The Deputy Head of the Provincial Party Committee's Propaganda and Mass Mobilization Commission stated that social progress, equality, and care for the people's material and spiritual life are strategic, long-term, and urgent requirements for the cause of building and defending the Fatherland. This is also the core ideology that runs through President Ho Chi Minh's revolutionary career.

Studying and following Ho Chi Minh's ideology, morality and style on progress, social justice, and caring for the material and spiritual life of the people is not only a tribute to his precious ideological values, but also the correct and urgent path to realize the aspiration to develop a prosperous and happy country for the Vietnamese people.

Applying Ho Chi Minh's thought and the Party's viewpoints, guidelines and policies on implementing social progress and justice, and caring for people's lives, Party committees and authorities at all levels have paid great attention, made efforts, and implemented many synchronous solutions, achieving remarkable results.

Politically, Nghe An province always implements and ensures freedom and democracy for the people. In terms of economic development, Nghe An maintains a fairly high growth rate, higher than the national average, creating favorable conditions to increasingly better care for people's lives.

By the end of 2024, the rate of cultural villages, hamlets and blocks will reach 69.8%; the rate of wards, communes and towns with standard cultural and sports institutions will be 79.3%.

The quality of key education continues to be affirmed. The quality of comprehensive education is increasingly improved. The whole province has 1,166 schools meeting national standards, reaching a rate of 80.3%.

Medical work and public health care are carried out synchronously; the quality of medical examination and treatment is gradually improved. In 2024, the whole province will create jobs for 48,500 people, reaching 103.19% of the plan.

From 2023 to present, Nghe An province has mobilized and supported the construction and repair of about 14,000 houses for the poor and people with housing difficulties and strives to complete the program by July 31, 2025.

Social security work is directed with attention; policies and regimes for meritorious people, policy beneficiaries, the poor, and workers are implemented promptly and fully. The average poverty rate in the Western region decreases by 3-4% per year. The poverty rate in the whole province is estimated to be 4.12% by the end of 2024, down 1.07% compared to the beginning of the year.

The Deputy Head of the Provincial Party Committee's Propaganda and Mass Mobilization Department said that although those results have not really achieved the goals set by the Party Committees and authorities at all levels and have not met the aspirations of the people, they are the efforts of the entire Party Committee, authorities at all levels, and people of all walks of life and are the basis for us to strive to fulfill Uncle Ho's wish for our homeland Nghe An, which is to build our province into a prosperous province in the North.
