Mr. Nguyen Dinh Hung - Head of the Department of Culture and Information of Nghi Loc district said: "Determining the construction of a cultural life associated with the appearance of a new cultural and civilized rural area is a central and continuous task. In the process of building a cultural village, the district always follows the motto: The criteria of easy to do first, difficult to do later; what belongs to the people, the family and clan undertake; what is the collective responsibility, the entire political system is mobilized to participate. The most obvious manifestation is the newly built works, many roads are expanded, cultural houses are built spaciously, the lighting system along both sides of the roads adds to the increasingly prosperous rural picture".
With creative methods, the movement to build cultural villages in the district has received the support of a large number of people; the mobilization of social contributions of money, labor days to renovate and upgrade cultural items and institutions has been carried out quite effectively. It is known that up to now, the whole district has 84 - 86% of villages and residential groups recognized as "Cultural Village, Cultural Residential Group" (reaching 89%); completed the construction of 59/118 new village cultural houses (reaching 50% of the plan); 250/250 hamlets and residential groups have cultural and sports institutions meeting the standards of the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism (reaching 100%), of which, 110 cultural houses have a scale of 70% of seats (according to Resolution 28)...; every year, 88 - 90% of families are recognized as "Cultural Family"...
The security and order situation in villages and hamlets is maintained and stable; the landscape is green, clean and beautiful; cultural, artistic, physical education and sports activities are strongly developed; the implementation of civilized lifestyles in weddings and funerals is gradually becoming routine. The economic life of people in cultural villages and cultural residential groups is always stable and gradually developing; the average income per capita is higher year after year (in 2021 it will reach 45 million VND/person/year, by 2023 it will be 50 million VND/person/year); the poverty rate in cultural villages and cultural residential groups is generally lower than the average of the district; in which, many units no longer have poor households...
Along with that, the movement to build the model of "Typical cultural village, typical cultural residential group" has always been interested and directed by the district. Every year, each commune selects at least 1 hamlet, residential group to build the model of "Typical cultural village, typical cultural residential group". In 2022, the District People's Committee recognized the model for 11 hamlets in 9 communes; in 2023, 17 hamlets in 17 communes registered for model recognition. The hamlets recognized as typical cultural village models at the district level are truly outstanding, with bright spots, typical in criteria such as environmental landscape, cultural and sports institutions, etc.
In order to continue effectively implementing the Project "Improving the efficiency and quality of building cultural villages and cultural residential groups in Nghi Loc district in the period of 2021-2025", in the coming time, the district will continue to improve the effectiveness of information and propaganda work on the mass media system and social networks, focusing on promoting traditional cultural values associated with the work of preserving and promoting the values of cultural heritages; speeding up the progress of building new cultural houses after merging hamlets and residential groups; for cultural houses facing difficulties and problems with land and planning, the People's Committees of communes are required to proactively work with relevant district-level departments and branches to advise the District People's Committee on timely solutions.
At the same time, regularly pay attention to building, repairing, renovating, and upgrading cultural and sports facilities in hamlets and residential groups; continue to direct and urge hamlets to register to build typical cultural village models to complete the prescribed targets to be recognized in 2023 and the following years; combine the construction of typical cultural village models with the construction of smart village models; strive for 100% of communes to build at least 1 typical cultural village at the district level by 2025.
