Final episode: Typical "nuclei" of the village

With enthusiasm, dynamism and responsibility, the young people, together with the village elders and prestigious people of the village today have become the "nucleus" of solidarity, the "bridge" between the Party's will and the people's hearts to build an increasingly peaceful and developed life.

Set an example with determination to start a business

Wishing to help people change their thinking in production, young man Y Thuyl Nie in Ayun hamlet, Cu Pong commune (Krong Buk district) has made efforts to start a business from a coffee seedling nursery. With his enthusiasm, he has received the trust of the villagers, helping them gradually change their awareness and approach modern agricultural techniques.

In 2010, after graduating from the Tay Nguyen Ethnic Youth Vocational College (now Tay Nguyen College of Technology), Y Thuyl returned home to help his family with farming. Seeing that the old coffee garden was not economically efficient, Y Thuyl wanted to replant the garden but his family did not agree. He applied for a part-time job at a tree nursery in Buon Ma Thuot City.

Y Thuyl Nie's family's coffee garden is growing well and generating a good income.

Realizing the great demand for quality seedlings as well as the desire to access coffee care techniques of the people, Y Thuyl decided to return to the village to start a business with a coffee seedling nursery model combined with technical advice on cultivation. He also convinced his family to change crops, intercropping fruit trees in the coffee garden, bringing in an income of nearly 500 million VND/year. To further improve his agricultural knowledge, Y Thuyl actively participated in training courses on agricultural techniques organized by the Youth Union at all levels and self-studied from groups and information pages on social networks.

Y Thuyl shared: “To have a lush green nursery like today is a process of effort, convincing family members to change their thinking and farming methods. The land of the homeland is fertile, the policies of the Party and State always pay attention to ethnic minorities, as long as we are determined and hard-working, we will become rich legitimately on the land of our ancestors”.

After only 2 years, Y Thuyl's nursery has become a trusted address for people to buy seedlings and learn and exchange scientific and technical advances in agricultural production. Y Thuyl's determination to start a business is a vivid reality in the work of mobilizing people to change their thinking, ways of doing things, and develop the economy to improve their lives and legitimately get rich on their homeland.

Contribute to preserving water and forests

As a prestigious person, over the years, Elder Y Wih Eban, Secretary of the Party Cell of Kmrong Prong B village, Ea Tu commune (Buon Ma Thuot city) has always propagated and mobilized people and descendants in the village to preserve the culture, customs and practices of their ancestors; especially the forest and the upstream water wharf of the village.

Unity is the strength, the most solid "position" in the cause of building and defending the Fatherland. Mass mobilization work is the core of mass mobilization in building the great national unity bloc. In order for the great unity bloc to be solid, local authorities, agencies and organizations need to be close to the people, listen to and share, grasp the thoughts and aspirations of the people, and clearly understand the characteristics of each region. At the same time, promote the role of Party cell secretaries, village chiefs, prestigious people, especially the young generation of the village to spread and improve the effectiveness of the skillful mass mobilization movement.

Former Provincial Party Secretary Y Luyen Nie Kdam

Coming to Kmrong Prong B village, no matter what time of year, you can feel the fresh, peaceful air, especially when looking at the tall ancient trees spreading their shade, stretching high into the sky; the cool water from the upstream wharf has quietly flowed for hundreds of years, irrigating the rice fields, lush green gardens... Every January and February, dozens of bee colonies come to make nests in the forest trees. Natural honey is a precious gift that is always cherished by the people and further protects the forests and wharf.

Gia Y Wih confided that, according to his grandparents, a hundred years ago, when the village was first established, there were only 8 households in the village, but everyone knew how to preserve the forest and the water wharf with ancient customary laws. Accordingly, anyone who destroyed the forest had to pay a penalty such as offering buffaloes and cows to apologize to Yang and the village... because this was the headwater forest, the common source of the village, so everyone listened to it and relied on the forest to live and develop.

Now, the village uses village conventions and agreements that anyone who cuts or destroys forest trees will be brought to the hall and reminded in front of the village, so everyone is aware of protecting the upstream forest. Anyone who cuts down trees will be discovered by the villagers and reported to the village elders and authorities at all levels for handling.

Relying on the forest and water resources, the people are confident in developing agriculture, growing coffee, durian, etc. Since then, over the years, the economic life of the people in the village has grown more and more. The whole village has 335 households with 1,270 people, currently there are only 8 poor and near-poor households. The forest of the village is now more than 5 sao with hundreds of forest trees, including dozens of precious ancient trees, the circumference of which requires 20 or 30 people to hug. Elder Y Wih remembers all the names of the ancient trees in the forest such as: Na Tong, Na Plang, Na Klet, Na Trul, etc. He always reminds the people and their descendants to preserve the water wharf and the forest because the water source is the spirit of life, the forest will protect the village.

After many ups and downs, today, the forest and the ferry are still the most valuable assets of the people of Kmrong Prong B village. To preserve the green spaces of the forest, there is the cooperation of the entire political system and, more importantly, prestigious people, village elders through many generations who have diligently propagated and instructed their descendants in the village, including elder Y Wih Eban.
