Having the opportunity to visit Nam Lan 2 village, we were surprised by the changes here. First of all, we must mention the newly opened road through the limestone mountain, connecting Chi Lang commune with the new Van Linh commune. If before, from National Highway 1A, we had to travel 22 km to reach Nam Lan 2 village, now, thanks to the new road, traveling is much easier and closer. This must be attributed to the great contribution of the Nam Lan 2 village Party Cell in the work of mobilizing people to donate land to open the road.

Mr. Luong Van Cuong, Party Cell Secretary and Head of Nam Lan 2 Village, said: The village currently has 116 households with 540 people; their livelihoods depend on agricultural and forestry production activities. Previously, trading goods and developing the economy in the area faced many difficulties due to the distance from the center. To reach National Highway 1A, people had to travel a distance of 22 km, many sections of the road were degraded and damaged.

“Over the past years, the Party cell of Nam Lan 2 village has actively guided, propagated, and mobilized people to develop the economy from growing custard apples. In particular, the village Party cell has done a good job of mobilizing people to donate land to open roads, connect traffic, create convenience and promote economic development in the area.”

Since 2021, when the State has a policy to invest in opening a new road connecting Chi Lang town with Y Tich commune (old), people in the village are very excited. Along with the joy, many households also expressed concerns about the impact of opening a new road on the custard apple growing area - the main livelihood of the people here.

Mr. Cuong shared: The whole village has 12 households whose land is affected by the project. Understanding the concerns of the people, the Party cell organized meetings to discuss and propagate to Party members to promote the role of exemplary pioneers; at the same time, directed the village front work committee to mobilize and analyze so that households understand the significance of the project. For households with questions, the Party cell directed the front work committee and village mass organizations to go to their homes to analyze and do ideological work. Thanks to that, the affected households all agreed to donate over 4,200 m2 of land to implement the construction of the new road.

Mr. Luong Van Hoi, a party member and villager, said: Promoting the pioneering role of party members, my family agreed to donate nearly 1,000 square meters of land to open the road. In 2025, the road was officially inaugurated and put into use. The dream of many people here having a road to travel has become a reality.

In addition, in recent years, the village Party cell has also mobilized people to donate land and contribute over 300 working days to build 6 new intra-field roads with a length of over 2 km to serve agricultural production.

In economic development, the village party cell has promoted the safe production of custard apples among the people. On average, each year, villagers use nearly 10 tons of fruit bags to limit pests and diseases. According to statistics, the whole village currently has over 113 hectares of custard apples; the output is about 1,000 tons/year. This is one of the typical villages in the commune that develops the economy from growing custard apples.

Along with that, every year, the Party cell also guides people to cooperate with businesses to grow more than 36 hectares of tobacco... Thereby, contributing to increasing income and reducing poverty in the area. According to the review data, there are currently 6 poor households in the village (accounting for 5.17%); average income per capita reaches 48 million VND/person/year, an increase of 13 million VND compared to 2020.

Mr. Khong Van Manh, Standing Deputy Secretary of the Party Committee of Van Linh Commune, said: In recent years, the Party Cell of Nam Lan 2 village has actively oriented, propagated, and mobilized people to develop the economy from growing custard apples. In particular, the village Party Cell has done a good job of mobilizing people to donate land to open roads, connect traffic, create convenience and promote economic development in the area. From 2021 to now, the collective Party Cell of the village has been assessed to have completed its tasks well and excellently.

Thanks to the orientation and direction of the village party cell and the consensus of the people, the village now has an increasingly improved appearance, the traffic infrastructure and facilities have been completed, and the people's lives have changed significantly. In September 2025, the Nam Lan 2 village party cell received a certificate of merit from the Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee for its outstanding achievements in the emulation movement "Skilled mass mobilization" for the period 2021-2025.
