Bridge of science and technology transfer

On the Con Sung field of hamlet 5, Nam Thanh commune, 2 hectares of green pumpkins laden with fruit of young party member Le Luu Thang spread out in a cool green color. He is one of the few 9X Cooperative Directors to receive a Certificate of Merit from the Vietnam Cooperative Alliance in 2022 for his outstanding achievements in economic development, becoming a shining example in the union movement.young people overcome difficulties to get richin the current period.

Sharing about his entrepreneurial journey, Le Luu Thang said that he gave up a stable job in the capital Hanoi, in 2018 he returned to his hometown to start a business right on the land where he was born and raised. With more than 1 year of experience working in Israel and 2 years working in the field of plant care in Hanoi, Mr. Thang started his business by planting a garden. To realize this idea, he did not hesitate to rent out uncultivated land or land that was not planted in the crop season to build green pumpkin fields. With the calculation that doing agriculture would not be able to recover capital quickly, he chose the solution of growing short-term vegetables combined with livestock to take advantage of agricultural waste to build a closed model.

In August 2020, he established the Da Han Green Agricultural Products Production and Processing Cooperative. The cooperative has successfully built a system of composting organic microbial fertilizers and planted nearly 2 hectares of squash in Nam Thanh commune, annually exporting more than 60 tons of fertilizers and 70 tons of clean and safe vegetables, tubers and fruits to the market, serving consumers in Nghe An and Hanoi markets. He has also implemented processes, factories for production and composting organic microbial fertilizers according to the formula and standards of the Center for Science Application - Department of Science and Technology of Nghe An province.

With available raw materials from local farms and the application of indigenous microorganisms in the production process, by the end of 2021, microbial organic fertilizers began to reach the market, bringing in a total revenue of hundreds of millions of VND each year. In early 2024, he continued to coordinate with other young party members to build an organic pumpkin growing model on an area of ​​7 hectares in Yen Thanh district.

From his success, Le Luu Thang has become an important bridge in transferring science and technology to many young people and local people. His production model in Nam Thanh commune not only creates jobs for 3 regular workers, but also helps them access new advances in agriculture. At the same time, the model in Vien Thanh commune, Yen Thanh district has also created jobs for 14 local workers, with a stable income of over 6 million VND per month. In addition, workers are also instructed in clean agricultural techniques, thereby helping to improve production efficiency and protect the environment.

A typical example is Ms. Dinh Thi Ly (born in 1979) in Nam Thanh commune, Nam Dan district. Not only participating in working at Le Luu Thang's model, Ms. Ly also received enthusiastic guidance from him in cultivating the family's nearly 2 sao of squash and green vegetables.

Not only stopping at creating jobs, Le Luu Thang also cooperates with households to supply seeds, fertilizers and become a bridge for product output. Thanks to that, people are not only assured about product quality but also do not have to worry about consumption. His efforts have contributed to changing many ineffective farming areas into "golden land" in the production value chain, thereby contributing to spreading the spirit of innovation and creativity in production. With his contributions to the development of the locality, Le Luu Thang is honored to be one of the typical rural youth representatives of Nghe An province awarded by the Central Committee of the Ho Chi Minh Communist Youth Union.Luong Dinh Cua Award 2022with many certificates of merit at all levels.

Support for the disadvantaged

In recent days, everyone in Nam Kim commune (Nam Dan) has been happy for Ms. Nguyen Thi Nga (born in 1982) when she received more than 200 million VND from benefactors for her treatment. The person who called for and mobilized this amount of money to support her is a young party member born in 1993, Ha Thi Hang - Secretary of the Youth Union of Nam Kim commune.

In the house of gratitude built with support from women's associations at all levels and benefactors in 2011, Ms. Nguyen Thi Nga said that she lost her father at the age of 2. Later, when she got married, when she was 3 months pregnant with her first son, her husband suddenly passed away in an accident. After her husband died, she did not remarry and stayed single to raise her child. Many years passed, she worked in the fields and carried bricks for hire to support her nearly 80-year-old mother and son. The hardship gradually disappeared when her son, who is now in 11th grade, is a good boy and knows how to help his mother with many things. Then, in early 2024, after a long illness, she went to the doctor and was informed that she had leukemia. Radiation therapy required a huge amount of money, while the family had no valuable assets. At that time, she fell into despair.

Knowing her situation, Secretary of the Nam Kim Commune Youth Union - Ha Thi Hang directly mobilized and called for philanthropists. With her reputation and transparency in the charity process, after a short time of posting the appeal, 830 people supported with a total amount of more than 202 million VND. This amount was immediately given to Ms. Nga's family so that she could go to Hanoi for treatment.

Previously, Ha Thi Hang also called for more than 86 million VND to support Ms. Pham Thi Thin (born in 1976) - a woman in a rather difficult situation when her husband died early, she raised 3 children alone, and her first son passed away after an accident in early 2024. Her two remaining sons both suffered from leukemia. That situation exhausted her both physically and mentally. Seeing her difficult situation while her house was in a state of disrepair, Ms. Hang immediately stood up to mobilize and call on benefactors to promptly support her family.

These are just two of dozens of situations that Ha Thi Hang has called for support in recent years. It is known that Ha Thi Hang has a separate account for charity work, and that account is always at 0 VND. Therefore, when benefactors donate, the bank will easily record the entire amount of donations so that she can make it public and transparent for everyone to look up. If the first time she called for support for the poor in the area in 2017, she only raised 3 million VND, now the amount of money each time she calls for support has increased over time.

Ha Thi Hang confided: “I was admitted to the Party in 2014 when I was a student at Vinh University. At that time, the teacher who led me to the Party was an extremely valuable teacher. He wholeheartedly supported me and other students with difficult circumstances in the school. It was his kindness that moved me deeply. I promised myself that I would try to do many useful things to help people. After graduating and working in the locality, in 2017 I was appointed as Secretary of the Commune Youth Union and that was an opportunity for me to organize volunteer activities, mobilize and connect resources to help people in difficult circumstances. Seeing people in difficult circumstances receive timely support, my heart was extremely warm.”

In addition to volunteer work, during her working time, Ha Thi Hang was awarded a Certificate of Merit by the Party Committee for implementing Directive 05 on studying and following Ho Chi Minh's ideology, morality and style in the period of 2016-2018; Nam Dan District People's Committee awarded her the title of Emulation Fighter at the grassroots level in 2018, 2020, 2023 along with many certificates of merit from the Provincial Youth Union and District Youth Union. Hang's efforts have inspired many young party members in Uncle Ho's hometown, thereby contributing to the comprehensive development of her homeland.

“

To be worthy of being Ho Chi Minh generation youth, Nghe An youth in general and Nam Dan district in particular have constantly strived to pioneer in patriotic emulation movements, especially volunteer activities towards the community, joining hands to build new countryside...

Young party members have maintained the spirit of "Where there is a need, there is youth, where there is difficulty, there is youth" to contribute their strength and intelligence to contribute to building the homeland to become more and more prosperous as Uncle Ho advised in the past.
