Lac Thuy District: Nearly 5,000 billion VND invested in building new rural areas and poverty reduction

After nearly 5 years of synchronous implementation of national target programs, Lac Thuy district has mobilized a total capital of nearly 5,000 billion VND for new rural construction and sustainable poverty reduction. Of which, credit capital accounts for 66%, showing the important role of banks, businesses and people in rural construction.

An Binh Commune (Lac Thuy) mobilized forces to contribute working days to repair houses for families with special difficulties in the area.

According to the report of Lac Thuy District People's Committee, in the period of 2021 - 2025, the whole district contributed 188.9 billion VND from people and the community, donated more than 22,000m² of land, 240,000 working days, launched a movement to build 47 model gardens and 21 model residential areas. The average income per capita in rural areas reached 77 million VND/year; the poverty rate decreased to 4.91%.

However, the completion of the targets according to the new set of criteria still has many difficulties: no commune has met the advanced new rural standards, no commune has met the model standards and the whole district has only met 8/9 criteria for the advanced new rural district. Many criteria such as schools, healthcare , and clean water still lack sustainability.
