Provincial Party Committee Organizing Committee joins hands to help poor communes in Western Nghe An

This is an area where the Thai ethnic group accounts for 98%; the poverty rate is still high, infrastructure and transportation are inconvenient; many households do not have housing or their housing is too dilapidated and makeshift; medical facilities and cultural institutions are still lacking.

As a unit assigned by the Provincial People's Committee to join hands to help poor Chau Nga commune, from the beginning, the leaders of the Provincial Party Committee's Organizing Committee determined that the first thing to focus on was to direct the Quy Chau District Party Committee's Organizing Committee to select and arrange suitable key cadres in the commune.

In fact, in the past, Chau Nga commune's local staff did not meet the requirements of leadership, management and operation capacity, so it was necessary to mobilize and rotate district-level cadres with enthusiasm, intelligence and prestige to strengthen key positions in the commune. At the same time, it was assigned to the locality to care for and nurture local cadres to create a source of successors. The encouraging thing is that from 2020 up to now, Quy Chau District Party Committee has stopped arranging district cadres to strengthen Chau Nga commune because the commune's key leadership positions have met the objective conditions. Thanks to that, it has created a new driving force for Chau Nga commune to firmly and successfully implement the goal of building and developing a commune with a stable and good economic growth rate.

In addition to orienting and directing personnel work, in recent years, the Nghe An Provincial Party Committee's Organizing Committee has had many practical forms and actions such as coordinating the construction of infrastructure; supporting plants, breeds, scientific and technical advances to develop production and livestock models for economic development; joining hands to repair dilapidated houses; providing material support to poor households with special difficulties every year; orienting the grassroots to create conditions for people to access basic social services, improving the intellectual level of the people... contributing to changing the face of poor Chau Nga commune.

Up to now, the commune's poverty rate has decreased from 53.97% in 2017 to 34.15% in 2022; average income per capita has increased from 13.4 million VND/person/year (2017) to 30.6 million VND/person/year (2022); budget revenue in the area has increased; education quality has been improved, the number of excellent students in the province has increased significantly compared to before; the commune has completed 13/19 criteria for building a commune that meets new rural standards, 1 in 3 villages has completed 13/13 criteria for reaching the new rural finish line.

In 2022, continuing to accompany and join hands to help Chau Nga commune, on January 5, on the occasion of the traditional New Year, the Provincial Party Committee's Organizing Committee organized a meeting and gift-giving program in Chau Nga commune (Quy Chau). Here, the delegation of the Provincial Party Committee's Organizing Committee presented 33 gifts to 33 poor households. In particular, they took care of and supported 1 student of Chau Nga Primary School under the "Godmother" program with an amount of 10 million VND; supported the purchase of breeding pigs for 2 families with a total amount of 20 million VND. This amount was mobilized by the Provincial Party Committee's Organizing Committee's Trade Union, with leaders, cadres and civil servants of the Provincial Party Committee's Organizing Committee deducting from their personal salaries to support.

Comrade Ho Dang Tai - Deputy Head of the Board, Chairman of the Trade Union of the Provincial Party Committee's Organization Board praised the efforts of the commune leaders and people of Chau Nga commune. He also kindly sent his regards and New Year wishes to the people. In the coming time, the Board will continue to accompany, join hands to help and support the locality, especially in sustainable and long-term work, contributing to helping people escape poverty; he hopes that the people will continue to maintain the spirit of solidarity, strive to rise up to join the commune, district and twinned units to build a strong homeland.

With profound humanitarian meaning, the program to help poor Chau Nga commune of Nghe An Provincial Party Committee has contributed to sharing difficulties with poor people, poor communes in the mountainous region of Western Nghe An in general. As Tet is approaching, the gifts with much sharing are a timely source of encouragement for the people of Chau Nga commune to welcome the Year of the Cat more warmly and happily.
