is being forged.
The northern province of Hoa Binh, with over 467,000 hectares of natural forest and more than 100,000 hectares of production forest, holds significant potential for carbon credit market development.
Replacing substandard houses with more sturdy ones by June 30 is the direction given by Nguyen Phi Long, alternate member of the Party Central Committee and Secretary of the Hoa Binh provincial Party Committee, at a meeting held in early March by the provincial Steering Committee for the programme to eliminate temporary and dilapidated houses for the needy.
Recognising digital transformation as an inevitable trend, authorities and agencies in Hoa Binh have made great efforts in the work by focusing on three core pillars - digital government, digital society, and digital economy, resulting in enhanced competitiveness, improved investment climate, and ensured economic and social welfare.
