Nam Dan district, with the joy of being recognized by the Government as a special National Monument in 2012 and the spirit after reviewing the Central Resolution 4, is creating new changes. Mr. Tran Thanh Luyen, in Yen Khanh block, Nam Dan town, shared that in the past, many people when they had to meet with town officials were not very satisfied with the attitude and sense of responsibility of this team. Some officials sometimes came late and left early, making people wait. In the process of communicating with people, the instructions and explanations to people were not thorough. Now, we people often tell each other: The attitude and responsibility of town officials have completely changed, working more responsibly with the people, for the people. Comrade Secretary of Nam Dan District Party Committee, Thai Thanh Quy also affirmed: The most obvious change is in the ideological work, the sense of responsibility of cadres and civil servants has been raised. After the 4th Central Committee review, everyone feels that they have to be more strict with themselves, cultivate and practice better ethics and lifestyle to constantly improve leadership and direction capacity, innovate working methods to better fulfill the duties and responsibilities assigned by the Party and the people. This has been and is being realized by the Party Committee and people of Nam Dan in the implementation of socio-economic, national defense - security and Party building tasks in 2012. Nam Dan is making efforts to achieve the goal of a national model district in building new rural areas. In the 3 poor districts implementing Resolution 30a/CP of the Government: Ky Son, Que Phong, Tuong Duong, they have also demonstrated overcoming difficulties and hardships to follow the common development steps with the province and the country. In Ky Son, thanks to the investment of the State, the infrastructure has developed quite comprehensively, with 100% of communes having car roads to the center; schools and medical stations have been built spaciously and solidly; the power grid system is continuing to be extended to remote communes. The Party Committee and people of all ethnic groups in Ky Son district have also been showing initiative and creativity in building and developing production models suitable to local conditions, bringing economic efficiency and sustainable poverty reduction, such as: raising cows, black chickens, black pigs with high economic value; Tuyet Shan tea trees are grown in the direction of specialized commodity production; ginger and galangal planting models in Na Ngoi, Doc May, Tam Hoa plums in Muong Long and Tay Son communes; peanut planting in Na Loi, Bac Ly, Huu Lap are bright spots in the economic development of the highland border district of Ky Son.

In addition to maintaining a stable 4,819 hectares of rice fields to provide local food sources, in Que Phong there have also been many new economic models. Typical are economic models of growing sugarcane, passion fruit, raising Mong Cai pigs for reproduction; raising fish in cages on rivers, lakes and dams...
