(HBO) – In this year's rainy season, the travel by residents in Lac Luong commune is much more convenient. There are no longer muddy roads, as they have been asphalted and concreted. In late March, villagers were delighted and proud to receive a certificate recognising the commune as meeting new-style rural standards. Earlier, other particularly difficult rural areas of Yen Thuy district such as Huu Loi and Bao Hieu were also recognised as fulfilling new-style rural building criteria. By now, three out of the five extremely difficult communes in the district have completed this work.


New-style rural building has contributed to creating a green, clean and beautiful landscape for Yen Tri commune (Yen Thuy). 


Implementing the National Target Programme on New-style Rural Area Building, Yen Thuy district has invested resources in upgrading its roads. To date, 100% of the district, communal and inter-commune roads have been asphalted and concreted; and 89% of the main roads of villages and hamlets and 71% of their alleys concreted and cemented. 

Along with infrastructure, social welfare activities in the district have received due attention. The work of building communes in accordance with the national standards on health has been implemented effectively. Currently, the whole district has all the 11 communes and township that meet the national standards of health, with the rate of people participating in health insurance reaching 95%. Regarding the building of cultural life, the percentage of families of culture accounts for 88%, and that of cultural residential areas, about 96%. At present, 31 out of the 38 schools, equal to 81.57%, have been recognised as meeting national standards. The district is striving to raise the proportion to 89.47% by the end of 2023. 

Bui Huyen, Vice Chairman of the Yen Thuy district People's Committee, said that the national target programme on new-style rural area building for the 2021-2025 period has received attention by the Party committees at all levels, and the active participation of people and the society. The material and spiritual life of people has been raised. To date, eight out of the district’s 10 communes have been recognised as meeting new-style rural building standards, and one as a model new-style rural area. The effectiveness of the programme has made an important contribution to promoting the local socio-economic development, building and embellishing infrastructure, and especially improving the quality of life of local people.
