Nghe An does a good job of ideological work to create new momentum.

Stick to practice to make ideology

Dai Son commune (Do Luong district) is a locality with difficult natural and social conditions. This is the last commune to reach the new rural area in the district in 2021. However, the success in directing the construction of new rural areas has "unleashed" the thinking in the leadership and direction of the Party Committee, the government and the entire political system, especially "unleashing" the ideology: this is a common policy of national scope, every locality must do it, it is mainly done by the people's strength, the State is only supportive and the people are the beneficiaries, Do Luong district continues to direct Dai Son commune to build advanced new rural areas in 2024.

After 1 year of strong direction, up to now, Dai Son commune has basically completed 19 criteria for advanced new rural communes, with only one content remaining in the criteria for quality of living environment, which is the rate of households using clean water from the centralized water supply system, which is currently being promoted by the local clean water supply unit to implement.

Lessons learned in building new rural areas and advanced new rural areas, according to comrade Nguyen Thuc Thanh - Secretary of the Party Committee of Dai Son commune: The core issue is to do well the ideological work through firmly grasping the guidelines and policies to propagate and mobilize the people, associated with the pioneering work with the people from cadres and civil servants. In propaganda and mobilization, closely follow the reality, clearly identify the characteristics and situation of each subject and residential area, ensuring flexibility and sensitivity in ideological work. To do so, each cadre, civil servant, and non-professional worker in the commune and hamlet must be really close to the grassroots, understand the people, and cultivate the skills to persuade the people.

Along with that is the selection of "seeds" with prestige and "weighty" voices with the people in each residential area to work together as ideologists. In particular, the Party Committee and the government must keep their promises to the people and all actions must be for the people's rights and interests, creating trust for the people in the cadres.

Regarding Hamlet 6, Dai Son Commune, a unit that is considered excellent in local movements, according to comrade Nguyen Tho Huy - Party Cell Secretary and Hamlet Chief, said: On the basis of the policies and resolutions of the commune Party Committee, the Party Cell issues resolutions, sets out policies that are close to reality and in line with the people's wishes, creating a clear understanding among cadres, party members and people. As in the construction of new rural areas and advanced new rural areas, from the reality of the large area of ​​Hamlet 6, except for a central residential cluster, the number of households living in a concentrated manner, there are many routes with a sparse number of households living, there are routes that are more than 200m long, but only have 2 households living; if we mobilize contributions to build concrete roads in the form of following the routes where people live, it will be difficult to create a common and widespread movement.

Therefore, the Party Cell of Hamlet 6 issued a resolution to mobilize the average contribution level according to the population of the whole hamlet and carried out ideological work, arousing the spirit of solidarity, sharing, and mutual support in the community, while making people in the central area understand that they enjoy more benefits in terms of infrastructure than the remote areas. The roads are prioritized first, followed by the routes far from the center, ensuring that all people enjoy the same benefits; public and transparent revenue and clear settlement. By doing so, from the beginning of the 2020-2025 term up to now, Hamlet 6 has created consensus among people to donate land to adjust and widen from 2.5 - 3 m to 5 - 7 m and pour concrete on more than 13 km of rural roads.

Innovation, creativitycreate to "go ahead, pave the way"

Ideological work is an important and regular task of Party building to ensure high consensus within the Party and society, ensuring the successful implementation of the Party's guidelines, policies and resolutions. Recognizing the role of "going ahead and paving the way" of ideological work, Party committees at all levels in Nghe An have focused on innovation and creativity, ensuring high efficiency for this work.

To ensure innovation in political and ideological work, right from the beginning of the 2020-2025 term, Dien Chau District Party Committee issued the Project "Strengthening the Party's leadership in political and ideological work in the new situation" with specific goals, tasks and solutions. In particular, Dien Chau district pays attention to taking care of ideological work, improving the political capacity of cadres and party members, ensuring the completion of tasks, while contributing to preventing and repelling degradation in political ideology, ethics, lifestyle and manifestations of "self-evolution" and "self-transformation" within the Party. Proactively grasp the situation of developments in public opinion and ideology among cadres, party members and people to orient and rectify; resolutely fight against wrongdoings and divisions in the great solidarity bloc within the Party and people through directing Party cells to organize ideological activities in regular Party cell meetings and organizing thematic meetings on ideological work.

Dien Chau District Party Committee also directed Party committees at all levels to strengthen the organization of thematic reporting conferences and dialogues related to contents and areas where ideological developments are forecasted, such as thematic reports on administrative unit arrangement in 10 communes and towns subject to arrangement; thematic reports and dialogues in areas implementing site clearance, especially key projects; on new rural construction, advanced new rural construction; on party member development, etc.

Comrade Chu Hong Phi - Head of the Propaganda Department of Dien Chau District Party Committee affirmed: Focusing on ideological work has contributed to completing the site clearance work for a number of key projects, such as the North - South Expressway, coastal road, Tho Loc Industrial Park and many inter-commune and inter-district roads that have been expanded and upgraded. The district was recognized as meeting new rural standards in 2023 and the movement to build advanced new rural areas is continuing to be promoted with 8 communes and towns meeting civilized urban standards. The district completed the arrangement of administrative units in 10 communes and towns into 5 communes and towns, creating high consensus among cadres, party members and people with a consensus voting rate of over 98%. The result of admitting party members in 2024 was the highest since the beginning of the 2020 - 2025 term, with 390 party members, also clearly showing the mark of ideological work.

Innovating ideological work in Do Luong district, in addition to proactively grasping the situation of ideological developments, public opinion and information reported by the press, people's reflections for timely handling, combined with strengthening propaganda to protect the Party's ideological foundation, fighting against and refuting hostile and erroneous arguments.

According to comrade Nguyen Minh Hanh - Head of the Propaganda Department of Do Luong District Party Committee: Party committees at all levels have closely followed political tasks and local practices to carry out ideological work, creating unity in awareness and action among all levels, sectors, cadres, party members and people with the goal of developing Do Luong district into a town before 2030. The method and way of doing ideology is to diversify propaganda forms; harmoniously combine indirect forms through online systems, social networks, mass media and direct, especially focusing on oral propaganda through cadres, party members and prestigious people in agencies, units and residential areas. Do Luong district maintains "ideological activities days" in grassroots Party organizations to promptly grasp and solve the "root" of ideological issues every month, not leaving ideological "hot spots".

The year 2025 is forecasted to have many intertwined opportunities and challenges, with more challenges than opportunities; a year with many important events for the country and Nghe An. This is also a year with many key tasks that need to be done, especially organizing Party congresses at all levels, towards the 14th National Party Congress, continuing to innovate, streamline the political system's apparatus, operate effectively, efficiently, and effectively, and organize the implementation of Resolution 39 of the Politburo and Resolution 137 of the National Assembly Standing Committee on Nghe An.

Therefore, comrade Hoang Nghia Hieu - Standing Deputy Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee, Chairman of the Provincial People's Council emphasized: "Propaganda, political and ideological orientation must continue to receive special attention; making cadres, party members and people correctly understand and well implement the State's guidelines, policies and laws, associated with timely refuting erroneous and hostile viewpoints, protecting the Party's ideological foundation. Ideological work must promote the building of solidarity and unity within the Party, consensus in society, promote the will of self-reliance, self-improvement, innovation, creativity, daring to think, daring to do, daring to face difficulties among cadres, party members and people, especially the pioneering and leading spirit of cadres and party members, determined to successfully carry out political tasks at each level and each sector; creating new momentum, bringing Nghe An to develop more strongly in the coming period".
