(Baonghean.vn) - In the mountainous district of Con Cuong, 217 households in Yen Khe commune have submitted applications to be removed from the list of poor households. Although the actions of the households are voluntary, based on the criteria for poor households and a multi-dimensional review, the district has decided to remove 133 households that meet the criteria and have submitted applications from the list of poor households.
This is a funny story, proving that the majority of people in the highlands of Nghe An are truly enlightened, abandoning the mindset of relying on government policies, and striving to eliminate hunger and reduce poverty.

| The family of Mr. Thai Van Thanh and his wife Bui Thi Phuong are originally from Yen Thanh district and came to Yen Khe to start a business. In 2014, Mr. Thanh became seriously ill, so the people considered him a poor household. At the end of 2015, he asked the people not to consider his family as a poor household anymore. He said: "The family has 2.5 sao of tea; the children have started their own families, and their illnesses have improved, so we should not keep the poor household. That's why I wrote the petition." |

| Reality has proven that in the mountainous area of Yen Khe, people can completely develop the economy and get rich by their own labor. For example, growing oranges, there are households that earn profits of over 600 million VND/ha/year. The total area of orange trees in Yen Khe is up to 150ha. |
