Hoang Mai: Effective model of each Party committee helping a grassroots Party cell

(Baonghean) - After more than 3 years of establishment, the reality of life and the rapid development trend of the town are posing many problems that need to be solved, while the activities of many block and hamlet Party cells are slow to innovate, not up to the requirements and tasks. Therefore, improving the quality of Party cell activities is an important and urgent task, which is focused on by the Hoang Mai Town Party Committee...

Stick to the grassroots party cell

To concretize Directive No. 10 of the Secretariat and Instruction No. 09 of the Central Organizing Committee on improving the quality of grassroots party cell activities, the Standing Committee of Hoang Mai City Party Committee issued Project No. 04 on continuing to improve the leadership capacity and fighting strength of party cells under the party committees of communes and wards.

After 2 years of implementation, the quality and order of Party cell activities have had many positive changes, helping Party members improve their political awareness and take the lead in performing political tasks in localities.

Thematic activities at Thinh My block Party cell, Quynh Thien ward (Hoang Mai town).

One of the solutions of the Project is to implement the regulation that Party Committee officials of wards and communes; Party Committee officials of the Town Party Committee who are heads and deputy heads of departments and offices of the Town Party Committee and the Town People's Committee periodically participate in activities at Party cells of local Party Committees in the town. In addition, each Party Committee of the Town Party Committee also accepts registration to direct and build a model of Party cell activities at the grassroots level.

Through this, cadres have the opportunity to propagate the policies of the Party and the State as well as those of the locality to cadres, party members and the entire population; listen to the recommendations, aspirations and wishes of party members and the masses. From there, promptly promote strengths and overcome limitations and shortcomings.

Thanks to that, the opinions of party members submitted to superiors on issues such as handling overloaded vehicles that damage rural roads; land violations, illegal construction, environmental pollution; illegal sand mining on Hoang Mai River; prevention of social evils... were all fully received and promptly reported to the authorities for solutions.

Quynh Thien Ward Party Committee is one of the units that Hoang Mai City Party Committee has assessed as having done well in improving the quality of Party cell activities. Discussing this issue, Comrade Nguyen Ba Su - Secretary of the Ward Party Committee said: Before each Party cell activity, the Party Committee organizes a meeting of Party cell secretaries to assess the implementation of the resolution and disseminate the tasks to be deployed in the coming month. In which, the situation in the country, in the province and in the area is briefly summarized to disseminate to the Party cell secretaries.

Thanks to that, the process of activities at the Party cells ensures unity in implementing political tasks at the local level, associated with solving practical problems of each block, creating quality and efficiency in Party cell activities.

Talking about the innovation of the content and form of Party cell activities, comrade Nguyen Dinh Hoang - Secretary of Quang Trung Block Party Cell, Quynh Di Ward, said: One of the outstanding activities of the Party cell in leading the implementation of political tasks is the work of site clearance. Determining that this is a difficult task, the Party cell Executive Committee has carefully studied the related contents, from which to organize specialized activities.

Thanks to the good ideological work, the Party members set an example first, so most of the other households in the block agreed to follow suit. Some households still had questions, the Party cell assigned specific tasks to Party members, the Front's working group directly went to propagate, mobilize, or advise the Party Committee to properly resolve benefits according to the law.

Therefore, in 2015 - 2016, there were 6 projects implemented involving 226/226 households in the block that had to have their land recovered, but all households agreed and supported receiving support money for site clearance, so that the projects could be implemented on schedule.

Multifaceted effectiveness

To monitor the activities as well as the assignment of cadres to attend the activities of the Party cells, the Standing Committee of the City Party Committee assigned the Organization Committee of the City Party Committee to monitor and develop a report form for the Party Committees and Party cells to report the results of monthly activities in order to evaluate and summarize the activities of the Party cells and promptly provide direction, overcome limitations, and remove difficulties and obstacles at the grassroots level. Therefore, the situation of Party cells skipping activities and not meeting regularly on the 3rd of each month has been basically overcome.

In addition, every 6 months and 1 year, Hoang Mai City Party Committee seriously maintains meetings between the Standing Committee of the City Party Committee, leaders of Party committees and related sectors with secretaries and chairmen of wards and communes; Party cell secretaries and heads of agencies to have orientations in implementing political tasks in localities and units and review the implementation of party admission targets.

In practice, cadres attending the Party cell meetings of wards and communes all had a common assessment: most Party cells have implemented Directive No. 10 of the Secretariat and Instruction No. 09 of the Central Organizing Committee on improving the quality of grassroots Party cell activities relatively well. The content of the meetings closely followed the direction and leadership of the Party Committee, linked to the reality of the block and hamlet, and relatively well resolved outstanding issues in the area.

The evaluation and classification of Party cells and Party members are carried out seriously, strictly and in accordance with regulations. In addition to organizing regular activities, many Party cells have chosen current issues, directly related to the locality to organize activities. Thematic activities focus on contents close to, related to the interests of the people such as building new rural areas, building cultural life in residential areas, maintaining security and order in blocks and hamlets.

After 2 years of implementing Project 04 of the City Party Committee on improving the quality of Party cell activities of ward and commune Party Committees, the quality and order of Party cell activities have had positive changes.

In addition to gradually improving the qualifications, training, education and practical experience of grassroots officials, democracy is thoroughly promoted, problems and conflicts are promptly resolved, and the most dedicated contributions from the grassroots are also received.

Besides the achieved results, there are still some Party cells that have not maintained the routine of Party cell and Party branch activities. Many Party cell committees do not hold meetings before Party cell activities. The quality of Party cell activities is low. In some cases, there are still Party cells that do not hold some regular activities in a year.

The most obvious limitation is the low fighting spirit in Party cell activities, the reluctance to criticize and self-criticize. Some Party cells consider exempting Party members of old age and weak health from activities, which is not in accordance with regulations. Some cadres assigned to attend activities with rural Party cells are not enough.

According to comrade Ho Van Cay - Member of the Standing Committee, Head of the Organization Committee of the Town Party Committee: The assignment of department and office-level cadres of the town to attend meetings with grassroots Party cells has brought about many encouraging and practical results in leadership and direction, especially in Party building work, contributing to improving the leadership capacity, fighting strength of Party cells and the role of Party cell committees. Cadres attending meetings with Party cells of grassroots Party committees have the opportunity to contact and be close to blocks, hamlets, and residential areas, promptly grasp the aspirations of cadres and Party members and contribute to improving their qualifications and practical experience...

In the coming time, to improve the leadership capacity and fighting strength of Party cells under the Party Committees of communes and wards, first of all, each Party Committee must fully recognize the role of Party cells in rural areas. The superior Party Committee needs to regularly and closely direct and orient the activities of Party cells, improve the leadership capacity of Party cells, especially the leadership capacity of Party cell secretaries, and promptly encourage and reward Party cell collectives and individual Party members with outstanding achievements.

Improve the quality of self-criticism and criticism in Party cells. Periodically organize training courses on Party work for secretaries and Party cell committees in the form of "hand-holding and showing how to do things"; organize meetings in commune and ward clusters so that secretaries of Party cells can learn and exchange experiences with each other...
