Reception and result return department of Quang Vinh commune

Consensus on new rural construction

At the end of 2024, Quang Tho commune (Quang Dien) happily and excitedly held a ceremony to receive the NTMNC commune standard. This is the third commune in the province (now a city) recognized by the Provincial People's Committee to meet the NTMNC standard in 2023 and is the first commune in Quang Dien district to meet the NTMNC standard.

In 2024, Quang Vinh and Quang Cong are two communes of Quang Dien district that continue to meet 19/19 criteria and the district has completed the necessary procedures to propose competent authorities to consider and decide to recognize the commune as meeting NTMNC standards as soon as possible.

It is expected that these two communes will be recognized by the Hue City People's Committee as meeting the NTMNC standards in 2024 in the first or second quarter of 2025. To achieve this goal, in addition to the efforts of local Party committees, authorities and the political system from the district to the grassroots, the cooperation, contribution and consensus of the people play a very important role.

“In 2018, Quang Vinh commune achieved the NTM standards. Since then, the commune has strived to achieve the NTMNC criteria. During the implementation process, there were 2 criteria that encountered many difficulties, which were transportation and education . These are 2 criteria that require large investment resources, so the implementation process encountered many difficulties. However, with the support and assistance from superiors and the district, the support and sharing of difficulties from the people, the commune has achieved these 2 criteria,” said Ms. Hoang Thi Thanh Hien, a civil servant in charge of the NTM program in Quang Vinh commune.

In fact, the process of implementing the NTMNC criteria shows that localities really need the consensus of the people to have more resources and human resources to implement. Dong Bao village has 152 households, the majority of the people in the village live on agricultural production. The village has mobilized resources to build a model NTM village with a budget of over 29.8 billion VND. By June 2024, Dong Bao village achieved 12/12 model NTM criteria for the period 2021-2025 and was recognized by the People's Committee of Quang Dien district as a model NTM village in 2024.

"The leadership and exemplary role of the Party cell secretaries, village chiefs, village front committee heads, and a large number of cadres and party members in the village party cell have created consensus and unanimity among the people. Thanks to that, the difficult task of building a model new rural area has become easier to carry out. Dong Bao village has contributed significantly to Quang Vinh commune meeting the standards of a new rural area," said Mr. Tran Khoi, Head of the Dong Bao village front committee, Quang Vinh commune.

After a long period of effort, Quang Cong commune has completed 19/19 criteria to submit to competent authorities for consideration and early recognition of the commune as meeting the NTMNC standards. Mr. Nguyen Huu Truyen, Standing Deputy Secretary of the Quang Cong Commune Party Committee, said: "In 2017, the commune was recognized as meeting the NTMNC standards and has now completed the documents to request recognition as a NTMNC commune."

Only in Quang Cong and Quang Vinh can we see all the changes in these localities. The appearance of the new rural areas has been developing, mainly from the village roads, alleys, and construction works; the material and spiritual life of the people has gradually improved.

Mr. Tran Ngai, Head of Village 3, Quang Cong Commune said: “Looking at the new rural face of the commune, of each village, is enough to see how people's lives are. We are proud that the commune has no poor households, and the number of near-poor households has decreased sharply. People's lives are peaceful and joyful. Everyone is happy and excited when their homeland changes.”

Resource mobilization, sustainable development

Despite many difficulties and obstacles, with the highest determination, the Party Committee and the government of Quang Dien district focused on leading, directing, and mobilizing resources to continue investing in concreting rural and intra-field roads; building schools with standard facilities to maintain Quang Tho commune meeting the NTMNC standards and the two communes that have completed 19/19 NTMNC criteria are Quang Cong and Quang Vinh.

Currently, Quang Dien district has been striving to have 3 more communes recognized as meeting NTMNC standards by the end of 2025, namely Quang Phu, Quang Thanh and Quang An; and 4 more villages meeting NTM model standards, namely Ha Cang (Quang Phu), Khuong Pho Dong (Quang Phuoc), Tan Thanh (Quang Cong), and Phuoc Yen (Quang Tho).

Through a survey to collect people's opinions on the new rural construction program in the district, the satisfaction rate of people with the results of the district's new rural construction was very high, accounting for 99.88%. Along with the new rural construction, the material and spiritual life of the people has also been constantly improved.

Deputy Secretary of the District Party Committee, Chairman of the People's Committee of Quang Dien District Le Ngoc Bao affirmed: "Building a new rural area has a starting point, but no ending point". The consistent goal in the process of building a new rural area in the area is to go into depth, effectively and sustainably in the direction of: "Ecological agriculture, modern countryside, civilized farmers", "New countryside - new thinking - new ways of doing things".

Quang Dien continues to closely link industry, services with agriculture; between sustainable rural development and urbanization. Maintain and improve the quality of criteria, increase people's income, ensure sustainability in building new rural areas; gradually build the remaining communes to meet new rural standards, model communes and districts to meet new rural standards.

Up to now, Quang Dien district has 10/10 communes meeting NTM standards. In 2020, Quang Dien was recognized by the Prime Minister as a district meeting NTM standards. Currently, the district is striving to meet NTMNC standards as soon as possible...
