60 years ago, on the occasion of the Lunar New Year of At Ty 1965, sharing the joy of the achievements of the army and people of Quang Ninh province, in which the Coal industry had exceeded its production plan, contributing human and material resources to the great frontline in the South, President Ho Chi Minh visited and celebrated Tet with the people of Quang Ninh. The advice of President Ho Chi Minh on the occasion of Tet that year, including compliments and advice to the Coal industry, was always remembered by the workers and cadres of the Coal industry, becoming a call to compete "Produce a lot of coal for the Fatherland".
During his lifetime, President Ho Chi Minh always reserved special feelings for the Quang Ninh Mining Region and miners. During the meeting to welcome President Ho Chi Minh in Hon Gai town on the occasion of the Lunar New Year 1965, Uncle Ho praised the great achievements in production and combat of Quang Ninh. He presented the Coal Industry with the "Best Emulation Flag" and advised: "This year, the State's target is 5 million tons of clean coal. Of which, Hon Gai Coal Company is responsible for producing 4 million tons. No matter how difficult it may be, Uncle Ho is confident that you will promote the spirit of each person working as two to continue the victorious spirit of last year, overcome all difficulties and successfully complete all assigned tasks".
During the visit and Tet celebration with the people of Quang Ninh on February 2, 1965, the cadres and people of Uong Bi town and Vang Danh Coal Mine were honored to welcome Uncle Ho. During this visit, Uncle advised: “Currently, Uong Bi Power Plant and Vang Danh Mine are both the largest and most modern enterprises in our country. Coal and electricity are very necessary for industry and agriculture. You guys should try your best to do more, faster, better and cheaper”.
Following Uncle Ho's teachings, over the past 60 years, generations of miners have strived to complete and complete their tasks well, increasingly increasing coal mining output to serve the socio-economic development of the province and the country. For the staff and workers of Vang Danh Coal alone, that year they exploited over 29,600 tons of raw coal and produced over 14,400 tons of clean coal. These are the first achievements of Vang Danh miners who started mining coal again after a period of temporary suspension of production to design and restore the mine. Today's generation of Vang Danh Coal miners always uphold the spirit and tradition of their predecessors, continue to promote, unite, contribute their strength and intelligence to build the Company to develop more and more.
From a young miner from Thai Binh who came to Quang Ninh to start a career, Pham Dinh Duan, a worker at Mining Workshop 14 (Vang Danh Coal Joint Stock Company) has become a shining example of love for the mining profession and dedication to the cause of coal production for the Fatherland. With more than 20 years of working in the profession, miner Pham Dinh Duan has overcome all difficulties, constantly learning, working, creating, always being a pioneer in all activities; worthy of being a shining example for the younger generation to follow. His colleagues commented that he is a worker who dares to think, dares to do, dares to take responsibility to the end, constantly learns and creates, always puts the collective interest above all.
Miner Pham Dinh Duan shared: “Uncle Ho's teachings in the past are a great motivation, urging each cadre and worker to work more enthusiastically and contribute their efforts to build their homeland... I always consider studying and following Uncle Ho's teachings as a guideline for all work. In the harsh working environment in the deep mine, in each production shift, I always put safety first, striving to ensure the unit's assigned output. Besides, my colleagues and I always research and learn, grasp technological skills, to apply to the current new production conditions, thereby improving working conditions, benefiting the unit".
Today, along with the development of the country and the need to ensure energy for the economy, more than 800,000 miners in the Vietnam National Coal - Mineral Industries Group have been striving to compete and excellently implement Uncle Ho's teachings. Each cadre and worker in the coal industry strives to compete to increase output and scale of exploitation, bringing the coal industry to continue to promote its role as one of the three pillars to ensure national energy security, building a rich, civilized and modern Quang Ninh province.
In 2024, the entire Quang Ninh Coal Party Committee had 182 collectives and individuals registered to implement the model of "Learning and following Uncle Ho", 1,020 images of "Miner - Soldier" in the fields of activities of the Party Committee were built and honored by units. Emulation movements created momentum to help the Group complete its production and business goals. In 2024 alone, TKV's raw coal production reached 37.5 million tons; coal consumption was 46.7 million tons; the Group's total profit reached 6.23 trillion VND, an increase of 42.2% compared to the annual plan and an increase of over 12% compared to 2023. In particular, the average salary of TKV employees is the highest since the Group's establishment at 18 million VND/person/month.
In 2025, units and localities in Quang Ninh province will continue to launch the emulation movement "Learning and following Uncle Ho", concretizing it with practical models and activities. Thereby, arousing the spirit of self-reliance, creativity, and development aspirations to build Quang Ninh into a model province, rich, beautiful, civilized, modern, firmly entering a new era - the era of national growth. For the Coal industry in particular, the emulation movement "Learning and following Uncle Ho" is creating a strong spread, becoming the main driving force to promote the production and business activities of the Group.
Comrade Nguyen Manh Tuong, Standing Deputy Secretary of the Quang Ninh Coal Party Committee, said: In 2025, the Party Committees under the Quang Ninh Coal Party Committee will continue to study and follow Ho Chi Minh's ideology, morality and style, associated with building the image of "Miner - Soldier" so that the movement "Learning and following Uncle Ho" will be widely spread, creating motivation to compete, striving to exceed the target of producing more than 38 million tons of coal in 2025, consuming 50 million tons of the entire Group. Along with that, compete to build a cultural life for mine workers, corporate culture, and a unique coal industry culture; ensure labor safety, and increase workers' income.
