Narrowing the development gap in ethnic minority areas.

The flourishing of ethnic minority areas in Lam Dong is not only reflected in infrastructure and efficient production models, but also in the spirit of solidarity and the aspiration for progress of the people.

The appearance of rural areas in many remote communes is gradually improving.

The villages are undergoing a transformation.

Located in the heart of Don Duong commune's agricultural area, Bookabang village was once one of the most disadvantaged areas. With 150 households and over 930 inhabitants, mostly ethnic minorities, the villagers' lives previously depended primarily on small-scale agricultural production. As a poor village under Program 135, with difficult transportation, limited education levels, and limited access to scientific and technological advancements in agriculture, its economy developed slowly.

Mr. Ha Xuyen, Head of the Village Front Committee, said that thanks to the Party's attention, the State's investment, the involvement of the political system, and the unity of the people, the appearance of Bookabang village is changing every day. People are gradually shifting to growing commercial vegetables, developing livestock farming, and improving their herds of cattle and poultry, contributing to increased income. A stable economy also motivates people to actively participate in building new rural areas and model residential areas; thousands of people have participated in environmental sanitation and contributed to the construction of internal village roads.

Ethnic minority communities have experienced many changes in economic development.

Further south, in the heart of Cat Tien National Park, the S'tieng community in Hamlet 3, Cat Tien 2 Commune, is also witnessing daily changes. Along the small concrete road winding through the village, cocoa, coffee, and durian orchards are thriving. Few would imagine that this place once consisted of only a few dozen houses nestled in the dense forest, where life was still full of hardships.

New flower map of the land of a thousand flowersAfter years of connecting with domestic and international agricultural businesses, a group of young farmers in Lac Duong commune, Lam Dong province, have successfully imported and tested dozens of ornamental flower and foliage varieties, transferring and propagating them in high-altitude ecological zones at 1,500 meters above sea level, contributing to building a new, diverse and colorful flower map in the land of a thousand flowers.

Thanks to support in providing seedlings, fertilizers, technology transfer, and participation in forest management and protection contracts, many households have gained stable livelihoods. People have boldly switched to suitable crops, improving production efficiency and their living standards. Many families have built spacious houses, creating favorable conditions for their children to receive a full education. Along with economic development, traditional cultural values ​​are still preserved, contributing to the unique identity of the community.

Many cultural values ​​of ethnic minority groups are also preserved.

Narrowing the development gap

Currently, 100 out of 124 communes, wards, and special zones in the province are located in ethnic minority and mountainous areas, encompassing over 2,300 villages, hamlets, and residential groups. This area has a large geographical scope, uneven population distribution, and has historically faced numerous challenges in terms of development. However, through the comprehensive implementation of ethnic minority programs and policies, the appearance of these areas has undergone many positive changes.

To date, 100% of communes in ethnic minority and mountainous areas have access to the national power grid and radio and television coverage; all communes have cultural centers, and villages have community centers. The school system and medical facilities are being gradually upgraded. Along with infrastructure investment, policies supporting production, poverty reduction, vocational training, preferential credit, and forest protection contracts have helped people confidently switch to different crops and livestock, apply science and technology to production, increase income, and improve their living standards.

These efforts have yielded tangible results in poverty reduction among ethnic minority communities. The multidimensional poverty rate decreased from nearly 27% at the end of 2021 to 8.75% at the end of 2025. Throughout the province, 16 out of 19 communes in Zone III and 138 out of 236 villages have been removed from the list of particularly difficult areas, contributing to narrowing the development gap between ethnic minority regions and other areas.

Fine arts and photography are closely linked to social life.In the cultural landscape of Thai Nguyen, the "land of the finest tea," fine arts and photography, beyond their artistic significance, serve as a bridge connecting the past to the present; from tradition to innovation; and firmly linking the Party's ideology with the people's aspirations. Therefore, fine arts and photography are always close to and intimately connected with the cultural and spiritual life of all segments of the population.

Behind those figures lies the transformation in every home, every residential area, and every ethnic community. However, the journey to narrow the development gap in ethnic minority areas still has much work to be done. Nevertheless, the changes currently evident in the villages will be a solid foundation for ethnic minorities to continue to develop their internal strengths, preserve their cultural identity, and together build increasingly prosperous rural areas.
