Nuclear from the base

In the sunny and windy land of A Luoi, Pa Co Party member Ho Van Tun is mentioned by the people as an example of "practicing what he preaches". In addition to his role as Deputy Director of the Public Administrative Service Center of A Luoi 2 Commune, he also persistently develops a household economic model, combining livestock farming and afforestation. Every morning he gets up at 4:30, takes care of the chickens, ducks, and pigs, then goes to work at the office. Late in the afternoon, he returns to the barn, rolls up his sleeves to take care of the trees, plant acacia, and clean the barn.

To set an example for the people, he boldly borrowed 200 million VND to invest in barns, buy breeds, and expand the scale. Now, his farm has 6 sows, dozens of pigs, more than 150 poultry and 0.5 hectares of acacia; the annual income reaches more than 100 million VND. “At first, I was clumsy and had many difficulties in raising animals. After learning more disease prevention techniques, everything became more stable. With more income, family life has become better and better. Since then, my children have been able to study properly,” Mr. Tu shared.

Young Party member Nguyen Ngoc Phuoc, from A Luoi 2 commune, has proven himself by doing organic farming. After completing his military service, he returned to his hometown and borrowed capital to invest in growing vegetables, flowers, and raising chickens and ducks. In his small garden, Phuoc grows cucumbers, green beans, cabbage, lettuce, etc. to regularly supply to local markets. He also joined the Quang Nham Agricultural Service Cooperative to receive guidance on production according to biological processes. Each year, his model generates an income of about 250 - 300 million VND.

“Farming now cannot follow the old model, we must know how to apply techniques and calculate output. I hope people will change and move forward together,” said Mr. Phuoc. With that spirit, Mr. Phuoc is always ready to support households with financial difficulties, share farming experiences, guide them in growing clean vegetables, and raise free-range chickens to ensure both productivity and health for the community.

From such small models, the movement of party members developing the economy in the highlands is increasingly spreading. Party members Ho Van Gac, Ho Thanh Phuong, Ho Van Nhu… are typical examples in the movement of good economic performance, contributing to creating new vitality in the A Luoi border area.

For people to see and believe

According to Mr. Ho Quyet Thang, Secretary of the Party Committee of A Luoi 1 Commune, to sustainably reduce poverty, the important thing is to build a truly steadfast and exemplary team of Party members. “Party members must take the lead, not only campaigning but also doing it directly, so that people can see and believe,” Mr. Thang shared.

The exemplary role of the Party members has contributed to the socio-economic development of A Luoi 1 commune: Production value growth rate of 6.5% per year; average income per capita of 32.25 million VND; completion of 14/19 new rural criteria. In the new term, the Party Committee of the commune aims to reduce the multidimensional poverty rate to below 8% by 2030; at the same time, assigning each Party member to be in charge of helping poor households build specific livelihood models.

“We encourage each Party cell to have at least one economic model led by a Party member. Party members must be the core for people to follow,” Mr. Thang affirmed. This approach has helped the highlands change significantly: from lifestyle, livelihood to production thinking, everything has changed in a positive direction. People no longer wait or rely on others but proactively seek new directions for themselves.

Through specific and close actions, party members in the A Luoi highlands have become a solid support in the hearts of the people. They bring the pioneering and exemplary spirit of party members into every daily task, contributing to strengthening the people's trust in the Party; creating motivation for people to strive to do business, building their homeland to become more and more prosperous.
