The land data cleaning campaign needs to be completed quickly.
After the initial phase of implementing the campaign to clean up and enrich the land database, localities in Nghe An have made many efforts and achieved initial results. However, according to the assessment of the Department of Agriculture and Environment, the Standing Agency of the Provincial Steering Committee, progress in some communes and wards is still slow, and there is a risk of not completing the plan as scheduled.
Following Notice No. 890/TB-UBND dated October 22, 2025, from the Provincial People's Committee regarding the conclusions of the Head of the Steering Committee for the campaign, communes and wards throughout the province have quickly established Steering Committees and Working Groups at the commune level. According to the Department of Agriculture and Environment - the Standing Agency of the Provincial Steering Committee, to date, all 130 communes and wards have completed their leadership structures, organized conferences to deploy tasks, and begun implementing the campaign.
Mr. Nguyen Viet Duc, Vice Chairman of the Vinh Loc Ward People's Committee, said that the locality currently has more than 20,000 land plot records that need to be reviewed, cross-checked, and entered into the land database system. Due to the large workload and tight deadlines, the ward has had to mobilize maximum manpower, assigning officials to directly oversee each block and hamlet, and hiring additional personnel to assist in data collection, verification, and entry.
"We worked continuously throughout the evenings and weekends to meet the deadline. Cleaning up land data requires extreme caution, because even a small discrepancy can affect the accuracy of the entire system," Mr. Duc shared.
According to statistics, the province currently has 2,003,884 land user data records built into the land database. Through verification with the national population database, 1,527,629 data records have been verified and standardized, ensuring the criteria of "accurate - complete - clean - valid"; 106,830 data records still contain discrepancies and need to be supplemented and corrected; and 369,425 data records could not be verified and need to be reviewed and rebuilt. Several localities have actively participated and achieved good results, such as Nghia Dan, Tay Hieu, Tam Quang, Vinh Tuong, Van Hien, Quynh Luu, Vinh Phu, Truong Vinh...
The above figures show that Nghe An has made significant progress in the process of digitizing and cleaning up land information – a crucial foundation for effective and transparent management of land use rights, while also serving administrative reform and socio-economic development.
According to Mr. Nguyen Manh Toan, Head of the Surveying, Mapping and Remote Sensing Department of the Department of Agriculture and Environment, although many initial results have been achieved, the progress of cleaning up land data in Nghe An is facing many difficulties. Progress in some communes and wards is still slow, and there is a risk of not completing the plan as scheduled if there is no decisive direction and coordinated mobilization of resources in the coming time.
Specifically, some commune-level units have not paid adequate attention or allocated sufficient personnel to implement the campaign, leading to the risk of not meeting the progress requirements as stipulated in Plan No. 515/KH-BCA-BNN&MT of the Ministry of Public Security and the Ministry of Agriculture and Environment, and Plan No. 762/KH-UBND of the province.
Furthermore, the tight timeframe, coupled with the slow issuance of guidance documents from higher levels, left localities unprepared for implementation. Recently, prolonged heavy rains and flooding in many areas also disrupted data collection and verification.
Another reason is that many communes have recently adopted a two-tiered administrative model, leading to an increased workload of administrative tasks while lacking sufficient human resources and equipment. The implementation of large-scale campaigns such as "cleaning up land data" has also overloaded many areas.
In light of this situation, the Department of Agriculture and Environment has requested the Provincial People's Committee and the Head of the Provincial Steering Committee to continue providing decisive direction to ensure progress is on schedule according to the central and provincial plans.
Accordingly, the People's Committees of communes and wards are required to mobilize the entire political system and allocate sufficient personnel to achieve the campaign's objectives. It is necessary to review and reorganize the working groups, assign specific tasks to each block, hamlet, and village; and accelerate the digitization and data entry into the unified form according to the guidance of the Department of Land Management.
Local authorities must hand over the collected land and housing certificate data to the Branch Office of the Land Registration Office daily for timely verification, processing, and entry into the land information system, striving to complete this before November 15, 2025.
The Department of Agriculture and Environment, acting as the standing agency, will continue to monitor, provide professional guidance, technical support, and compile daily progress reports. Professional issues are encouraged to be reported through the dedicated Zalo group or the contact points of the Land Registration Office for immediate resolution, preventing localized bottlenecks.
The land database cleanup campaign is a breakthrough in the digital transformation of land management. Once completed, the land data system will be a crucial foundation for citizens and businesses to easily access information, ensure transparency, shorten administrative procedure processing times, and contribute to preventing violations and corruption.
