List of recognized initiatives in Lao Cai province, phase 2/2023

Looking at the list of initiatives mentioned above, many readers expressed concern, why are all the initiatives in the field of state management? and the authors are leaders of departments, branches, sectors, and local authorities, but there are no initiatives in the fields of production, business, or science and technology.

As a participant in awarding many major awards for creative initiatives, sharing with reporters of Cong Thuong Newspaper, Mr. Hoang Quang Phong - Vice President of Vietnam Federation of Commerce and Industry (VCCI) - assessed that this can only be considered a solution, discussing the implementation of tasks in the area.

According to Clause 1, Article 1 of the Initiative Charter issued together with Decree 13/2012/ND-CP: An initiative is a technical solution, management solution, operational solution, or solution applying technical advances (collectively referred to as a solution), recognized by an establishment if it fully meets the following conditions: It is new within the scope of that establishment; has been applied or tested at that establishment and is capable of bringing practical benefits; is not subject to being not recognized as an initiative; the solution whose announcement or application is contrary to public order or social ethics; the solution is subject to intellectual property rights protection according to the provisions of law up to the time of consideration for recognition of the initiative.

According to experts, innovative experiences are very important to our lives today, especially in the stage of global integration and strong competition, and new, unique and effective innovative experiences are needed to go further.

So, according to the set standards, have the initiatives recognized in Lao Cai province recently met the requirements? In fact, in Official Dispatch No. 3014/UBND-VX of Lao Cai Provincial People's Committee on strengthening management and promoting innovation activities, the Chairman of Lao Cai Provincial People's Committee also self-assessed, through the meeting to consider and recognize the effectiveness of application and scope of influence of initiatives in 2023 and early 2024: Initiatives are mainly concentrated in the education sector, Party Committees under the Provincial Party Committee, state management agencies; while initiatives in the fields of production, business, health, socio-political organizations and initiatives in districts, cities and towns account for a very low proportion.

The number of initiatives submitted to the Council for recognition of the effectiveness of application and scope of influence of the initiative has increased compared to before, but the quality of many initiatives has not met the requirements. In addition, there are still initiatives written according to the trend, with sketchy content, not showing the new, creative, and effective points of the initiative, but still being reviewed and recognized by the grassroots Council, so the rate of initiatives meeting the requirements is still low...

In order to strengthen the management and promote innovation activities in the province in the coming time effectively and practically, the Chairman of Lao Cai Provincial People's Committee directed: When proposing to recognize the effectiveness of application and scope of influence of the initiative in the province, it is necessary to ensure that it meets the requirements according to regulations, which are: It must be new and have been effectively applied in the scope of influence outside the grassroots. The initiative must be seriously considered, selected and approved, and carefully evaluated at the grassroots Council before confirming and submitting it to the Council for consideration and recognition of the effectiveness of application and scope of influence of the initiative in the province...

It is worth mentioning that this is not the first time that a series of initiatives recognized in Lao Cai province do not focus on the fields of production, business or science and technology. Previously, many initiatives in this locality were in a similar situation, making readers wonder and think.
