“60 days of new rural construction” in Trung Son

Party cell secretary of hamlet 5 Nguyen Huu Sau shared: In the economic conditions of the locality as well as the lives of the majority of people are still difficult, the policy of "60 peak days of building new rural areas" of the Party Committee of the commune really arouses the internal strength of "using the people's strength to take care of people's lives".

Up to this point, after more than 40 peak days of building the new rural area, the cadres and people of Hamlet 5 have directly contributed money and labor to renovate the Cultural House, associated with building a flower garden in the cultural house; leveling the ground, building a mini soccer field; building a model road with drainage ditches.

In addition, the people also directly cleared trees and grass, collected garbage, and expanded the corridor of 3 rural traffic routes, ensuring ventilation and cleanliness. The Party cell also directed 5 households to renovate mixed gardens, build model gardens to grow fruit trees and vegetables. According to the Party cell secretary of Hamlet 5, during the remaining time of the 60-day peak period, the hamlet will continue to build additional sanitation facilities in the cultural house campus, build a village gate, and renovate the remaining roads.

In hamlet 7, implementing the "60-day" policy, the unit focused on completing the criteria for new-style rural residential areas and mobilizing people to build new-style rural families. Accordingly, the hamlet executive committee, Youth Union branches, Association branches and heads of inter-family groups directly went to each household to propagate, mobilize and guide people to arrange household items and amenities neatly and clean livestock barns; guide people to build model fruit and vegetable gardens, both creating beauty and bringing income to the family.

In addition, according to Party Secretary Nguyen Phung Khoi, from the mobilization of children far from home and the internal resources of the people in their hometown, the hamlet has also completed the facilities and equipment inside the cultural house. At the same time, the people were mobilized to renovate 14 rural traffic routes; the people were mobilized to clean up village roads and alleys every Sunday...

The policy of "60 peak days of building new rural areas" in Trung Son has created consensus and response from the majority of people not only because the policy is correct but also because the cadres and party members also join the people.

Comrade Vuong Thi Quy - Secretary of the Commune Party Committee, said: In addition to directly "rolling up their sleeves" to participate in the renovation of the headquarters campus, from clearing grass to building flower beds, planting trees and ornamental flowers, and making the headquarters yard; all cadres, civil servants, and workers of Trung Son commune are divided into working groups and take every Saturday as the New Rural Day to go to the hamlets, to each family to propagate, mobilize, advise, and guide each household on how to renovate, build model gardens, arrange household items, guide environmental treatment in livestock farming, wastewater, and even participate in labor with the people to clear and renovate village roads, alleys, cultural houses, etc. On the part of the Fatherland Front, the commune's unions all registered a part of the work or a project and sponsored 2 hamlets in building the New Rural Area...

In parallel with the above activities, according to the Party Secretary of the commune, Trung Son is also focusing on promoting production, increasing income for people, ensuring sustainable new rural construction, such as converting some areas of alluvial land to grow green squash; vegetables on double-rice land; developing a model of free-range chicken farming; converting mixed gardens into gardens with economic value...

Up to this point, after more than 40 days of implementing the peak period of building new rural areas, the locality has mobilized people to contribute more than 1 billion VND; donated over 2,000 m²land; demolishing hundreds of meters of fences and cutting down hundreds of trees of all kinds to widen the rural traffic road. Currently, 6/6 hamlets have completed the renovation and purchased full facilities for cultural houses; nearly 10 km of rural traffic roads have been renovated and a drainage system has been built; hundreds of households have renovated their home gardens, of which 40 households have built model gardens, including fruit trees and commercial vegetables...

With the direction, creative approach and results of the past days, the rural appearance in Trung Son has changed. And more importantly, it has eliminated the inferiority complex that the local economic conditions are difficult and eliminated the mentality of being afraid of difficulties, waiting, and relying on others from cadres, party members and people in the movement to build a new rural area. This will be the motivation for Trung Son commune to confidently strive to reach the new rural area goal by the end of 2018, a goal that was missed once at the end of 2016./.
