To have a civilized and modern countryside, it is necessary to mobilize the mind, heart and strength of each person and each household.
(Baonghean.vn) - That was the opinion of former Politburo member and former National Assembly Chairman Nguyen Sinh Hung at the Conference to deploy Project 17 on "Building Nam Dan district, Nghe An province to become a model new rural district in the direction of cultural development associated with tourism, period 2018 - 2025", on the morning of February 24.

Building new rural areas has no other goal than to improve people's material and spiritual life, taking people as the target.
Improving the material and spiritual life of the people cannot be done at once, not just in 5 years, 10 years but building a new rural area is a huge and long-term revolution of the whole Party and the whole people because after the model new rural area, there will be a higher step, associated with modern civilized urban areas. That requires us to persevere step by step, develop step by step.
We are happy that Nam Dan's development map is increasingly beautified, becoming a cultural and tourist destination for domestic and international visitors.
I think that the core of building a model new rural area is to have rural areas linked to urban areas. So, to build a new rural area linked to urban civilization, the people must be the main subject. The people are the ones who directly participate in production, road building, house building, gardening, environmental sanitation and maintaining the cultural character of Nam Dan people.

Therefore, it is necessary to promote the role of the people, the role of the subject in building the new rural areas. Among the people, it is necessary to pay special attention to businessmen and enterprises, both contributing emotionally and building the material facilities. It is necessary to mobilize the "mind - spirit - strength" factors of each person, each household and of enterprises so that we can have a civilized and modern countryside" - said comrade Nguyen Sinh Hung.
"The Government has issued a Decision approving the pilot project to build Nam Dan district into a model new-style rural district. But having a resolution is not enough, it is necessary to put the resolution into practice. To be sufficient, it is necessary to have the spirit of the resolution of the province, district, commune and dynamism and creativity in directing, operating, mobilizing all resources and the entire political system, and successfully applying the Resolution to life" - the former Chairman of the National Assembly emphasized.
