Vinh Phuc builds digital government, digital economy, digital society

Changes in the "digital village"

Known as the "digital village" in Vinh Tuong district, since promoting the application of information technology, the daily life of people in Yen Trinh village, Vu Di commune has had many positive changes. Since being guided by the Community Technology Team to make online payments, transactions are processed anytime, anywhere via smartphones. People also have access to many other utilities such as scanning QR codes, using VneID, VssID accounts... to handle administrative procedures. Currently, Yen Trinh village has 2 public activity points installed with high-speed Internet and integrated free wifi to serve people's information lookup needs. In addition, security cameras have been installed on all main roads of the village and at the village Cultural House. The percentage of adults in the village using smartphones in payment transactions is more than 80%.

In Vu Di village, Vu Di commune, integrating digital transformation into the new rural construction program has contributed to changing production methods, liberating labor, reducing costs and improving productivity and product quality. The entire Vu Di village currently has over 580 households with nearly 1,700 people, of which 70% of the people are engaged in agricultural production, aiming for high-tech agriculture. The way Vu Di people approach technology and apply it to daily life is also natural and familiar, similar to the way the Village Development Board propagates to each house. Thanks to that, the "People know, people discuss, people do, people check and people enjoy" becomes clear and substantial right from the villages and hamlets.

Village head Nguyen Thi Tinh said that the village's community digital technology team has updated Zalo and Facebook pages to connect villagers, which are also communication channels between the village's Executive Board and the villagers. "Currently, the Steering Committee for Building a Smart Village Model in Vu Di village is guiding individual production and business households to register to participate in e-commerce trading floors to connect, promote and introduce products. 100% of villagers have electronic medical records; over 96% of adults use smartphones with many integrated applications; over 80% of adults have online payment accounts to pay for essential services. The village has completed the installation of security camera systems on main roads to manage social order and safety and a lighting system using digital technology to turn on and off automatically," Ms. Tinh happily said.

It can be seen that actively promoting digital transformation to each village and hamlet has created "digital villages" connecting the community, helping people master technology, narrowing the digital gap between rural and urban areas, contributing to bringing the New Rural Development Program into more depth and substance. Up to now, the whole Vinh Phuc province has 34 villages meeting the smart village standards; 1,240 Community Technology Teams and Project 06, with 9,880 members.
