(Baonghean.vn) - The ideology of respecting the people and the style of being close to the people, listening to the people's opinions is an important content in the ethics and style of Ho Chi Minh. Especially for people in remote areas, ethnic minority areas - where people still face many difficulties in life, being close to the people and understanding the people is an extremely important factor. Realizing that, local Party committees and authorities have taken many practical actions for the interests and legitimate aspirations of the people.

Commune officials harvest rice to help people

When the ripe rice fields spread across Xop Kho village, Nga My commune (Tuong Duong), Mr. Luong Xuan Binh (born in 1946) and his wife happily received support from local officials during the harvest. Mr. Binh said that his only son died early due to a serious illness, leaving the old couple to rely on each other. The family's economy mainly depends on a few fields, but because of their declining health, they encountered many difficulties in the farming process.

Understanding that, for many years, the cadres of Xop Kho village and Nga My commune have always promptly supported the couple in the stages that require human labor such as planting, harvesting, and threshing rice. Thanks to that, the couple has reduced the hardship and difficulty every time the harvest season comes. Sharing the joy with Mr. Binh, the families of Mrs. Lo Thi Guong and Quang Thi Sam in Bay village have also received enthusiastic help from local cadres for many years. They are all over 70 years old, their health is declining but they do not have the main labor force in the house to rely on, so the help of party members and local cadres is like a support to help them stabilize their lives.

As a key factor in the movement to help people in difficult circumstances, Mr. Ngan Van Tu - Vice Chairman of Nga My Commune People's Committee said that the people of Nga My Commune are mainly ethnic minorities including Thai and Kho Mu ethnic groups. The culture of the people always respects sincerity and closeness in community relations. Therefore, if local officials want to be trusted and loved by the people, they must first be sincere with the people. That sincerity is shown through caring, closeness and understanding of the thoughts and aspirations arising from the lives of the people.

Over the years, the Party Committee, the government and socio-political organizations in Nga My commune have always stood up to help people within their capacity, this seems to have become a good tradition in Nga My land. In each planting and harvesting season, everyone makes a list of households lacking labor and needing help so that local officials can directly mobilize human resources to help. That has strengthened the solidarity and attachment between the villagers and the officials and party members in the area where they live. Resolutions and policies on socio-economic development have also been unanimously supported by the people and effectively implemented.

A typical example is the process of implementing the policy of mobilizing people to increase land reclamation and improve production land area. Thanks to that, Nga My has become the commune with the largest reclaimed land area in Tuong Duong district. Specifically, out of the total 170.4 hectares of production land of the whole commune, up to 103 hectares are reclaimed by people. Notably, people in Canh village reclaimed more than 21 hectares, Xop Kho village 15.6 hectares, Na Kho village 20.4 hectares and Na Ngan village 38.4 hectares. Under the scientific guidance of local officials, people have boldly cultivated high-quality rice varieties such as Song Lam 9, sticky rice 97, NA2, NA6 with a yield of up to 66 quintals per hectare. Agricultural by-products have created conditions for the development of a herd of more than 3,000 cattle and buffaloes, thousands of poultry, increasing per capita income every year. Thanks to that, people's lives have become increasingly stable. In addition, people have boldly approached new economic models such as: growing medicinal plants, growing fruit trees, raising fattened cattle... to gradually complete the economic resolutions set forth by the locality.

Deputy Secretary of the Nga My Commune Party Committee - Luong Thi Lang said: The locality always considers the interests and aspirations of the people as the key factor in building and implementing resolutions, especially resolutions on economic development. Thanks to that, over the past time, all aspects of life in the commune have gradually changed in a positive direction. If the income of the people 5 years ago was only 14 million VND/person/year, now it has reached 24 million VND/person/year, the criteria for building new rural areas are also increasingly improved, making Nga My's appearance more and more developed.

Determined to build roads when people expect

During this time, going to Anh Son, walking along the Lam River through Thach Son commune, you will see a vast green color of corn. The nearly 110ha alluvial land has been associated with more than 500 corn-growing households in Thach Son commune for many generations. However, the journey to bring corn to find a foothold on this land has never been simple. Previously, the internal transportation system of the Thach Son commune alluvial land was too weak to exploit its potential. The roads were too narrow and subsided, so people had many difficulties when transporting agricultural products during the harvest season. Traders also forced down prices, demanding more transportation fees, so people did not make much profit.

From the urgent need to upgrade the internal traffic system, the people of Thach Son expressed their desire to form gravel roads leading to the beach area in dialogues with local authorities and Party committees. Realizing that this is a legitimate desire of the people for economic development, the locality has determined to use the budget and mobilize social resources to build 3 main roads with a total length of nearly 1.6km in the beach area.

Since the road was built, the cultivation and care of crops in the alluvial plains of the people have been smooth. Especially, during the harvest season, large trucks from 35 to 40 tons can go to the fields to transport and consume agricultural products. The joy is doubled when the corn area of ​​the people is sold as biomass. Thanks to that, the economic value of each sao of corn has reached 1.4 million VND. This helps people have an additional source of income to rotate production.

By listening to the people's thoughts and aspirations, over the past time, Thach Son commune has also resolved many legitimate aspirations of the people related to many important issues such as: encroachment on traffic corridors, environmental pollution in production and livestock farming...

Looking across the province, the Party Committees, authorities and the Fatherland Front at all levels have always paid attention to grasping the aspirations and thoughts of the people.

Through these meetings, a forum has been created for people to express their thoughts, aspirations and opinions in order to promptly consider and resolve the problems that the people have proposed.
