Thanh Ha residents grow flowers along the sides
of the road to create a clean, beautiful and green landscape.
Tran Duc Manh, head of the village said this year Thanh Ha was honoured as it was selected for building a model new-style rural area.
The village’s Party cell has paid special attention to mass mobilisation and public communications work from the beginning, he said, adding that the cell had assigned Party members to persuade each family to participate in implementing criteria of a model new-style rural area. As a result, local residents have joined in planting flowers along 1,000 m of roads and concretising 1.5 km of roads.
The work has created a driving force for locals to shakeup the structure of their crops and husbandry, apply technologies, and replace low-value trees in their gardens with citrus trees which produce higher economic value. Of the total 136 households in the village, 123 have renovated their gardens. The village currently has nearly 90 hectares of citrus trees, with a local garden of Tran Duc Hung and his family recognised as a model garden. In 2020, the average per capita income of the village is estimated at 41 million VND (1,775 USD), with no households rated as poor. Thanh Ha has seen 84.6 percent of its households obtaining the cultural family tittle. The village has sustained the title of cultural village since 2010.
The village has also focused on creating a green, clean, and beautiful landscape. All 136 households have access to hygienic drinking water. Among 101 households engaging in animal raising, 93 have built barns meeting environmental sanitation standards. Locals are now aware of the classification and treatment of waste, while the local road system has drainage ditches. The discharge of garbage and pesticide bottles into rivers and streams is strictly prohibited, while once a week, all villagers join in cleaning the entire village./.
