In the period 2011-2015, My Duc was in a particularly difficult area and benefited from Program 135. Therefore, My Duc has received investment in many ethnic policy projects and works; in which, supporting investment in livelihood models has been effective, increasing income for people in border areas, creating a spillover effect in the community, contributing to reducing the poverty rate from over 5% in 2011 to 1.9% (end of 2015).
Life has gradually changed, the people have recognized the attention of the Party, the State, and the local government, actively participated in implementing emulation movements; at the same time, participated in activities to build increasingly innovative villages. Among these activities, Mr. Chau Chai, residing in Group 9, My Lo Quarter, My Duc Ward, is a prominent factor in mobilizing people in border areas to well implement the Party's guidelines, policies, and laws of the State, and pioneered in family economic development movements to set an example for households to follow.
