Youth union members of Luong Son district disseminate and guide people in Khuoc hamlet to install and use online public services. 

According to Bui Van Diep, Secretary of the Cao Son commune Party Committee, Khuoc hamlet used to be an isolated area with no roads. There was a time when the only way to get to the hamlet was to walk along a mountain trail. In 2019, it was still the most difficult hamlet in the district and one of the 36 most underprivileged in the province. 

Bui Van Tuong, head of Khuoc hamlet, recalled that before 2020, there was no road to the hamlet, more than 50 households with more than 220 members, mainly belonging to the Muong and Dao ethnic groups, did not know how to grow corn and cassava, or raise any animals. 

Since the State supported investment in building a concrete road from the commune centre to the hamlet in 2020, the hamlet has been given a facelift, and its people's lives have also changed in a positive way. The hamlet has now basically eliminated temporary and dilapidated houses. 

To achieve these results, Tuong said, it is thanks to the effective support and assistance of all levels, sectors, the drastic direction of the commune, and the close participation of the Party cell and the hamlet management board in encouraging and supporting people to change crop structure and production thinking, and use new crops and varieties with high productivity and value. As a result, corn and cassava fields have gradually been replaced by orange and grapefruit orchards. Thanks to orange and grapefruit trees, many households have an annual income of up to hundreds of millions of VND. 

According to the Secretary of the Cao Son commune Party Committee, local people have also focused on raising livestock and poultry, thus earning higher economic efficiency. As a result, many households with difficult starting points have gradually risen out of poverty.
