Go through the challenges
Talking to reporters, Chairman of Dong Hoi City People's Committee Hoang Ngoc Dan said: When starting to implement the New Rural Development Program in 6 communes, Dong Hoi also encountered fundamental difficulties and challenges, such as: Infrastructure is still limited, rural transportation system is not synchronized; cultural, medical and educational facilities are still lacking, not meeting the needs of the people, while commercial and service activities in the communes are still fragmented and quiet; the lives of a part of the rural population are still difficult, income depends heavily on traditional agricultural production with low efficiency.
In addition, Dong Hoi is also one of the localities in the province that regularly suffers from severe impacts from climate change, floods, marine environmental incidents, etc., which significantly affect socio -economic development. Next, the system of mechanisms and policies of the Central Government has many changes, towards improving standards and quality for communes and districts that meet the standards of NTM, advanced NTM and model NTM... requiring all efforts to be even greater.
The material and spiritual life of people in new rural communes has improved dramatically with cultural and sports activities.
Faced with that situation, the Party Committee, government and people of the city have united, demonstrated high political determination and correct solutions, aroused the spirit of self-reliance, self-improvement and awareness of each citizen. Taking advantage of its strategic geographical location and possessing rich tourism resources, Dong Hoi has formed a strong and widespread emulation movement to build new rural areas throughout the city, spreading to every village, hamlet, and household...
“Starting from a low base, being a purely agricultural commune, people’s lives are difficult, infrastructure is lacking and weak… but with solidarity, unity, Duc Ninh has focused on building and constructing rural areas, for the benefit of the people to build a new rural area with comprehensive development in all areas. The consistent guiding viewpoint of the Party Committee and the communal government is to take each household as the main subject, building a new rural area starting from each household, focusing on developing individual household economies, gradually moving from building household economies to strong villages, beautiful landscapes, clean and green environment; in which, cadres and party members are the “locomotives” setting an example”, shared Secretary of the Duc Ninh Commune Party Committee Dang Thi Hung Vuong.
New countryside in new phase
Along with the determination and consensus of "Party's will, people's heart", the investment resources for new rural construction of localities in the city are not small, with a total implementation cost of nearly 805 billion VND; in which the main source is from the commune budget 74.7%, the city budget 10.6%, the people's contribution 2.4%...
Thanks to that, the rural appearance has changed dramatically, the communes have become spacious, green, clean and beautiful. In particular, essential infrastructure (transportation, irrigation, culture, health, education) has been upgraded synchronously. The rural economy has developed sustainably with the application of science and technology and high technology in agricultural production, contributing to increasing people's income, reducing the multidimensional poverty rate in rural areas to 0.28%. 100% of communes and wards have met national health standards; the cultural and spiritual life of the people has been improved; most of the rural labor force has been employed, the rate of trained laborers has reached 79%. The political system is strong, security and social order in the area are maintained...
