Sharing about the process of building advanced NTM criteria, Chairman of Vinh Thuy Commune People's Committee Nguyen Quang Chien said: "Vinh Thuy Commune has started to build advanced NTM with 15/19 criteria. Identifying the remaining criteria as a big challenge, the commune has completed the steering committee, based on the actual conditions of the locality to build a plan and deploy it to each village and hamlet.
In particular, it is necessary to promote the role and responsibility of leaders of Party committees and authorities, the pioneering and exemplary role of cadres and Party members in building advanced new rural areas.
The commune has stepped up propaganda and mobilization through collective activities, the radio system... so that people are aware of their responsibilities and roles as subjects in implementing the construction of advanced new rural areas.
Regularly organize meetings to listen to people's thoughts and aspirations; promptly remove difficulties to join hands in implementing the plan. Since then, good practices, models, and emulation movements to build new rural areas have spread throughout the entire commune.
Realizing that economic development is the “key” to improving the NTM criteria, Vinh Thuy commune has promoted the transfer of science and technology applications in agricultural and forestry production, built and expanded production linkage models associated with processing and consumption; reviewed agricultural and forestry production planning for concentrated commodity production; supported and attracted enterprises and cooperatives to invest in agriculture and rural areas; restructured the agricultural sector associated with NTM construction and supported the development of production according to the value chain, especially clean and safe agricultural production; mobilized, integrated, and used economically and effectively resources to build essential infrastructure, especially infrastructure directly serving people in production and daily life.
Currently, 6/6 cooperatives in the area are operating effectively, of which 3/6 cooperatives have contracts linked to stable value chains, 4/6 cooperatives meet the standards of new cooperatives. The commune has built 2 OCOP products that have achieved 3-star provincial certification and is completing documents to submit to the authorities for consideration and appraisal of medicinal cajeput essential oil products of Bac Hien Luong Medicinal Essential Oil Joint Stock Company.
In particular, from 2019 to 2022, the commune received and mobilized resources of over 60 billion VND; mobilized people to donate land and contribute working days to build bright, green, clean, and beautiful traffic routes, ensuring 100% solidification. The current irrigation system of the commune basically meets the requirements of production and people's lives with a total length of over 52 km that has been solidified, ensuring smooth traffic, serving the travel and transportation of agricultural products of the people.
The commune has invested in building a high-voltage power line in the commune center with a length of nearly 1 km worth more than 1 billion VND; received a solar-powered lighting line supported by the Central Committee of the Ho Chi Minh Communist Youth Union worth over 200 million VND. 100% of households have access to clean water. In addition, cultural, artistic, physical education and sports activities in the community are increasingly diverse.
School facilities and education quality are increasingly improved. Disease prevention and control and people's health care are well implemented.
Thanks to that, up to now, the average income per capita in the commune has reached 59 million VND/person/year; the poverty rate has decreased from 2.2% at the end of 2021 to 0.82% at the end of 2023, the material and spiritual life of the people has increasingly improved, and people's satisfaction with the construction of advanced new rural areas has reached over 99%.
To improve the quality of the criteria for advanced NTM communes, in the coming time, Vinh Thuy commune has proposed specific solutions to mobilize the participation of the entire political system in building NTM; regularly inspect and urge the implementation of NTM and advanced NTM criteria and targets towards building a model NTM; do a good job of propagating the Party's guidelines, policies and laws of the State, and the results achieved by the locality to create a strong change in awareness that building NTM is a continuous, regular process, with a starting point but no end point, contributing to improving the material and spiritual life of rural people.
Thereby, creating consensus and determination of the whole society and promoting the combined strength of the entire political system in organizing and implementing the emulation movement to build a model new rural area in the period of 2021-2025; striving to build a commune to reach the model new rural area goal in 2024.
