Keeping the 'fire' alive in Party cell and Youth Union activities in Nhan Thanh

Solutions to improve quality of life

Following the introduction of the Organizing Committee of Yen Thanh District Party Committee, that "in the whole district, only Nhan Thanh commune can do that", we made an appointment to meet with the Party Secretary of the commune, Phan Van Thanh, to learn more about Resolution No. 14/NQ-DU dated October 12, 2015 of the Nhan Thanh commune Party Committee on improving the quality of party activities and party cells in the period 2015 - 2020.

This is a thematic resolution issued after the commune party congress, stemming from the reality that in Party activities, there are still discussions and contributions that are not enthusiastic, Party members are still afraid to speak up, some Party cells do not meet regularly, do not meet according to regulations, the meeting content is poor, preparation is not careful, the leadership role of Party committees, Party cells, and Party members is reduced...

10 solutions were proposed in the resolution and directed to be thoroughly studied and implemented synchronously. Among them, one of the key "keys" is to strengthen the leadership of the Party Committee on the work of Party committees and Party cells.

Specifically, 15 party committee members are assigned to be in charge of party cells, periodically participating in activities with their party cells every 2 months; 5 comrades in the Party Committee Standing Committee are assigned to be in charge of clusters, periodically participating in activities with their party cells every 3 months, grasping the thoughts and suggestions of party members and guiding the party cells on the activities' contents, proposing resolutions appropriate to the actual situation.

Every quarter, members of the Standing Committee attend cross-activities with Party cells in other clusters they are not in charge of, to grasp the situation of Party cell activities and Party members' participation in activities, grasp the thoughts, aspirations and suggestions of Party members to present to the Standing Committee for consideration and resolution.

Also at a quarterly frequency, Party committee members participate in activities with branches and associations to grasp the situation of activities and listen to the thoughts and aspirations of union members and association members, through the Party committee to answer and explain to union members and association members.

With this approach, each youth union and association branch feels more clearly the attention and respect of cadres and party members for them, and is more aware of taking care of the content and organization of the activities. Not only that, this is also a channel for cadres and party members to be closer to the people and the grassroots.

Comrade Duong Thi Huyen - the youngest member of the Party Executive Committee of Nhan Thanh Commune, now confidently and skillfully engaged in regular activities with the grassroots, shared: Every time the Party Committee members come to participate in activities together, the Youth Unions and Associations are very excited, the quality of activities has clearly changed, evenly in the residential areas. Many places even proposed that the Party Executive Committee members of the Commune increase the frequency of attending meetings together.

"Although it is a bit more difficult, those positive feedbacks encourage us to maintain our determination and do well in accompanying the facility."

Timely resolution of arising problems

According to comrade Nguyen Thi Kim Anh - Deputy Head of the Organizing Committee of Yen Thanh District Party Committee, Resolution No. 14/NQ-DU of Nhan Thanh Commune Party Committee was elaborated in detail, specifically, with clear assignment and division of tasks, with truly breakthrough initiatives and innovations, and at the same time, serious leadership and direction of implementation, brought into life, and brought about remarkable changes in the locality.

In addition to the positive differences in the working order of Party cells, Youth Unions, and Associations, the way of doing things in Nhan Thanh commune also proves that this is an effective "channel" to receive opinions and recommendations from the grassroots, promptly grasp and handle arising problems, thereby contributing to preventing the appearance of "hot spots".

According to Secretary of Nhan Thanh Commune Party Committee Phan Van Thanh, after each cross-activity session, the Standing Committee of the Commune Party Committee will hold a meeting to listen to reports on the situation and activities of the Party cell, suggestions from Party members and assign cadres to respond.

"After each meeting with the branches and youth unions, the Commune Party Committee will also summarize opinions and issue a concluding notice to assign departments to receive and promptly, fully and specifically resolve the members' recommendations."

For example, in 2016, through a reflection at a meeting of the Van Tay Farmers' Association, the Party Secretary of the commune promptly discovered a land dispute and assigned the Commune People's Committee to handle it immediately, avoiding complicated problems.

More recently, from activities in some Party cells, Party members proposed that the distribution of pesticides from the commune was not distributed evenly among the hamlets. The Party Committee of the commune immediately established an inspection team and discovered that many hamlets had not distributed all of them to the people. In particular, Hong Linh hamlet received 48 bottles of pesticides from the commune but did not distribute them to the people.

In this case, the commune has collected the medicine, redistributed it to the people, and asked the hamlet chief to review it. Or in the conclusion announcement after the Commune Party Executive Committee attended the meeting of the veterans' associations on March 29, 2019, the proposal to check the quality of domestic water is not guaranteed, limit overloaded vehicles on the commune road of Tho Vinh Association, solve the Dong Cua drainage ditch to drain water of Phu Dien Association, gambling and theft are complicated developments of Vinh Tien Association, ... were directly assigned to the Commune People's Committee to receive and respond.

Saying goodbye to us, the Party Secretary of Nhan Thanh commune said that although Resolution 14 has been implemented for several years, the Party members and the grassroots still “don’t get bored”. We thought to ourselves, if Nhan Thanh can keep the “fire” like that, how can it be “boring”!
