Arousing people's strength to build advanced new rural areas in Quynh Luu
(Baonghean.vn) - Implementing the National Target Program on New Rural Development, Quynh Luu district has synchronously deployed solutions to concentrate capital and effectively integrate programs and projects. In particular, resource mobilization and socialization have achieved important results.
Good resource mobilization
Coming to Quynh Thach - an advanced rural commune of Quynh Luu district, the first impression when setting foot in this countryside is the widened, flat concrete roads, connecting from one village to another; both sides of the road are planted with flowers and ornamental plants, ensuring the criteria of light, green, clean and beautiful.
Mr. Nguyen Sy Luc - Chairman of Quynh Thach Commune People's Committee, said: "The locality determines that the sooner the advanced NTM target is reached, the sooner the people will benefit. Therefore, the Party Committee and the commune government have proposed fundamental solutions to accelerate the progress of implementing the criteria, including mobilizing social resources to invest in building infrastructure and standard works. After only 2 years (from 2020 - 2022), the commune has mobilized over 278 billion VND to invest in building infrastructure; of which people themselves invested in building and renovating houses, developing production and business over 250 billion VND".
During the process of building advanced NTM in Quynh Thach commune, the strength of solidarity and consensus from the people has spread widely. The commune has mobilized nearly 7 billion VND in contributions from the people to build a lighting system and embankment, widen roadsides, and plant ornamental flowers and trees. Up to now, 100% of the village roads in the commune have been installed with lighting systems, contributing to ensuring traffic safety and security and order in the locality. With the high determination of the entire political system and the people, at the end of 2022, Quynh Thach commune was recognized by the People's Committee of Nghe An province as having reached the advanced NTM finish line.
