Ban Na has a good Party Secretary.

(Baonghean) - Always dedicated and devoted to his work, Comrade Vi Thanh Binh - Secretary of the Na village Party Cell, Huu Lap commune (Ky Son), is an exemplary leader in all local movements. Over the years, he has played a good role in mobilizing and supporting people to develop socio-economy and participate in ensuring national defense and security at the grassroots level.

With 36 years of teaching and management in the field of education and training in the mountainous district of Ky Son, after retiring and returning to his hometown of Huu Lap commune (Ky Son), comrade Vi Thanh Binh realized that the economic life of the people in Na village was still poor. One thing that made him think was why the village had the most rice fields in the commune, but there were still many poor families. Worried about that situation, in the Party cell meetings, he proactively discussed with the Party Committee and the government to come up with solutions to promote the economic development movement of the village. Seeing his capacity, responsibility, and prestige with the people, the cadres and party members in the Party cell elected him as Secretary of the Party Cell of Na village (term 2012 - 2015).

Comrade Vinh Thanh Binh was awarded First Prize at the 2014 District-level Excellent Party Cell Secretary Competition.

In his new position, Comrade Vi Thanh Binh has increasingly demonstrated his role as a leader. According to him, if he wants the villagers to understand, believe and follow, first of all, the Party members in the Party cell must be exemplary, improve their spirit and responsibility, and take the lead in all work. As for himself, he reclaimed nearly 1,000 square meters of rice fields, invested in hiring workers to dig 4 fish ponds of over 80 square meters to raise fish and raise over 30 ducks, planted and cared for more than 1 hectare of mangrove forest, and raised nearly 50 breeding chickens. Thanks to that, he has products to sell to the market all year round, bringing income to his family. Secretary Binh's family's annual income is from 100 to 120 million VND or more. Not only that, Secretary Binh also actively guides people to apply advances in science and technology to rice cultivation and hybrid corn production on sloping land. Thanks to that, many households in the village have found a way to produce and raise livestock, increase their income, and gradually escape poverty. The family of Ms. Vi Thi Phuong, a villager, once faced many difficulties. Her husband died early from illness, and now there are only 3 mothers and children in the family. The Party cell has issued a policy to assign Party members to help and guide them in growing wet rice and hybrid corn. Comrade Binh himself directly encouraged and guided them in how to grow wet rice, raise chickens, pigs, etc. Thanks to that, Ms. Phuong's family has stabilized and is no longer facing difficulties like in previous years.

Comrade Vi Thanh Binh shared: “In the process of helping households develop their economy, we must have a very specific plan for each household. Each family chooses its own strengths and increases the application of science and technology in production; such as fertilizers for each season, then developing livestock must instruct people on new, highly effective animal breeds…”. The Na village Party cell (Huu Lap commune) has 42 party members, most of whom are ethnic minorities. The exemplary role of party members has created motivation for people to strive to improve.

In particular, Party cell Secretary Vi Thanh Binh is always active in imparting production and livestock raising experiences to the people; sometimes propagating at Party cell meetings, sometimes climbing stairs, going to each family to guide on how to produce crop varieties, how to prevent diseases for livestock and poultry. In addition, to help the poor people in the Party cell have an effective direction for production development, Secretary Binh has supported capital for the people by providing and supporting high-yield hybrid corn seeds, providing available duck breeds in his family for the people to develop livestock raising. Secretary Binh's actions have contributed to changing the lives of the people in Na village. From a locality where over 65% of households are poor and near-poor, the number of poor households in Na village has decreased by 30% in the past 2 years.

Comrade Lo Dinh Thu, Deputy Secretary of the Party Committee of Huu Lap Commune commented: “Comrade Vi Thanh Binh regularly demonstrates his pioneering and exemplary character in the activities of the Party cell as well as the activities of the village; he is very sensitive in grasping social issues to advise the Party Committee to promptly resolve them. Last September, he won first prize in the Competition for Excellent Party Cell Secretaries at the commune level and then won first prize in the Competition for Excellent Party Cell Secretaries and Village Chiefs organized by the Ky Son District Party Committee.”

Examples like comrade Vi Thanh Binh are studied by the cadres of villages and hamlets in the mountainous district of Ky Son, promoting their role as a bridge of solidarity between the masses and the Party and State, actively contributing to hunger eradication, poverty reduction, and stabilizing national defense and security from the grassroots.
