With the immense sacrifices and outstanding achievements of the Party Committee, military, and people of Bu Dang during the resistance war against the US, the district was honored to be awarded the title of Heroic Unit of the People's Armed Forces by the President of Vietnam, along with 5 communes, including Dong Nai , Thong Nhat, Bom Bo, Dak Nhau, Nghia Trung, and 2 individuals posthumously awarded the title of Heroic Unit of the People's Armed Forces: martyr Dieu Ong and martyr Doan Duc Thai.
OVERCOMING DIFFICULTIES
After liberation, the Party Committee, government, and people of Bu Dang district began to overcome the consequences of war, rebuilding and constructing a new life amidst the ruins and countless difficulties. In November 1976, Bu Dang district was merged into Phuoc Long district. In 1988, in response to the demands of the reform process, Bu Dang district was re-established according to Decision No. 112/QD-HDBT of the Council of Ministers (now the Government). The people of Bu Dang were joyful, enthusiastic, and actively competed in labor, production, and building their homeland. In 2008, the district was awarded the Second Class Labor Medal by the President of Vietnam for its achievements in the reform process.
Provincial Party Committee member and Secretary of the Bu Dang District Party Committee, Vu Luong, stated: “When the district was re-established, it had 7 communes with a population of approximately 30,000 people, of which nearly 50% were ethnic minorities. The economy was primarily agricultural with backward farming practices; the cashew plantation area was only about 2,500 hectares; the lives of the people, especially ethnic minorities, were very difficult, with more than 60% of households facing food shortages annually, requiring state assistance. The general level of education was low, and backward customs and superstitions still persisted. The entire district only had 10 schools with 85 classrooms, mostly made of bamboo and thatch; only one secondary school with a few dozen students; students frequently had to attend classes in shifts. The healthcare sector faced difficulties and shortages; epidemics occurred frequently, especially malaria. It can be seen that in the early days after the district's re-establishment, the Party Committee, the military, and the people faced many challenges.” Bu Dang faces countless difficulties and challenges.
EFFORTS TO BUILD AND DEVELOP
Over 50 years of construction and development, the Party Committee, government, military, and people of Bu Dang district have made remarkable progress, especially thanks to the correct leadership of the district Party Committee through 8 congresses, leading to many proud achievements in the reconstruction and development of the homeland. On the land of the past battlefield, the landscape is changing day by day; green covers the hills and mountains with various industrial crops, electricity, roads, schools, and health stations have reached even the smallest villages and hamlets, and the lives of the people are becoming increasingly prosperous and happy.
Throughout each term, the District Party Committee has left a profound and distinct mark, demonstrating a spirit of self-reliance, self-strength, dynamism, creativity, and overcoming difficulties to achieve progress. In the process of leadership and guidance, the District Party Committee has always adhered to the Party's principles, applying and concretizing the Party's guidelines and policies, and the State's laws and regulations to the actual situation of the district. At the same time, it has effectively leveraged collective intelligence in leadership, guidance, and implementation, achieving many important accomplishments in all areas of social life.
From primarily cultivating upland rice and other crops, the people have now shifted to growing high-value industrial and fruit crops. Budget revenue in recent years has consistently met and exceeded the targets set by the province and district. Along with the implementation of the national target program for building new rural areas and the breakthrough program on "Strengthening the socialization of rural road and electricity construction; promoting projects to increase land use revenue for infrastructure investment," the face of rural Bu Dang has changed significantly day by day. The strength of national unity has been promoted, and national defense, security, and social order have been maintained...

In addition, Duc Phong town has undergone significant transformation, with an increasingly modern urban appearance. Planning continues to enhance connectivity between the town and neighboring localities, creating new development spaces and momentum for the town's breakthrough and development in the future. Simultaneously, the district Party Committee consistently prioritizes resources for investment in the construction, repair, and upgrading of school facilities. National target programs on healthcare are also being effectively implemented.
Party building work has been strengthened, and the political system from the district level to the grassroots has been increasingly consolidated and developed. To date, the entire district Party Committee has 60 grassroots Party organizations, 237 branches directly under the grassroots Party committees, with more than 4,200 Party members. The district Party Committee has achieved the "clean and strong" rating for many years.
Looking back over the 50 years since liberation, the Party Committee, government, and people of Bu Dang district are always excited and proud of the achievements. With that mindset, we believe that Bu Dang has been, is, and will continue to rise strongly, will have a new appearance and a new stature, worthy of the expectations and trust of the people.
