Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee Phan Huy Ngoc: Application of science and technology must have specific purposes and clear directions.

On the morning of July 10, comrade Phan Huy Ngoc, Deputy Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee, Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee, had a working session with leaders of the Departments of Science and Technology, Agriculture and Environment, Education and Training, Industry and Trade and Health on the implementation results and orientations for application and development of science and technology (S&T) in implementing key tasks of the sectors.

Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee Phan Huy Ngoc delivered a concluding speech at the conference.

Reports from departments and branches show that in recent years, the province has paid special attention to the field of science and technology. In the period of 2021-2025, the province has allocated over 672 billion VND to carry out science and technology tasks (old Tuyen Quang province over 283 billion VND, old Ha Giang over 389 billion VND). Thereby, a number of outstanding results have been achieved such as information technology infrastructure meeting the requirements in handling administrative procedures, document management, improving operational efficiency and work resolution.

Leaders of the Department of Science and Technology reported on the implementation of science and technology application programs in the first 6 months of the year.

Many applied and transferred science topics in the fields of agriculture, forestry, natural resources and environment, industry and trade, and health have brought about practical results in improving productivity, quality, and brand of agricultural products and goods circulation, taking care of people's health, managing resources, and preventing and combating natural disasters.

Thereby, contributing to helping the economic growth rate (GRDP) of Tuyen Quang province (after the merger) in the first 6 months of 2025 increase by 7.29%, ranking 8th/14 provinces in the Northern Midlands and Mountains; ranking 25th/34 provinces and cities after the merger.

Department leaders attended the meeting

However, with so much potential and advantage in agricultural development, the application of science and technology has not met expectations due to low labor productivity, small-scale production models, outdated technology, no outstanding branded products, and low product value. Digital transformation in healthcare, education, and quality still has many limitations. Digital technology infrastructure of departments, branches, and units has been invested but has not been used synchronously, widely, and is not highly effective...

From the practical situation, leaders of the sectors proposed a number of directions for applying science and technology in areas such as: converting crop varieties, developing strong livestock, replicating agricultural production models, increasing product value, attracting high-tech investment, green and sustainable investment, developing border trade economy, e-commerce and smart industrial clusters, investing in building infrastructure and digital human resources in the fields of health, education and training, especially in remote areas; building application software to connect and exchange two-way information between the sectors of the province and 124 communes and wards, etc.

Department leaders attended the meeting.

Concluding the working session, Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee Phan Huy Ngoc assessed that the departments and branches have initially deployed tasks of applying science and technology into the activities of the branches and fields in the spirit of Resolution 57 of the Politburo.

Comrade Phan Huy Ngoc supported the proposals for applying science and technology of the departments in the coming time. At the same time, he requested the Department of Science and Technology to strengthen learning from the experiences of other localities, along with the practical situation of the province to propose plans for implementation, investment, implementation areas and application of science and technology in various fields with specific purposes, clear directions, and defining the roles and responsibilities of coordinating agencies and units.

Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee Phan Huy Ngoc requested that in the agricultural sector, it is necessary to identify the role of science and technology as the focus in improving productivity, quality and value of products, and growth value of the sector and the province. At the same time, he requested that all levels and sectors accelerate the synchronization of infrastructure and software in administrative management and operation, avoid waste and promote the effectiveness of existing infrastructure, and gradually modernize digital infrastructure to improve management and operation capacity.

Comrade Phan Huy Ngoc emphasized: applying science and technology in the fields of life, society, and state management contributes to the growth of the province and real and effective digital transformation.
