• Focus on improving the quality and promoting the function of cultural, sports and community learning centers.
  • Merging provinces - Streamlining the apparatus is inevitable for development
  • The mark of solidarity before the merger day

From the new rural construction movement, the system of cultural and sports institutions has been widely invested from commune to hamlet, contributing to changing the face of the countryside and meeting the needs of enjoyment and preserving the cultural values of the countryside.

Before the merger, Bac Lieu had 48 commune-level cultural and sports centers, Ca Mau had 80 centers. After the administrative merger, many localities are interested in effectively exploiting redundant institutions.

In Vinh Thanh commune (merged from Hung Phu commune), there are 2 centers located in My Hoa and My Tuong 1 hamlets. The locality has converted the center in Vinh Hoa hamlet into the headquarters of the People's Council, the Fatherland Front and the commune's mass organizations, and at the same time brought civil servants and equipment to work at the center in My Tuong 1 hamlet to improve the quality of services to the people. Vinh Thanh Commune Cultural - Sports Center is invested in spaciously to organize meetings and serve the cultural life of the people.

Mr. Le Hoang An, Vice Chairman of Vinh Thanh Commune People's Committee, Ca Mau Province said: "After the new commune government came into operation, the commune reviewed the current status of the facilities and equipment of the cultural institution system to have a direction for effective management and use. After converting the function of the surplus cultural institution area, the locality will allocate more resources to invest in upgrading the facilities, innovating the content and form of operation of the new Center".

At the Cultural - Sports Center of Vinh Thanh commune located in My Tuong 1 hamlet, many cadres, people, and youth union members attended the first meeting after the commune merger. Here, many diverse and practical activities took place such as: organizing propaganda on the purpose, importance and benefits of the policy of organizing a 2-level government apparatus; exchanging and performing amateur music between artisans and people; visiting the gallery of local historical and cultural artifacts.

Mr. Ho Van Bay, My Tuong 1 hamlet expressed: “From the first days of the commune merger, the activities of the cultural institution area have been vibrant and effective. Many people from old to young like to come here to exercise, meet, participate in cultural activities and listen to propaganda about the policies and guidelines of the Party and State. After being propagated by commune officials, people are more in agreement and trust in the decision to reorganize the administrative apparatus”.

Effectively using the surplus headquarters after the merger, avoiding abandonment is not only the strong direction of the Central Government and the leaders of Ca Mau province but also the desire of the people. In particular, exploiting the role of cultural institutions is extremely important to encourage and motivate the entire population to successfully complete new goals in the new period.
