(Baonghean.vn) - Overcoming many difficulties, the Party Committee and government, the Fatherland Front, and socio-political organizations in Dien Chau have focused on propaganda and implemented many solutions, creating a common consensus to develop the new rural construction movement widely throughout the district.
Get in on the action
Right from the beginning of the implementation, the District Steering Committee for New Rural Construction selected 3 communes: Dien Thap, Dien Hong, Dien Phong as pilot communes for new rural construction in the 2011-2015 period.
In Dien Hong commune, initially some inexperienced commune government officials were confused in implementation, but with a cautious approach, Dien Hong reached the finish line early. The criteria were highly appreciated for their quality as well as sustainability...
With the motto of people knowing, people doing, people checking and supervising, Dien Hong promoted internal resources, mobilized local budgets, contributions from people and businesses, sought support from superiors, launched patriotic emulation movements, built new rural areas; including the movement of donating land and construction works for the transportation system.
The completion of the new rural area of 3 pilot communes as planned with changes in life, the appearance of the countryside is prosperous and spacious, creating a strong spreading effect in the localities. As a result, by the end of 2015, the district had 13 communes recognized as new rural areas. From the results of the implementation in 13 communes, the Steering Committee for New Rural Area Construction of the district organized to draw experience in the direction work.
In the mountainous commune of Dien Lam, constructionnew ruralThis can be considered a miracle. From a purely agricultural commune with one of the most difficult conditions in the district, Dien Lam rose strongly to reach the finish line in 2016 and by 2021 was one of the first two communes in Dien Chau district to achieve the status of an advanced new rural commune.
With the motto, easy to do first, difficult to do later. Focus on doing a good job of propaganda so that people, cadres, and party members can raise awareness and responsibility. In the coming time, we will continue to improve the content and criteria in building new rural areas to build Dien Lam commune into a model new rural commune.
There are many touching stories in mobilizing people to participate in building new rural areas in Dien Chau that have been recorded. For example, donating and contributing land to build roads and public works seems not easy in this time of "every inch of land is gold" but has been responded by many people in the countryside.
The family of parishioner Chu Van Lam, Trung Thanh hamlet, Dien Hong commune is a typical example. The house is located next to the inter-village road. According to the local new rural construction planning, the road will pass through Mr. Lam's family garden. Many crops and lands are affected, but Mr. Lam is willing to sacrifice personal interests to ensure the expansion of a more open traffic route, serving the interests of the community.
Innovation to build sustainable new countryside

Along with that, is the application of technology, production cooperation, small items, from rustic countryside become specialties sought by many people, many products receive many high awards organized by central ministries and branches.
From the support sources for new rural construction as well as the Farmers Support Fund, Dien Chau has invested in 3 successful floating shrimp farming models. Mr. Nguyen Viet Thang, owner of a shrimp pond in Dien Trung commune, said that traditional shrimp farming only reached 10 tons/ha, but now applying technology has increased it to 60 tons/ha, bringing in billions of dong in income each year.
Only 10 years ago, the majority of Dien Chau farmers' families had a dream of earning 100 million VND/year, now many households have achieved it. Through the implementation of new rural construction, in Dien Chau, villages have no more poor households, the number of households with good production and business is increasing day by day, incomes from several hundred million to billions of VND are not rare.
