Party cell activities in clusters in mountainous communes

Previously, in Tien Phong commune, there were many Party committee officials with limited capacity, many Party cells operated ineffectively, leading to ineffectiveness in leading and directing people to self-reliantly improve in production and participate in mass movements.

However, with many specific and drastic measures and methods, this locality has gradually overcome the above limitations. The Tien Phong Commune Party Committee has been recognized by superiors as exemplary Clean and Strong for 5 consecutive years.

One of the methods applied by the Tien Phong Commune Party Committee is to conduct Party cell activities in clusters. Among the 31 Party cells under the Tien Phong Commune Party Committee, there are 25 village Party cells divided into 5 clusters, each cluster will send a model Party cell to conduct activities during the monthly meeting.

In addition to the party members of the “cluster leader” party cell, the participants also include members of the Party Committees of the party cells in the cluster. The party cell activities in clusters have been directed by the Tien Phong Commune Party Committee since 2016. Up to now, the party cell clusters have basically mastered and conducted in a disciplined manner, increasingly promoting efficiency.

Evaluating the times participating in cluster party cell activities, Secretary of Na Cay village Party Cell Lu Van Quy said: "This method not only creates conditions for party cells to learn from each other, but also helps each member party cell see their own limitations so that they can overcome them promptly to gradually improve the quality of activities, helping party committee cadres to cultivate their leadership and direction skills."

Secretary of the Tien Phong Commune Party Committee Nguyen Ngoc Nghia said that directing the Party cells to conduct activities in clusters was quite difficult at first because the awareness and ideology of some Party cell officials were not "comprehensive"; besides, they were used to the old way of working, taking few notes, expressing few opinions, and participating in specialized activities.

Therefore, in the beginning, when the Party cell clusters held activities, the Commune Party Committee sent cadres to closely follow, support, and guide from the preparation stage until the end and implementation of the contents after the activities. In particular, the Commune Party Committee regularly attended the clusters in rotation, especially the Secretary.

Along with dividing clusters for model party cell activities, Tien Phong commune also divided residential areas into self-managed security and order groups, established production teams to facilitate the party cell in implementing work contents, helping people stabilize production, life and develop mass movements.

To help Party cells improve the quality of their activities, the Tien Phong Commune Party Committee has resolutely directed the implementation of regulations on Party activities. Accordingly, each Party cell is required to prepare the content in advance before the meeting for the Party Committee to approve and provide further guidance.

In particular, the content of the Party cell's activities must include basic parts such as evaluating the results of the previous month's tasks; thereby pointing out the shortcomings and limitations so that at the meeting, Party members can discuss, evaluate, propose solutions and tasks for the next month.

In particular, the tasks for the month that each Party cell sets out must be based on the conclusions of the monthly joint meeting between the Commune Party Committee and the mass organizations. After each meeting of the Commune Party Committee, a conclusion notice is sent to each Party cell, and the Tien Phong Commune Party Committee stipulates that Party cells consider the conclusion notice as one of the mandatory reference documents for the Party cell to "examine" its functions and tasks to propose the content to implement in the month.

With specific methods, hand-holding, and regular monitoring, inspection, and reminders, the discipline and quality of activities of the Party cells in Tien Phong commune have been increasingly consolidated and improved. “In addition, with the above methods, it is required that Party leaders, especially the heads, really get involved, be exemplary, and pioneer in everything. Next, the Party members have gradually changed their awareness, changed their working style, become more diligent, closer to the grassroots, and especially almost eliminated the situation of coming late and leaving early” - Secretary of the Party Committee of the commune Nguyen Ngoc Nghia added.
