Efforts to create resources for Party development work

(Baonghean) - Difficulties in developing party members are posing many challenges to Nam Dan Party Committees. The task requires creative and flexible solutions to gradually overcome difficulties, consolidate the grassroots political system, and enhance the capacity of grassroots party organizations.

Facing many difficulties from the grassroots

Nam Dan has 61 grassroots party organizations (TCCSĐ), including 24 commune and town party committees with 418 affiliated party cells. With the planned target, each party cell admits one party member per year, however, many party cells have difficulty completing this target.

Because the number of new party members admitted each year is only about 200, it means that many party cells cannot admit new party members. For example, in the Party Committee of Nam Kim commune, out of a total of 26 party cells, 13 party cells have not admitted any new party members in more than 6 years (from 2010 to present); 8/26 party cells have admitted only 1 party member; 3/26 party cells have admitted 2 party members.

Or in Kim Lien Commune Party Committee, from 2010 to now, there are 12 Party cells that have not been able to admit new Party members. At the same time, many communes also have Party cells that have not been able to admit Party members for many years, such as Khanh Son with 7 Party cells; Hong Long with 6 Party cells; Nam Loc with 4 Party cells; Nam Thanh with 4 Party cells; Nam Anh with 4 Party cells; Xuan Lam with 3 Party cells; Hung Tien with 3 Party cells; Nam Nghia with 3 Party cells.

The most common reason for the above situation is that a large number of working-age laborers in the localities have "left" the country, causing the source for developing party members to be narrowed. In addition, the small number of local workers lack the ideal to strive for and are not interested in joining the Party.

Comrade Pham Quyet Thang - Secretary of the Party Committee of Nam Kim commune, shared: "Every year, in the area, there are about 100 high school graduates who basically go to university, participate in labor export and work far away. Another labor force also finds seasonal jobs out of the area, so they are less attached to local movements and have no desire to join the Party."

In Nam Cat commune, comrade Doan Thi Oanh - Secretary of the Commune Party Committee said: Besides the difficulty in finding resources, there are a number of union members and members of associations and organizations who have studied Party subjects but do not show determination to be admitted.

Along with that, some party cells are also worried about the increasing number of probationary party members being removed from the party membership list or at risk of being removed from the party membership list because they work far away and do not fully participate in the party cell's activities. This reality is not only in Nam Cat commune but also occurs in many localities.

Strengthening training resources for the Party

With the above difficulties, Party committees at all levels in Nam Dan are struggling to implement solutions to supplement resources for Party cells, avoiding the risk of blocks and hamlets having no Party cells or Party cells having too few Party members. For the Party Committee of Nam Dan town, based on the targets assigned by the District Party Committee, the unit allocates targets to Party cells, each Party cell strives to admit 1 Party member/year. At the same time, it provides orientation for Party cells; assigns responsibilities to mass organizations and military and police sectors..., reviews its forces and encourages positive factors to strive to join the Party.

According to comrade Bien Van Trung - Secretary of the Town Party Committee, many Party cells have been very active and creative in propaganda, education, persuasion, and creating resources for recruitment. There are good factors, but their political awareness and ideals are limited. In addition to propaganda and education of that individual, some Party cells also directly go to the house to mobilize and persuade parents to work together.

On the other hand, in the past, the source for party membership mainly relied on union members and youth, but recently, party cells have focused on those who are past the age of the Union in organizations such as Veterans, Women, Police, Militia, etc.

With this approach, over the years, the Town Party Committee has always been the unit with a fairly large number of new Party members in Nam Dan district. In 2016 alone, the Party Committee admitted 15 Party members (all from the block Party cells, not from the school Party cells) and in the first 6 months of 2017, there were 5 Party members.

The general situation in rural party cells today is that the average age of party members is getting higher and higher, with the majority being elderly party members and very few young party members; meanwhile, developing new party members is very difficult.

Many Party Committees of communes in Nam Dan have focused on and proposed many measures to develop Party members, such as assigning Party development targets to Party cells; at the same time, assigning responsibilities to organizations to mobilize and create resources for training.

In which, attention is paid to the youth union force, the force of students returning to their localities after graduation; associated with prioritizing positions in hamlets and communes, such as secretaries of youth union branches, associations and part-time cadres in communes, creating a source of cadres for the commune.

With the efforts and determination of the Party cells, the Party Committee and the direction of the District Party Committee, the results of admitting new Party members every year in Nam Dan reached the set target. In 2016 alone, the entire Party Committee admitted 203 Party members and in the first 7 months of 2017 admitted 129 Party members.

Comrade Nguyen Xuan Dung - Deputy Head of the District Party Committee's Organization Board, said: Recognizing the difficulties that reality is posing for the Party development work, in the 2015 - 2020 term, Nam Dan District Party Committee continued to issue 2 Resolutions, including solutions to strengthen the development of Party members, while assigning responsibility to the Vietnam Fatherland Front Committee and mass organizations to build factors to introduce sources for the Party to recruit.

Along with that, continue to deploy the Plan to implement Project No. 5155 of the Provincial Party Committee on Developing Party members and Party organizations in private enterprises and foreign-invested enterprises in the province; issue the Plan to implement Project No. 01/DA-TU/2016 of the Provincial Party Committee on building Party cells and developing Party members in blocks, hamlets, and villages without Party cells, without Party members, and blocks, hamlets, and villages at risk of no longer having Party cells, period 2016 - 2020.

The District Party Committee also regularly reviews and urges the work of developing party members in each party committee, promptly commends active party committees, and at the same time criticizes and reminds weak party committees in developing party members...

The task of developing party members at the grassroots level is always an urgent requirement to increase the force, contribute to increasing the intelligence and strength of grassroots party organizations, and actively participate in concretizing the Party's Resolutions at all levels into life.
