(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.
Maximizing local potential and advantages, Yen Tri commune in Yen Thuy district is actively promoting the cultivation of medicinal herbs and turning medicinal herbs into One Commune - One Product (OCOP) products.

The cultivation of Dam Xanh fish (Bangana lemassoni), a unique fish species, has seen remarkable growth in Mai Chau district, thanks to its high economic value and effectiveness. Initially concentrated in Van Mai commune, farming has now extended to four other communes, namely Mai Hich, Mai Ha, Chieng Chau, and Son Thuy. These areas benefit from pristine underground water flowing from mountain crevices, providing ideal conditions for raising this specialty fish.
