Over the years, the New Rural Development program in the southeastern communes of the province has significantly transformed the rural landscape. Not only has it fulfilled the criteria, but the program has also created positive changes in the awareness and actions of the people, contributing to building an increasingly civilized homeland.

Besides the "Phu Sung Smart Village," another exemplary rural model in the southeastern part of the province is Minh Hoa village in Ham Thuan Nam commune. This locality was once known as the "village of millionaires" thanks to its dynamic spirit in dragon fruit production. After the administrative unit merger, Minh Hoa was again selected as a pioneer in building a "waste-free village."

Mr. Cao Duy Thanh, Head of Minh Hoa village, said: “ Economic development has helped improve the material living standards of the people. However, along with development, it also creates pressure on the environment. Without appropriate management measures, it can affect the quality of life and the appearance of the rural area. Therefore, building a waste-free village is an essential requirement. One of the factors that helps Minh Hoa successfully implement the model is the spirit of solidarity that has been formed over many years. Movements to build new rural areas, construct roads, or develop cultural life have all received active participation from the people.”

The people of Phu Sung village unanimously agree to participate in rural development movements.

Although the name Minh Hoa will no longer exist, the values ​​that generations of people have painstakingly cultivated will continue to be preserved, building a green, clean, civilized, and sustainable living environment.”
