However, in addition to the achieved results, compared with the set of criteria for new rural districts in the period of 2021-2025 stipulated in Decision No. 320/QD-TTg dated March 8, 2022 of the Prime Minister, the district has only met 3/9 criteria, corresponding to 26/36 targets, including criterion No. 3 on irrigation and natural disaster prevention and control, criterion No. 4 on electricity, criterion No. 6 on economy. Thus, Nghia Dan district still has 6 criteria, corresponding to 10 targets that have not been met.

Continue to complete the criteria

At the meeting with leaders of Nghia Dan district, Vice Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee Nguyen Van De acknowledged the spirit, high determination and results that Nghia Dan district has achieved in implementing the task of promoting growth in the agricultural sector and rural development in 2024 as well as implementing the new rural construction program.

Based on the analysis of the unmet criteria in new rural construction, in order to build Nghia Dan district to meet new rural standards in 2024 according to the plan registered with the province, the Vice Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee requested the district to continue promoting the achieved results, overcome shortcomings and limitations, and speed up the progress of building a new rural district.

Accordingly, the district needs to strengthen propaganda and mobilization work for the people, especially to disseminate the plan to be determined to complete the task of building a new rural district in 2024 so that people know and join hands to strive to implement it. At the same time, attach the Campaign "All people unite to build new rural areas", the emulation movement "Join hands to build new rural areas" with the motto "People know, people discuss, people do, people check and people benefit".

At the same time, the district needs to closely follow the tasks and solutions issued in Decision No. 152/QD-UBND dated January 18, 2024 of the Provincial People's Committee and the assigned targets; review the district's growth plan and scenario in 2024 to organize drastic implementation to ensure the achievement and exceeding of the set plan targets.

According to the Vice Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee, in the coming time, Nghia Dan district will focus on directing production development, continuing to develop specialty products, prioritizing local strengths associated with brand building, creating favorable conditions for product consumption and export, promoting the implementation of the "One Commune One Product" (OCOP) Program to increase people's income in a sustainable manner. Along with that, it is necessary to strengthen the protection of the rural environment.

The district also needs to make the most of support resources, effectively integrate capital sources of programs and projects in the area; diversify socialized capital sources, mobilize investment capital from enterprises, call for joint efforts from enterprises, the community and maximize the internal strength of the locality. In particular, it is noted that the mobilization of resources from the people must be discussed and agreed upon, implemented in accordance with democratic regulations, and absolutely must not mobilize beyond the capacity of the people.

To complete the targets of the new rural district criteria set, Nghia Dan needs to urgently review and clearly identify the contents and criteria at the district level that have not been met (6 criteria corresponding to 10 targets) to mobilize resources for implementation while continuing to consolidate, perfect and improve the quality of the missing and weak criteria.
