Mr. Son built 121 models of 'Party's will, people's heart'

(Baonghean) - One of the key tasks in implementing the emulation movement "Skillful Mass Mobilization" in Anh Son district is to direct local agencies and units to register to build and implement "Skillful Mass Mobilization" models in converting crop structure.

This is considered one of the important solutions to achieve the goal of improving economic efficiency per unit area, contributing to restructuring the agricultural sector and improving people's lives.

Model of the Party Committee

Village 9, Hung Son Commune (Anh Son) has 118 households with 410 people, over 85% of whom are Catholics. The whole village has 35 hectares of industrial tea trees and 37 hectares of land and alluvial land. Implementing the Resolution of the Commune Party Committee on converting the crop structure on the alluvial land, the Party cell and the Executive Committee of Village 9 organized many conferences to discuss and agree on the plan, then held an expanded Party cell meeting to deploy the plan and assigned responsibilities to cadres and Party members to set an example and members of the mass mobilization team to actively propagate and mobilize to create high consensus and solidarity among the people so that the policy can be put into practice.

Based on the plan assigned to implement the commune's project, village 9 boldly registered to convert 100% of the area (12.3 hectares) of corn and bean land that has long been grown on alluvial land to sugarcane. Secretary of the Party cell of village 9, Hung Son commune, Chu Van Thanh, shared: "First of all, the party members in the cell took the lead in converting their family's area. Thanks to good propaganda and mobilization work, up to now, 100% of the households in the village with alluvial land have converted to sugarcane growing, which is developing very effectively."

In Tao Son commune, implementing the Party Committee's policy, the Commune Farmers' Association carried out "Skillful Mass Mobilization" on converting crop structure on hilly land with the result that 20 households participated in converting 10 hectares of orange and grapefruit trees.

A typical example is the family of Mr. Nguyen Van Mien in village 6, who previously had 2 hectares of hilly land planted with acacia trees that were ineffective, so the family was not interested and even let the plants grow wild. When the government and organizations mobilized, he boldly invested 200 million VND to implement a model of growing oranges and grapefruits.

“Converting to the orange and grapefruit growing model requires a large investment capital, and in conditions where people still face many difficulties, people are hesitant and apprehensive. Therefore, we have to go to households to analyze the land advantages and the effectiveness of fruit growing models” - Deputy Secretary of the Party Committee, Head of the Mass Mobilization Bloc of Tao Son Commune, Tran Hai Thanh, shared the way of doing the conversion.

The agencies in Anh Son district have also made remarkable changes in implementing the emulation movement "Skilled Mass Mobilization". Typically, in 2017, the Party Cell of the Plant Protection Station of Anh Son district registered the "Skilled Mass Mobilization" model to be widely implemented in the improved rice intensification system (SRI) in village 6, Vinh Son commune. To implement the model, officers of the Plant Protection Station of the district went directly to the village to "hold hands and show people how to do things" from land preparation, planting seedlings to harvesting in the fields.

Through this, people have grasped new techniques in rice cultivation, fertilization process, and pest control. Importantly, implementing this model has helped farmers reduce input costs for production, improve production efficiency, and especially change backward customs and practices of rice cultivation for people.

Do it for real, not for show.

One of the key tasks in implementing the emulation movement “Clever Mass Mobilization” in Anh Son district is to direct local agencies and units to register to build and effectively implement “Clever Mass Mobilization” models in converting crop structure. Because this is considered one of the important solutions to achieve the goal of improving economic efficiency per unit area.

Accordingly, the Anh Son District Party Committee's Mass Mobilization Committee has advised the Standing Committee of the District Party Committee to assign each leader and cadre in charge to directly go to the grassroots to guide the grassroots Party Committees and Party cells in selecting and building models suitable to the characteristics of each locality and sector; at the same time, well implementing the inspection, urging and evaluation of the performance of the models.

“To avoid formal registration, the assigned teams and officers are responsible for assessing the models when they are registered and implemented to report to the Steering Committee of the emulation movement “Skillful People’s Mobilization” of the district. The district also coordinates with seed supply companies and units that support training on science and technology in cultivation to implement economic restructuring models” - Head of the People’s Mobilization Committee of Anh Son District Party Committee, Tran Hai Au, said.

On that basis, through the emulation movement "Clever Mass Mobilization", many effective economic development models have emerged. Typically, Cam Son commune has mobilized people to convert land, grow squash and watermelon for an income of 150 - 180 million VND/ha; the model of converting from rice to color growing on 2-rice land in the communes of Lang Son, Duc Son, Vinh Son, Thach Son, Thi Tran, Tao Son, for an income of 120 million VND/ha...

“The greatest benefit of the emulation models of “Skillful Mass Mobilization” in converting crop structure is that it has aroused the spirit of solidarity, creativity, and innovation in labor, production, converting crop structure towards commodity, focusing and initially helping to improve the economy of households. The team of cadres is enthusiastic, dedicated, highly responsible, always close to the people, listening to the opinions of the people; at the same time, exemplary, leading in implementing crop structure conversion so that people trust, learn and follow” - Standing Deputy Secretary of the District Party Committee, Head of the Steering Committee of the emulation movement of “Skillful Mass Mobilization” of Anh Son district, Nguyen Van Son said.
