On the morning of December 1, the Department of Science and Technology coordinated with the Provincial Office of the National Target Program on New Rural Construction to organize a workshop to announce the results of the 2023 sociological survey task: "Survey of public opinion on new rural construction in extremely disadvantaged communes in ethnic minority and mountainous areas of Nghe An province at present".
In 2023, the Department of Science and Technology will coordinate with the Office of the National Target Program on New Rural Construction to carry out the task of surveying public opinion on new rural construction in extremely disadvantaged communes in ethnic minority and mountainous areas of Nghe An province.
The specialized agency selected representative communes from a total of 76 communes in region III and 55 communes in region I in 7 districts, including: 5 mountainous districts: Con Cuong, Tuong Duong, Ky Son, Quy Chau, Que Phong and 2 mountainous districts: Thanh Chuong and Quy Hop.
The survey was conducted in 26 communes in 7 districts, including: 17 communes that have not met the NTM standards and 9 communes that have met the NTM standards, with the assessment of 1,050 people and 455 officials. The direct survey was conducted from June to October 2023. The assessment of contents related to the NTM construction work in the locality was calculated at the time of the survey in 2023.
The content of the investigation and research includes an overview of the results of new rural construction in ethnic minority and mountainous areas with special difficulties in Nghe An province and public opinion on new rural construction in communes with special difficulties in ethnic minority and mountainous areas of Nghe An province at present.
The survey showed that 98.5% of people in 26 surveyed communes had heard and known about the new rural development program, but their level of awareness and understanding of the content conveyed was not complete. 100% of commune and village officials knew about the policy and content of the new rural development program, of which 86.6% understood clearly and 13.4% understood partially.
Among them, a number of officials and people do not want to reach the new rural finish line because they are afraid of having their rights, benefits, and policies cut off.
Most of the staff and people agreed with the proposal to continue to maintain the State's support mechanisms and policies for especially disadvantaged communes in ethnic minority and mountainous areas after reaching the new rural standard. The maintenance period is from 3 to 5 years after these communes are recognized as meeting the new rural standards.
Through this, the extremely disadvantaged communes in ethnic minority areas request the Central Government to continue to extend the special mechanism for 27 border communes of Nghe An province according to Decision 61/QD-TTg dated January 12, 2018 of the Prime Minister.
It is recommended that the province review, adjust and amend a number of criteria in the Set of Criteria for New Rural Communes for the period 2021 - 2025 applied to mountainous communes in Region III to be lower than those in areas with developed economic conditions.
The province established an appraisal team to re-evaluate the results of building new rural communes in communes that have met the standards, which were originally communes in region III. If the criteria are met, they will continue to guide the implementation of advanced criteria; if not, the title will be removed so that the results are true to reality.
Continue to direct the implementation according to the roadmap of "easy first, difficult later", the criteria do not need to invest much capital to do first and whichever criteria are built, then that criterion is certain, do not owe the criteria to complete. In the immediate future, focus resources on building villages and hamlets to meet new rural standards.
At the workshop, representatives of localities and departments and branches gave their opinions and suggestions on the issue of local surveys that need to be more deeply assessed, especially among grassroots civil servants on awareness in building new rural areas; implementing livelihood models for people effectively...
Mr. Nguyen Quy Linh - Director of the Department of Science and Technology received the opinions of representatives of localities, departments and branches. On that basis, the specialized sector will add more content to edit in the next surveys to be more comprehensive.
Nghe An has 309/411 communes recognized as meeting new rural standards. The whole province still has more than 100 communes that have not met new rural standards, mainly concentrated in 11 mountainous districts and ethnic minority areas. The plan is that by 2025, at least 340 communes will meet new rural standards, equivalent to 82.7% of the total number of communes in the province.
