With the tradition of “When drinking water, remember its source,” all levels and sectors in the province pay special attention to and effectively implement preferential policies for people with revolutionary contributions. This is not only a responsibility but also a deep gratitude of the Party Committee, government and people of Phu Tho province for the great sacrifices and contributions of generations of fathers and brothers for the independence and freedom of the Fatherland.

The payment of monthly subsidies and allowances is carried out promptly, to the right subjects, in accordance with regulations, ensuring that all people with meritorious services receive full support according to the provisions of law. A typical example is Phu Ninh commune, although it has just merged from 4 communes and towns of Phu Ninh, Phu Loc, Phu Nham and Phong Chau, but from the very beginning, local leaders have focused on taking care of people with meritorious services. The commune mobilized forces to renovate and repair the Martyrs' Cemetery; made monthly payments to 706 subjects; gave gifts from the President and the province to the subjects on the anniversary of the War Invalids and Martyrs' Day...

The health insurance policy for people with meritorious services is given special attention. Medical facilities in the province always prioritize medical examination and treatment, providing adequate medicine for people with meritorious services, contributing to improving the quality of life and prolonging the life of these subjects. The housing support program for people with meritorious services according to Decision No. 21/2024/QD-TTg of the Prime Minister on the level of support for building new or repairing houses for people with meritorious services to the revolution and relatives of martyrs has been actively implemented, helping thousands of families of people with meritorious services to improve their living conditions and have a place to settle down. Implementing Decision No. 21/2024/QD-TTg of the Prime Minister on the level of support for building new or repairing houses for people with meritorious services to the revolution and relatives of martyrs. The whole province has 1,580 households of meritorious people supported with a total amount of 62.22 billion VND (of which 494 households built new houses; 1,086 households renovated and repaired) with a total amount of 62.22 billion VND. In Phong Chau Ward, comrade Nguyen Duc Luong, Secretary of Phong Chau Ward Party Committee said: The whole ward has 21/43 temporary houses, dilapidated houses of meritorious people completed new construction and repair, the remaining 22 houses are in the process of completion. Determining this as one of the actions showing the close attention of sectors and localities to the material life of policy beneficiaries, the Party Committee, government and people in the ward are dedicated to helping the beneficiaries soon settle down, have a decent house, and stabilize their lives. Ensuring that meritorious people not only have a stable life but also enjoy the best social services and receive spiritual care.

Relatives of meritorious people, especially their children and grandchildren, enjoy preferential policies in education, creating favorable conditions for them to access knowledge, develop themselves, and become useful citizens for society. In addition to implementing policies according to State regulations, the province also actively promotes "Repaying gratitude" activities with many diverse and practical forms: Maintaining and strongly developing the "Repaying gratitude" Fund, mobilizing contributions from the community, businesses and social organizations to support meritorious people in difficult circumstances, building and repairing gratitude houses, giving savings books, medical examinations, providing free medicine... Visiting and giving gifts on holidays and Tet. This is a regular activity, demonstrating the timely attention and encouragement of provincial leaders, all levels, sectors and people towards meritorious people.

Provincial Department of Public Works staff reviewed and checked the records of policy beneficiaries after the merger.

According to the Department of Meritorious People, Department of Home Affairs, this year, the whole province has 68,691 gifts worth over 29 billion VND. In addition, there are gifts from the President for each subject. The construction and renovation of martyrs' cemeteries, memorials, and works honoring martyrs in the province have received attention for investment and renovation, becoming red addresses to educate the revolutionary tradition for the younger generation. Promoting the role of meritorious people, the province always encourages and creates conditions for meritorious people to continue to promote revolutionary qualities, participate in social activities, be exemplary in the community, and be a shining example for generations to follow.

Comrade Nguyen Duy Hieu, Head of the Department of Meritorious People, Department of Home Affairs said: In order for policies for Meritorious People to continue to be effective, it is necessary to promote digital transformation in the management of Meritorious People's records, helping to shorten processing time and increase transparency. Strengthen training for grassroots cadres to improve policy implementation capacity. In addition to the Central Government's policies, after merging the 3 provinces, the Department is planning to consult and propose unification of specific policies to support health recovery for Meritorious People and monthly support for youth volunteers who have completed their tasks in the resistance war; gift giving norms for revolutionary bases... At the same time, it is necessary to expand socialized resources, encourage businesses and the community to participate, creating a sustainable support ecosystem for Meritorious People. These synchronous and consistent efforts will contribute to building a fair, humane and traditional society, creating the foundation for the country's sustainable development in the new era.

The preferential policy for people with meritorious services in the province is not only a concretization of the Party and State's policies and guidelines, but also a vivid expression of the homeland's sentiments and responsibilities towards those who sacrificed their blood for independence and freedom. With the deep concern of leaders at all levels and the consensus of the people, the work of caring for people with meritorious services will continue to achieve new achievements, contributing to further embellishing the nation's noble tradition of "Repaying gratitude".
