Bright spot in Do Luong mountain village

(Baonghean) - From always being at the bottom of the commune, after completing the apparatus, Party Cell 12 under Lam Son Commune Party Committee (Do Luong) has gradually grown stronger. The Party Cell and the Secretary were both awarded Certificates of Merit by the Provincial Party Executive Committee for their outstanding performance for 5 consecutive years.

The role of the leader

Lam Son is a difficult mountainous commune of Do Luong district. Out of 14 hamlets, 11 hamlets are located in mountainous areas. We arrived at the right time when people in hamlet 12 were actively preparing for the winter crop. On the fields that had been consolidated, from 7-8 plots/household, now they have been consolidated to 1-2 plots/household, people were actively plowing, harrowing, and weeding to prepare for the new crop.

Small but agile, comrade Vo Van Huyen - Party Cell Secretary and Hamlet Chief of Hamlet 12 happily introduced to us the achievements of many years that he, the Party Cell and the people of Hamlet 12 have strived to achieve.

Before 2010, the village had no place for activities and entertainment because the cultural house was dilapidated, rickety, and leaky; the roads were narrow and muddy; the fields were fragmented… But now everything has changed. The cultural house has been rebuilt to be spacious and airy, and the village roads have been widened, concreted, or paved with stone.

"The Party cell of hamlet 12 and the people of this mountain hamlet have achieved these results thanks to the exemplary leadership role and enthusiasm of the Party cell secretary," said comrade Dang Xuan Thanh - Secretary of Lam Son Commune Party Committee.

Before 2010, the Party cell was ranked at the bottom of the commune in terms of leadership, direction of movement activities as well as party member development.

From that reality, Lam Son Commune Party Committee has directed to reorganize the Party Committee of Cell 12, in which it is necessary to find a capable and dedicated person to take on the role of Party Committee leader to arouse the movement and mobilize people to actively participate.

And comrade Vo Van Huyen was elected as Party cell secretary and hamlet chief from 2010 until now. Through nearly 3 terms as Party cell secretary and hamlet chief, comrade Vo Van Huyen has proven his ability in managing, directing and promoting local movements and activities, effectively mobilizing people to participate in building new rural areas.

For many years, Hamlet 12 has been firmly at the top of the commune in cultural and artistic movements and new rural construction. People are in agreement, united, hard-working, and comply with the Party's policies and the State's laws.

Besides, the party cell has not been able to admit new party members for many years. Now the party cell has completed the documents and is preparing to admit one new party member.

Choose the job, choose the right way to do it

Sharing the “secret” to mobilizing people to join hands to contribute to building new rural areas, actively supporting and participating in collective movements and activities, comrade Vo Van Huyen said: “We always agree that we should not take on too many things at once, but must determine which things need to be done first and choose the appropriate way to do them.

All implementations are discussed and agreed upon within the Party cell before being deployed to organizations and people. In particular, comrades at Party committees and authorities must always remember and practice the saying and doing, Party members are the pioneers.

Each plan is announced and assigned to mass organizations to propagate and deploy to each citizen from the contribution stage to financial disclosure summary; timely commendation and reminders in necessary cases.

With that motto, the Party Cell of Hamlet 12 has chosen 3 key contents to implement in each term, which are renovating, expanding and concreting traffic roads; consolidating land plots and building cultural houses. In particular, Hamlet 12 will prioritize 2 tasks first: expanding and solidifying roads and consolidating land plots to help people stabilize production.

In each task that is implemented, the Party Committee and the government meet to discuss and divide it into many stages to ensure that it is completed thoroughly and firmly. For example, the upgrading of the inner-village road, the main funding is called for contributions from the people.

However, in a mountainous commune where people's lives are still difficult, it is impossible to mobilize people to contribute millions of dong at once, so the hamlet committee has based on the progress to have people contribute in many installments. After the first road was gradually completed, people were very excited because of the convenience in traveling, no longer the muddy scene like before, so everyone enthusiastically asked to contribute, donate land and trees to build the road.

The entire hamlet 11 has about 5 km of internal village roads, and up to now, the road expansion and concrete work has been completed for 1 km, and the stone foundation has been poured for 1.5 km; it is expected that the remaining 2 km of concrete will be completed in 2018. All costs and construction stages are publicly announced and assigned to the people themselves to be in charge and inspected, so the hamlet executive committee has received the consensus and support of 100% of households.

As for the construction of the hamlet cultural house, it is expected that each household will contribute 1.5 million VND. When the policy was proposed and the contribution schedule was divided into many stages, it was highly agreed upon by the people. Therefore, in just a short time, the people of hamlet 12 had a spacious place to live, meet, and play, contributing to the development of the hamlet's cultural and sports movement.

In recognition of the contributions of cadres and people of Hamlet 12, Lam Son Commune in Party and government building, the Provincial Party Executive Committee awarded a Certificate of Merit to Mr. Vo Van Huyen for meeting the criteria of a typical Party member who has excellently completed his tasks for 5 consecutive years (2011 - 2015); and awarded a Certificate of Merit to recognize Party Cell 12 for being exemplary in cleanness and strength for 5 consecutive years (2011 - 2015).
