Success on hi-unity

Thanh An pre-school is just put into operation.

Initial successes of the national goal program on new rural building in Dau Tieng district showed that once setting out right policies, hi-unity from local people will bring high efficiency.

Bright character of new rural area

Thanh An in Dau Tieng district is one of the first communes of Binh Duong, reaching 19 out of 19 criteria of new rural building. As an agricultural commune without advantages of economic development, culture, education, Thanh An shows a great breakthrough of winning criteria of new rural building in Binh Duong.

Right after implementing new rural building, Thanh An just won 13 out of 19 criteria while provincial and district budget for the commune was very modest, so infrastructure building of traffic network, education and culture faced many difficulties. To complete the set plans, the commune rapidly takes advantage of local people’s strength to spur new rural building.

Nowadays, Thanh An becomes one of the most beautiful and cleanest rural communes in the province. Thanks to hi-unity from local residents, criteria of traffic road, house, residential area, environmental hygiene and more reached early. Aside from investment capital from budget, voluntary spirit of local people is high. Till 2014, average income of local people in the commune reached about VND32.8mil.

Aside from Thanh An commune, till the end of 2014, Dau Tieng district has 3 more communes completing new rural criteria. They include Long Tan, Dinh Hiep and Dinh Thanh. The remaining communes finalized 13-17 criteria and have strived to complete these remaining criteria in this year.

Tran Chi Thanh, secretary of Dau Tieng district party committee said that the locality continues to spur new rural building and strive to be recognized a new rural commune by the end of this year. In addition, the district will make efforts to maintain the reached criteria.

Promoting strength of people

In 2014, agricultural production value of Dau Tieng district reached VND844.9bil, a 7.53% increase from 2013. Dau Tieng launched Plan No.388/KH-UBND on re-structuring agricultural sector on added value improvement and sustainable development.

Besides, the locality won trade and service value of VND778.9bil in the past year and finalized building of 3 markets such as An Lap, Minh Tan and Long Tan to spur trade and service development.

One of the key tasks of Dau Tieng district in 2015 is to accelerate implementation of the national goal program of new rural building. Accordingly, the local administration spurs progress of implementing new rural building in more 6 communes and mobilizes local residents’ strength to perfect socio-economic structure of infrastructure, improve life of rural residents.

However, Tran Chi Thanh added that implementing new rural building in this district faces some difficulties. At present, 6 communes have completed goals of new rural building but they have yet to reach important criteria of school, material facilities, culture-sport, market, traffic road and more. Therefore, the district needs the provincial administration’s support to develop local economy stronger in this year. Especially, the district hopes to finalize expansion of DT748 and DT744 to attract more investment for the locality.

Tran Van Nam, chairman of the provincial People’s Committee said that Dau Tieng excels the national goal program of new rural building. This shows positive change of local residents’ life. However, in the coming time the local leaders and people should make greater efforts to strengthen local development, turning Dau Tieng into a new rural district. In addition, the local authority should note that new rural building must base on people’s interest.
