Choosing Bach Dang as a pilot locality to build up a smart village is a new breakthrough. In the future, when Bach Dang succeeds, this model will be replicated, covering all countryside of the province. Many rural communes in the province have completed the new-style rural program, reaching to advancement and model. This is a very favorable condition for the smart village model to develop.
