Soc Son - a land rich in cultural and historical traditions, is transforming strongly thanks to the new rural construction program. After nearly 15 years of implementation, Soc Son has not only exceeded the set targets but also affirmed its pioneering position in rural development in Hanoi , thanks to the wise leadership and consensus of the government and people.
Infrastructure Development - A Solid Foundation for Modern New Rural Areas
By the end of 2024, Soc Son has achieved remarkable achievements. The whole district has 18/25 communes meeting advanced NTM standards, exceeding 48% of the assigned target, along with 11 communes meeting model NTM standards, exceeding 28% of the target. These figures are not only an affirmation of the tireless efforts but also reflect the strategic vision in rural development of Soc Son.
According to Mr. Bui Duy Cuong, Secretary of Soc Son District Party Committee: "Building a new rural area has a starting point but no ending point, so localities continue to closely follow the regulations and directions of the City Party Committee and the City People's Committee to effectively implement the programs of the City Party Committee and District Party Committee. Strive in the period of 2025-2030, the whole district will have 100% of communes meeting advanced new rural standards, 80% of communes meeting model new rural standards, 2 smart new rural communes and complete the construction of an advanced new rural district in 2025.

In Quang Tien commune, thanks to the investment capital of hundreds of billions of VND, all main roads have been upgraded, ensuring standards and having modern lighting systems. The average income per capita here reaches more than 76 million VND/year, there are no more poor households. This is one of the typical communes of Soc Son in implementing advanced and exemplary NTM.
Developing agriculture in a modern and sustainable direction is the top priority in building a new rural area in Soc Son. The district has formed many specialized production areas such as high-quality rice, organic vegetables, and safe vegetables. In particular, dozens of agricultural production models applying high technology have brought about outstanding economic efficiency.
Mr. Do Minh Tuan, Vice Chairman of the People's Committee of Soc Son district, shared: "The district has synchronously implemented many economic development solutions, gradually improving people's lives, especially in agricultural development. Thanks to that, up to now, the district has 24 production and consumption chains with high economic efficiency, notably: high-tech mushrooms, Minh Phu microbiological chicken, Bac Son and Xuan Giang medicinal herbs, Bac Son safe tea, Tung Duong chicken eggs, Mai Dinh and Phu Cuong high-tech vegetables, Thanh Xuan organic vegetables..."
The district has 21 high-tech agricultural production models. The models have promoted economic efficiency, suitable for local reality. Soc Son has also developed brands for 8 agricultural products, in addition to more than 10 agricultural product brands produced by cooperatives, enterprises, and households, and more than 100 product types with QR Code traceability.
From a purely agricultural district with backward production, Soc Son has gradually formed a concentrated agricultural production area, applying high technology to production to help reduce the time for land preparation, planting, harvesting, reducing seasonal pressure, freeing up labor to switch to other small-scale industries, and increasing farmers' income.
Currently, the mechanization in rice production, vegetable and fruit cultivation has reached 100% in the land preparation stage, 100% use of machinery in the harvesting and threshing stages. Soc Son district has 112 agricultural cooperatives. The cooperatives have performed well the task of public irrigation services, gradually creating changes in agricultural production, contributing to promoting socio-economic development in the area, creating a foundation for restructuring the agricultural sector and completing the criteria in the national criteria set for new rural construction.
Another highlight is the development of the OCOP product brand with 146 certified products. These products have appeared on many large shelves, affirming their quality and reputation in the market, while helping farmers increase their income and build local brands.
Improving people's lives - The most meaningful goal
Building a new rural area is not only about improving infrastructure but also about improving the material and spiritual life of the people. If the average income per capita of the whole district in 2023 reaches 71.3 million VND/person/year. The current poverty rate is 0.04%, the average income per capita of the whole district in 2024 will reach 76 million VND. By the end of 2024, there will be no more poor households in the district; the rate of households using centralized clean water will reach 95%; the number of households using hygienic water according to national standards will reach 100%; 93.5% of villages and hamlets will recognize and maintain the title of cultural villages and hamlets...
According to the assessment of the Office of Coordination of the Hanoi New Rural Development Program, the construction of the new rural areas in Soc Son district has been implemented very systematically, drastically, synchronously and has achieved clear results. In particular, the communes that have just been recognized as advanced new rural areas and after only 5-6 months have continued to meet the conditions to be recognized as meeting the standards of model new rural areas.
This is an impressive step forward for Soc Son. This sweet fruit is thanks to the close leadership and direction of the government as well as the participation and consensus of all the people in the area.
Despite many achievements, Soc Son still faces many challenges. Some criteria such as clean water, standard schools, and attracting businesses to invest in agriculture still face many difficulties. High-tech agricultural preservation and processing have not yet developed strongly, while the risk of disease in livestock and poultry is always latent.
Vice Chairman of Soc Son District People's Committee Do Minh Tuan commented: "We are focusing on solving these difficulties by mobilizing social resources, improving support policies and promoting investment in weak areas."
Towards the 2025-2030 period, Soc Son aims for 100% of communes to meet advanced NTM standards, 80% to meet model NTM standards and build 2 smart communes. The district also aims to develop synchronous infrastructure, attract investment and apply science and technology to agricultural production.

In particular, the district is committed to promoting the development of value chains for key agricultural products, developing rural tourism, and creating more jobs for the people. Maintaining the spirit of solidarity and consensus between the government and the people will be the decisive factor for Soc Son to continue on this journey.
The achievements in building new rural areas in Soc Son are a vivid proof of the continuous efforts of the entire political system and the people. From a purely agricultural district with a low starting point, Soc Son has risen strongly, becoming a bright spot in rural development in Hanoi.
With determination and clear strategy, Soc Son not only improves the quality of life for the people but also creates a sustainable foundation to go further. The journey of building a new rural area in Soc Son has been, is and will continue to be the pride of the people here, affirming a promising future for this land rich in tradition.
