(Baonghean) -Quang Tien is a ward of Thai Hoa town established 5 years ago after being separated from Nghia Quang commune (old) of Nghia Dan district. After 2 years of implementing Directive 03 on "continuing to promote studying and following the moral example of Ho Chi Minh", with the achievements, Quang Tien ward Party Committee is a typical collective of the province to be proposed to the Central Propaganda Department for commendation for outstanding achievements in 2 years of implementing Directive 03.

We returned to Quang Tien in May, when the Party Committee, government and people of Thai Hoa Town were organizing activities to celebrate the 5th anniversary of its founding. 5 years of development in a land with great potential is not a long time, but it is enough for a small district town in the Phu Quy plateau to "turn around and stretch" into a bustling urban center of the entire Northwest region of Nghe An. In that general development, Quang Tien ward has also made great strides to become one of the economic - cultural - social centers of the young urban area of ​​Thai Hoa.

Quang Tien Ward has a natural area of ​​776 hectares divided into 12 blocks, home to nearly 3,000 households with about 10,000 people. Implementing Directive 03 of the Politburo on "Continuing to promote studying and following the moral example of Ho Chi Minh", the ward has deployed many specific and drastic action programs in all fields, emphasizing the exemplary role of cadres and party members in the implementation process. For example, in the field of urban beautification, we look to Quang Thinh block - the first block in the ward to complete the concreting of internal roads with funds contributed by the people.

The entire block has 195 households with nearly 800 people, the party cell has 36 party members who have just been awarded a certificate of merit by the Provincial Party Committee for 5 consecutive years as a clean and strong party cell. After a warm greeting, Mr. Le Dinh Dat - Party cell secretary shared: In the party cell, we determine not only to stop at studying Uncle Ho's moral example, but also to follow it with concrete actions in reality. First of all, each party member in the party cell must train himself to truly become a good party member, only then will the party cell be truly good. From there, the masses will trust, support and follow. Besides, to fully promote the role of party members, the Quang Thinh block party cell has specifically assigned each party member to be in charge of 10-15 households to mobilize people to implement the policies and guidelines of the Party and State, and resolutions of party committees at all levels".

Therefore, over the past years, the general movement of the block has developed strongly, all policies have "stepped out" of the paper to really enter life, closely linked with the practical activities of the people. In 2 years (2011, 2012), after the policy of the Party cell and Party members joined the movement, on average each household of the block voluntarily contributed a total of 2.3 million VND to complete the concreting of traffic within the block. The proud results in Quang Thinh block have brought the movement to have a strong spread, the urban beautification work in the whole ward when the people of the whole ward joined hands, voluntarily contributed 447 million VND, 1,570 working days to build concrete roads in the blocks, the people also voluntarily donated land to build roads with a total area of ​​885m2.

With the policy of pleasing the people, in the field of economic development, the Ward Party Committee has actively directed and encouraged the development of household economy. Up to now, the whole ward has 36 limited liability companies, 684 households engaged in small-scale handicraft production, basic construction, trade and services and building economic development models, creating high economic efficiency, great influence such as the Quang Tien pink grapefruit model in Trung Nghia block and Doc Cao block, producing plant varieties in Experimental block... Following the guidance of comrade Bui Van Lan - Secretary of the Ward Party Committee, we went to Experimental block, which is known for its brand of supplying acacia, sua, lat, grapefruit, orange varieties... to localities in the province and some neighboring provinces such as Thanh Hoa, Ha Tinh... Mr. Nguyen Quang Hung's family, Experimental block is an example in the work of building and developing the nursery profession. On an area of ​​1,000m2, Mr. Hung's family nurtures 100,000 fruit tree varieties. “Every year, I sell about 80,000 seedlings, earning from several tens to 100 million VND. Currently, my family is investing in growing Quang Tien pink grapefruit because farmers' demand for this variety is very high, and the price of seedlings on the market is also quite high, promising to bring in a good income,” Mr. Hung happily shared. In the Experimental Block, there are currently about 20 households growing seedlings, many of which have an income of hundreds of millions of VND/year.
