Contribute to the development of the village

Thanh Hoa currently has more than 1,280 Prestigious People, who are typical examples trusted and respected by the people. They are the "bridges" that directly bring the State's policies and laws to the people. In particular, with their prestige, Prestigious People have been actively participating in the work of propagating and disseminating legaleducation at the grassroots level; at the same time, actively mobilizing the masses to practice a civilized lifestyle, obey the law and preserve the traditional cultural beauty of the nation.

Mr. Lau Minh Po, a prestigious person in Pu Nhi commune, gave a speech on propaganda work in Muong Lat.

As a prestigious person who is always concerned about the development of his homeland, Mr. Lau Minh Po, a prestigious person in Pu Nhi commune, Muong Lat district, is very passionate about propaganda work, mobilizing Mong people to comply with the law and preserve cultural identity. With a deep understanding of Mong people in the locality, Mr. Po shares and worries about the difficulties when people lack legal knowledge and are easily influenced by bad elements.

According to Mr. Po, the limited awareness of the law is a worrying issue among a segment of the Mong people, especially the young. This lack of understanding makes them vulnerable to being drawn into illegal activities, enticed by false ideas, or even influenced by cult organizations, causing disruption to social order and security. People with prestige must regularly monitor closely the ideological situation among the people, especially trends such as the ideology of the “Mong state”, cults, or the issue of illegal migration.

Mr. Lau Minh Po also expressed concern about the risk of losing the intangible cultural features of the Mong people. Although the government has paid attention to preserving and promoting ethnic culture, typical features such as love songs of young people, singing at funerals and weddings, or folk instruments such as Mong flutes, mouth harp, and traditional embroidery are gradually being forgotten. The younger generation is less interested or no longer knows about these cultural values, leading to the risk of losing the unique beauty of the Mong people.

Mr. Po recommended that Party committees, authorities, political and social organizations need to strengthen leadership and direction in propaganda and mobilization of people to raise legal awareness and trust in the policies of the Party and State.

He also proposed innovating the form of propaganda on mass media, especially using bilingualism to ensure information is more accessible to people, suitable to their level of awareness.

“Proper propaganda not only helps people understand the law but also preserve cultural identity and develop in accordance with the direction of the Party and State,” Mr. Po emphasized.

In order for prestigious people to do a good job of propaganda and mobilization at the grassroots level, Thanh Hoa province has regularly organized conferences to disseminate the law to prestigious people in mountainous districts. The conferences have become an important bridge, helping village and hamlet cadres and prestigious people improve their knowledge of the law and propaganda skills.

Mr. Trieu Phuc Quy, Dao ethnic group, village elder, prestigious person of Ngoc Son residential group, Phong Son town (Cam Thuy) said: In the training sessions, the reporter conveyed many practical, easy-to-understand topics, directly related to daily life and work. Contents such as the Law on Cyber ​​Security, the Law on Prevention and Control of Domestic Violence and the Party and State's policies and guidelines on ethnic affairs that are being applied in localities are topics that receive special attention.

The most obvious change in Dao villages today is thanks to the contribution of a team of prestigious people in propaganda work, mobilizing people to participate in patriotic emulation movements, and poverty reduction.

Through the training sessions, the team of Prestigious People are not only equipped with legal knowledge but also supplemented with essential skills to advocate and propagate more effectively in the community. These training sessions create conditions for Prestigious People such as Mr. Quy, Mr. Po and many others to consolidate their knowledge and skills, thereby helping them to be more confident when explaining and mobilizing people to comply with legal policies, prevent violations, as well as better understand the socio-economic development programs and projects being implemented in the area.

“After training conferences, I regularly convey and share legal knowledge and policies of the Party and State to people in village meetings. I encourage people to comply with the Party's policies and guidelines, the State's policies and laws and local regulations, actively participate in patriotic emulation movements, hunger eradication and poverty reduction, security and order protection, cultural identity preservation and ethnic solidarity in the area,” said Mr. Trieu Phuc Quy.

Keep peace in the village

In Thuong Xuan district, Mr. Cam Ba Tien, a Thai ethnic in Bu Don hamlet, Van Xuan commune, is known as a prestigious person, a typical example of responsibility to the community. He is always active in propaganda work, mobilizing people to comply with the Party's policies and the State's laws. Over the years, he has made great contributions to disseminating legal regulations on economic development, poverty reduction, and new rural construction (XDNTM) to the people in the village.

Through village meetings and daily conversations, Mr. Tien patiently explains and encourages people to participate in economic development movements such as farming and animal husbandry, helping to improve their lives and escape poverty.

The team of prestigious people actively mobilized people to donate land to build rural roads.

In addition, Mr. Tien also plays an important role in resolving disputes and reconciling conflicts in the village. From small conflicts to larger issues, he always tries to find a satisfactory solution, create consensus and maintain a harmonious and cohesive atmosphere in the community.

It can be affirmed that the Prestigious People in Thanh Hoa are a special force, playing a core role in the work of propagating and disseminating the law and contributing significantly to sustainable development in ethnic minority areas. Their dedication and enthusiasm have created positive changes, from raising legal awareness to preserving traditional cultural values, taking the lead in emulation movements at the grassroots level. Thanh Hoa has been implementing many support policies so that the Prestigious People team can fully develop their abilities, contributing more to the development of mountainous ethnic minority areas.
