Spreading the practice of following Uncle Ho in the remote district of Tuong Duong
Implementing Conclusion No. 01-KL/TW of the Politburo (13th tenure) "on continuing to implement Directive No. 05-CT/TW on promoting studying and following Ho Chi Minh's ideology, morality and lifestyle", the remote district of Tuong Duong has had many creative models and approaches. Thereby, creating positive changes in both awareness and action among cadres, party members and people.
Leaving the poor behind
Mr. Xong Ba Lu's family in Mong Pha Lom village is one of the first poor households in Tam Hop commune to receive support from the "1,000 VND Fund" model to eliminate dilapidated thatched houses.

Xong Ba Lu happily said: "The 1,000 VND fund sounds small but the meaning and affection are very big, contributing together can help poor households like my family have a new, sturdy house to live in...".
In addition to Mr. Xong Ba Lu's household, there are 3 other households in Tam Hop commune that received support to repair their houses.

According to the Deputy Secretary of the Party Committee of Tam Hop Commune - Gia Ba Tru: The model was implemented from April 2021 to continue to concretize the campaign "Studying and following Ho Chi Minh's ideology, morality and lifestyle", promoting the spirit of mutual love, "a little by little makes a big difference" to form a fund to share and help disadvantaged households in the area.
Accordingly, at the commune People's Committee headquarters and the village cultural house, there is a "1,000 VND Fund" box, opened once a quarter, the collected money will be added to the commune's general fund.
Up to now, this fund has raised 80 million VND to support the demolition of temporary houses for 4 poor households and the commune is currently sponsoring 9 orphaned students in the area.
Among them is Xong Thu Hien, who has a difficult situation. Her father passed away, her mother went to work far away, Hien and her 6th grade sister live with their elderly grandparents in Pha Lom village. Funds from the "1,000 VND Fund" are used to support her in buying books, clothes, etc.
From Tam Hop commune, the "1,000 VND Fund" model has been replicated throughout Tuong Duong district with the name "1,000 VND ATM". After more than 3 years of implementation, 252 party cells in hamlets and schools, trade unions and mass organizations have implemented it, collecting more than 717 million VND. Funds from this fund were used to support 289 poor households to buy breeding animals (cows, goats, pigs), 135 households to buy seedlings (rice, corn, cassava, vegetables and beans of all kinds), give bicycles to poor students to overcome difficulties, and help students in difficult circumstances go to school.
Along with utilizing concentrated funds to promote housing support for the poor, the model of party members helping poor households is also being widely deployed by party committees at all levels throughout the political system.
After launching, 123/146 grassroots party organizations and 398 party members supported 435 households in especially difficult circumstances to build houses, buy trees and seedlings, and help 86 orphans and poor students overcome difficulties to study well.
In addition, through the model "Godmother connects love", the whole district of Tuong Duong has 43 agencies, organizations, units and individuals sponsoring and helping 187 orphans in 17 communes and towns, becoming one of the localities with the largest number of sponsored children in Nghe An province.
According to the assessment of the leaders of Tuong Duong district: The "Godmother" program has helped many orphans have the opportunity to go to school, have a foothold in their journey to grow up, and become useful citizens for society.
This is also a practical task to concretize the implementation of Conclusion No. 01-KL/TW dated May 18, 2021 of the Politburo on continuing to implement Directive No. 05-CT/TW "on promoting studying and following Ho Chi Minh's ideology, morality and lifestyle" in the area.
Join hands to build new countryside
As a mountainous district with over 90% of the population being ethnic minorities, natural and social conditions are still difficult, the poverty rate is still high.
However, thanks to good propaganda work, poverty reduction and new rural construction in Tuong Duong district have had positive changes.
A typical example is in Bay village (Nga My commune), located on National Highway 48C with 518 people/119 households, mainly Thai ethnic group. In recent years, the Party Cell and the Village Management Board have closely combined the organization of studying and following Ho Chi Minh's ideology, morality and lifestyle with the emulation movements to build new rural areas in the locality.
Thereby, people voluntarily contributed funds to install 58 street lights along National Highway 48C and internal roads worth 111 million VND; contributed 459m3 sand, 882m3 gravel and 1,857 working days worth more than 728 million VND to build 2,431m of intra-village and intra-field roads; donated 5,000m2Land, 1,100 working days and other construction materials to build Nga My market, worth 260 million VND.
Regarding economic development, in addition to raising livestock and poultry, the Ban Bay Party Cell issued a Resolution to deploy a model of growing high-yield mahogany, acacia, cassava; male papaya, Taiwanese mango, and glutinous corn on double-rice land for stable income..
In particular, from September 2022, Nga My market will come into operation, creating favorable conditions for the consumption of agricultural and forestry products and other goods, bringing income to local people.
Thanks to that, the poverty rate of the village is only 9.24%, with 80/119 households escaping poverty, accounting for 67.23%; the average income is estimated at over 42,541,000 VND/person/year.
In 2023, Bay village was recognized as a new rural standard village, and the village Party cell was proposed by the Tuong Duong District Party Committee to the Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee to award a Certificate of Merit for "studying and following Ho Chi Minh's ideology, morality and lifestyle".
In Tam Quang commune, to build advanced new rural areas, propaganda work is associated with launching emulation campaigns to set examples, overcome the mentality of waiting and relying, and build self-reliance and self-strengthening spirit among party members and people.
Many villages and hamlets have invested in building infrastructure for stadiums, installing solar power systems; laying drainage systems; repairing cultural houses; proactively promoting strengths in forestry (bamboo, bamboo), animal husbandry, and aquaculture, creating a breakthrough in building advanced new rural areas.
Thanks to that, this border commune has now achieved 11/19 advanced new rural criteria; average income per capita increased from 43.2 million VND to 48.1 million VND; the poverty rate decreased from 228 households (11.3%) to 195 households (9.6%).
Similarly, with the motto "State and people work together", "easy things first, difficult things later", many other localities such as Thach Giam, Tam Thai, Tam Dinh, Xa Luong reached the new rural finish line on schedule...
The movement to build rural traffic and roads to production areas has created a widespread impact and received unanimous support from the people. In 2023 alone, the whole district has opened 43 roads to production areas with a length of 74,177m.
This result clearly reflects the determination of the entire political system and the solidarity and unanimity of the people.
Promoting the exemplary role of leaders
To put Conclusion 01-KL/TW of the Politburo into practice, every year, the Standing Committee of Tuong Duong District Party Committee requests grassroots Party organizations to direct the implementation in conjunction with the implementation of political tasks of localities and units.
In particular, focus on selecting key, breakthrough contents, urgent and prominent issues in the locality to focus on leadership and implementation.
Each cadre, party member, civil servant, public employee, union member, and household member in the political system; especially the head of the Party Committee, government, agency, and unit has the responsibility to set an example in studying and following Ho Chi Minh's ideology, morality, and lifestyle according to the motto "above first, below last", "inside first, outside last", "party member goes first, the country follows"...
Through studying, following and practicing exemplary behavior, the sense of organization, discipline, responsibility, attitude, style and working manner of cadres, party members, civil servants and public employees are improved.
Departments, branches, and organizations, especially at the commune level, gradually overcome the "waiting and relying" mentality, promote the spirit of initiative and creativity, and closely follow the political tasks of the locality.
Patriotic emulation movements have been effectively deployed in many fields... Thereby, contributing to the successful implementation of the goals set forth by Party Congress resolutions at all levels.
However, the implementation of Conclusion 01-KL/TW of the Politburo in Tuong Duong district still has some limitations such as: The exemplary role of some cadres and party members, especially leaders, is not clear; solving some urgent and prominent issues among the people in some places is still slow; the degradation of moral qualities and lifestyle still occurs in some cadres and party members to the extent that they have to be disciplined, expelled, or have their names removed (in 2022 and 2023, the entire district party committee had 30 party members whose names were removed; 12 party members were expelled)...
To overcome the above shortcomings and limitations, the Standing Committee of Tuong Duong District Party Committee determined: Continue to focus on leading and directing the implementation of Conclusion 01-KL/TW of the Politburo in conjunction with the implementation of Resolution 4 of the 11th and 12th Central Committees, Conclusion 21-KL/TW of the 13th Party Central Committee on promoting Party building and rectification and the political system; resolutely prevent, repel, and strictly handle cadres and party members who have degraded in political ideology, ethics, and lifestyle, and who show signs of "self-evolution" and "self-transformation".
Consider this one of the key, regular tasks of agencies, units, and localities. In particular, focus on the exemplary role of cadres, party members, civil servants, and public employees, especially leaders, in studying and following Uncle Ho.
Thereby, contributing to strengthening people's trust in Party committees and authorities at all levels.
