(HBO) – Van Son commune of Lac Son district, Hoa Binh province, has since 2017 been among the beneficiaries of Programme 135 which targets particularly disadvantaged communes nationwide. Thanks to priority given to the paving of roads linking communes and hamlets and those traversing farmland, transport infrastructure has been improved considerably, thereby creating a turning point in local socio-economic development.
Roads connecting villages in Van Son commune of Lac Son
district have been paved, thus facilitating travel and goods transport.
Vice Chairman of the Van Son communal People’s
Committee Bui Van Nen said thanks to assistance from the programme, transport
infrastructure has gained a facelift and some irrigation facilities built to
help with agricultural development.
Local roads have had about 70 percent of their
total length concreted over, including those from the Van Son Primary and
Senior High School to Roc Khum village, from the commune’s centre to Tre
village of Thuong Coc commune, from Roc Khum village to Khang Trao village, and
from the communal People’s Committee office to Bung village of Nhan Nghia
commune. Another road from Khang Trao village to Ray village is set to be
upgraded this year, the official noted.
In the past, unfavourable road conditions
hampered socio-economic development in Van Son commune for a long period of
time. Thanks to Programme 135, this rural area has undergone substantial
improvement, thereby facilitating goods transport, house construction and
repair, as well as the ensuring of political security and social order and
safety.
Per capita income increased from 17 million VND
(over 730 USD at the current exchange rate) in 2017 to 24 million VND in 2019,
and it is expected to reach 28 million VND this year./.
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.
In recent years, Da Bac district has improved administrative reform with a one-stop shop mechanism, streamlined inter-agency procedures, and a shift to digital platforms. These efforts have enhanced public service efficiency and contributed to local socio-economic development.
