Nghe An: 7 more communes complete 19/19 new rural criteria

Mr. Nguyen Van Hang - Deputy Chief of the Provincial New Rural Area Coordination Office said: In August and early September, the Provincial New Rural Area Appraisal Council conducted appraisals at 7 communes registered to reach the New Rural Area target in 2019, including: Cong Thanh, Thinh Thanh, Quang Thanh, Tay Thanh (Yen Thanh); Nghia Thang (Nghia Dan); Nghi Xa (Nghi Loc) and Dien Hung (Dien Chau).

Through assessment, it was shown that these 7 communes have basically completed 19/19 criteria. The Provincial New Rural Area Assessment Council agreed to submit to the Provincial People's Committee for recognition of meeting the standards in 2019.

In 2019, Nghe An's plan is to strive to have 39 communes meet the NTM standards. Thus, from now until the end of 2019, Nghe An will conduct appraisals in the remaining 32 communes.

There is not much time left in 2019, communes registered to reach the NTM finish line focus investment resources on criteria that have not been met. Communes that have been assessed continue to improve criteria, especially criteria: Traffic, environment, cultural institutions...
