(HBO) – Lac Thinh commune in Yen Thuy district was recognised as a new-style rural area at a ceremony held by the district People’s Committee on the occasion of the opening of the 13th National Party Congress on January 25.
Yen Thuy district so far has six out of ten communes meetingnew-style

standards.
The Yen Thuy safe agricultural cooperative is taking the lead in associating
with the value chain, applying VietGAP standards in production activities, and
signing contracts with enterprises to link production and consumption of
products.
According to Chairman of the district People's Committee Bui Van Hai, over the
recent years, the national target programme on new style rural area building
has been implemented effectively in the locality, contributing to raising
public awareness of the importance of the programme, and promoting the crucial
role played by local residents in the scheme.
As a result, income and living standards of the people have been improved and
the rural areas have been given a facelift, laying a solid foundation for the
local authorities to continue implementing the programme and further promoting
advanced new-style commune, model new-style rural residential area and garden
building movement.
To achieve that result, the mobilisation of resources for infrastructure
development and collective economic development plays a key role in the
modernisation of agriculture and rural areas in the locality.
In 2020, 123 projects were launched in the district, using the State budget,
including provincial, central, district budgets; targeted supplementary
capital, and capital from the national target programmes on new-style rural area
building and sustainable poverty reduction programmes.
Notably, 25 transport works with a total length of about 11.8km were built,
plus six educational projects, five irrigation works, one stadium and one solid
waste treatment facility.
In addition, the
district People's Committee directed authorities of communes and townships to
launch a campaign calling people to participate in building rural roads with a
total length of 260.4 km in 2020. The campaign mobilised 683.5 million VND.
Meanwhile, 0.7km of rural road was concreted with a total investment of 586
million VND, of which 380 million VND sourced from the State budget, and 206
million VND was contributed by local people.
Relevant agencies have coordinated with the district’s electricity sector to
review and roll out investment plans for building electrical works in line with
the locality’s socio-economic development planning.
In 2020, 10 power grid projects were developed in the district, costing 19.33
billion VND. Of which, two belong to the electricity supply programme in rural
and mountainous areas with a total investment of 4.89 billion VND.
Up to now, all local households have gainedaccessto
thenational grid, and all the ten communes have met the criteria for
electricity access in the new-style rural area building programme.
Along with infrastructure development, many new models of cooperatives
associating with value chains and applying VietGAP standards in production were
established. Those have signed contracts to link production and consumptionofproducts
with enterprises in order to create jobs and improve income for labourers,
contributing to promoting the local socio-economic development.
In 2020, seven cooperatives and four cooperative groups were set up in the
district, lifting the number of cooperatives and cooperative groups to 33 and
39, respectively, generating jobs for about 2,000 labourers with a monthly per
capita income of about 3 million VND.
Under the close and drastic leadership of the Party committees and authorities at
all levels, the active involvement of the entire political system and the
positive response of local people, on average, each commune in the Yen Thuy
district has finished 16.5 criteria set in the national target programme on
new-style rural area building, and no commune finished less than 10 criteria.
The district has nine model residential areas and 42 model gardens. Per capita
income reached 41.2 million VND per year. The poverty rate decreased to 8.38
percent.
Eight out of ten communes were recognised as meeting national criteria on
health. 96.5 percent of the district’s population has held health insurance
cards. The rate of trained workers stands at 53.58 percent, while 80 percent of
households and 91 out of 115 villages met cultural standards./.
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.
