 Further realizing the moral principle “When drinking water, remember its source”

Before the liberation day, Binh Duong was a revolutionary base with many famous combats of Nha Do, Bong Trang…Hence, the number of social policy beneficiary families herein is high.

When peace was restored, Binh Duong’s Party, government and people have always paid more attention to social policy beneficiary families via many substantial activities. In recent years, Binh Duong’s economy has constantly developed, so the local authorities have continued well upholding the moral principle of “When drinking water, remember its source”

Possibly speaking, the movement of “Paying the Debt of Gratitude” has been promoted in depth and width, contributing to improving and stabilizing the lives of social policy beneficiary families.
