Affirming and enhancing the role of party cells

Our Party organizations and Party members exist in all fields of politics, economics, culture, armed forces, foreign affairs,... in rural areas, urban areas, at the central and local levels, at home and abroad. Each field, each locality has different characteristics. In this short article, we only mention a fairly common type: Party cells in rural areas, in the province.

Uncle Ho once said: Our country is an agricultural country, if farmers are rich, our country is rich, if agriculture is prosperous, our country is prosperous, if the countryside is peaceful, the country is peaceful. That is also the development strategy, the guarantee for the sustainability and stability of the homeland and the country.

Strong Party cell, strong movement

Party cellis the place that most clearly and vividly demonstrates the concretization of the Party's leadership over the people to carry out political tasks. The results of socio-economic development, Party building and the political system are a mirror reflecting and testing the quality of policies, resolutions, programs and plans, and are also a measure of the leadership capacity of Party committees and authorities at all levels.

Practice shows that where the Party Cell is united, dynamic, creative, makes efforts on its own and knows how to mobilize and guide the people to complete tasks, there the masses trust and are excited, the movement is strong and sustainable and vice versa.

Improve leadership capacity and fighting strength of party organizations and party members

The Party cell is the cell of the Party, the root of the Party in the masses. If the Party cell is good, all policies of the Party will be well implemented. The leadership role of a good Party cell will ensure the maintenance of the fighting strength of the Party cell, and vice versa, the fighting strength of the Party cell will be maintained.Good Party Cellwill be the driving force to promote the leadership role of the Party Cell.

The Party cell and Party members in the Party cell are the places that are close to and in direct contact with the masses and are subject to the supervision of the people. The Party cell is the place that requires the highest level of self-awareness, pioneering spirit, and exemplary behavior of cadres and Party members. Whenever implementing village regulations, conventions, and local tasks, the saying "Party members go first, the village follows" will be most clearly demonstrated. Fulfilling obligations, contributing labor, money, donating land to pave the way for new rural construction, preserving cultural lifestyles, hygiene, environment, etc.party members, party members' familiesIf cadres are lazy, no matter how much they propagate, mobilize, call, and urge the masses, it will be very difficult.

It is necessary to pay attention to fostering the qualities and capacities of the team of Party committee and Party cell cadres.

The age of rural party members in our country is quite high. In many places, Party cell meetings are like the Elderly Association, full of "silver-haired" people.Source of Party cell cadresThe current rural situation is very difficult, with little “input” and much “output”. The youth force and young party members often go to work far away, so they mainly look to former soldiers, retirees and some elite people in mass organizations. Their strength is that they have access to other environments and spaces, broadening their vision, but not everyone has ever been a cadre or done Party building work. Therefore, many people are not familiar with the work and have little experience. Therefore, there are comrades who do not have a firm grasp of leadership methods, functions and tasks; there are comrades who only know in general, lack deep understanding of varieties, seasons, scientific knowledge in agriculture, especially the application of new technologies and clean agriculture. There are comrades who, due to their enthusiasm and initiative, “encroach”, make excuses, do things for others, and are often confused.

We have just organized Party Congresses at all levels for the 2020-2025 term. Training and professional development for the team of Party Cell Secretaries at the beginning of the term is very necessary. In training, we should not be "greedy and take on too much", all content is important. The problem is to identify the right subjects, the right goals and requirements. It is necessary to choose specific and practical content, providing basic and practical "handbooks" on Party building work in Party Cells. Through training, cadres can be assured, confident, have a firm grasp of their functions and tasks, understand and know how to resolve the relationship between Party Committees, Party Cells and mass organizations, etc. so that they have enough "capital" in the process of working. In the training content, we can invite a few typical, experienced, effective and convincing people to report or visit and learn about the reality. We should spend enough time to discuss and answer questions. Avoid one-sided dissemination, bringing up too many theories, going on and on, which will be ineffective.

Every term, there should be at least one competition for excellent Party Cell Secretaries. In fact, for many years, many localities have done this with good results.

According to regulations, the current preferential policies for rural Party cell cadres are still low. For comrades with good achievements and high credibility, every year, half or at the end of the term, priority should be given to organizing exchanges, visits and learning from good typical models for this group, which will both motivate and encourage them, and broaden their vision and improve their professional capacity.
