The nucleus ofParty at the grassrootsoffice

Secretary Gia Tong Thu is the son of the Mong people in Buoc Mu 2 village, Na Ngoi border commune, Ky Son district, Nghe An province.

Born in 1971, after 3 years of serving in the border force on the Ky Son border, in 1998, Gia Tong Thu was discharged from the army and returned to his hometown to start a career. Having been challenged and trained in the military environment, for over 20 years, he has actively participated in local social work and made many contributions to economic development and ensuring national defense and security in the area.

Na Ngoi Commune has a 16.52 km border with Laos, a terrain with many streams, steep hills, difficult traffic, always lurking the risk of incidents causing political insecurity, social order and safety. During the 20 years of holding the position of Deputy Head of Na Ngoi Commune Police (from April 2000 to October 2020), he always created a close and intimate relationship with the people, proactively grasped all situations of political security and social order and safety, advised the Party Committee and the commune government to properly resolve incidents occurring in the area, contributing to stabilizing political security, social order and safety, and promoting economic development.

From 2015 to 2022, he was a member of the Party Executive Committee of the commune and Secretary of the Party Cell of Buoc Mu 2 village. Comrade Gia Tong Thu was always exemplary, saying what he did, creating solidarity in the Party Cell and consensus among the people. Therefore, he always performed well the "core" role of the Party Cell in leading and effectively implementing the Party's guidelines and policies, the State's policies and laws, and emulation movements for socio-economic development, ensuring national defense, security, and building the local political system.

The work of training and recruiting new party members has always been of interest to Secretary Gia Tong Thu. From 2015 to 2022, the Party cell has recruited 4 new party members. In 8 years, from 2015 to 2022, the Party cell has been classified by the Party Committee as having excellently completed its tasks for 7 years, including 6 consecutive years of excellently completing its tasks. In the village, there are no people violating the law, and people's lives are increasingly improving.

With his prestige and enthusiasm, he was assigned by the Commune Party Committee to hold the position of Secretary of Ka Duoi Village Party Cell from December 2022.

“At first, when I took up the new assignment, there were many difficulties. It was more than 8km from home. Some positions in the village had limited qualifications and abilities, while Ka Duoi village had long been known as a “hot spot” due to internal conflicts among the people that had not been completely resolved. To solve the above problems, I focused on improving the quality of Party cell activities, ensuring the principle of democratic centralism, promoting the spirit of self-criticism and criticism, and internal solidarity; rectifying the organization’s activities; advising the Party Committee and the commune government to select capable and dedicated people to replace the positions of deputy village chief, concurrently a police officer and the head of the association for the elderly; focusing on propagating and guiding people to eliminate backward customs and practices, build a civilized lifestyle, closely combining socio-economic development with building a strong national defense and security. In particular, unresolved conflicts among the people need to be prioritized and handled first to avoid "Bad guys take advantage of this to distort and incite, causing loss of political security and social order and safety in the area" - Secretary Gia Tong Thu confided.

In the 6 cases of conflicts among the people, there were 4 cases of land disputes, 2 cases of encroachment on traffic safety corridors in the construction of new rural areas, affecting production and livestock, causing disunity among the people. With many years of experience as Secretary of the Party Cell of Buoc Mu 2 village, Secretary Gia Tong Thu, together with the Party members in the cell, directed the Village Management Board and the organizations according to their functions and tasks to stick to the work, "go to every alley, knock on every door", propagate and mobilize the people, find out the root cause of the cases, from there propose timely solutions, suitable to the actual conditions.

With the perseverance and determination of Comrade Gia Tong Thu, up to now, 6/6 cases have been resolved satisfactorily, creating high consensus among the people, thereby the socio-economic situation, political security, and safety and order in the village have clearly changed, the people are internally united and excited, and all aspects of life of the people have improved day by day.

Not only dedicated to his work, comrade Gia Tong Thu is also a veteran member who is good at production and business, boldly converting 6 hectares of low-economic-efficiency upland land to grow 1,500 peach trees, 2 hectares of elephant grass as food for 10 buffaloes and cows; planting 1,500 po mu trees, 300 hawthorn trees, 4,000 medicinal plants such as codonopsis pilosula, dia sam, 7-leaf 1-flower ginseng, 150 orchid pots, raising 100 black chickens, digging 1,500 m²fish pond.

In particular, his family was the first household in the village of Buoc Mu 2 to bring Tuyet Shan tea trees to plant on an area of ​​3.4 hectares in the fields, which has since spread and attracted many households in the commune to participate and has now become a key crop helping people to eliminate hunger, reduce poverty and gradually become rich. Thanks to favorable climatic conditions and the application of science and technology in production, the seedlings grow well, bringing the family an annual income of 80-100 million VND after deducting expenses.

In addition to being a pioneer in economic development, Comrade Gia Tong Thu is also a role model in building a prosperous and happy family, always taking care of the education and educating his children to have a healthy lifestyle.
