Mr. Le Hai Ly - Head of the Department of Agriculture and Rural Development of Quy Chau district said: Chau Tien was chosen as a pilot commune of Quy Chau district since the beginning of the implementation of the new rural construction program, however, the commune did not meet all the criteria in the first phase, so it missed the deadline in 2015.
Since then, Quy Chau district has devoted all its efforts to investing in Chau Tien to continue perfecting the criteria. Up to now, Chau Tien has completed 19/19 NTM criteria, which have been inspected by the Provincial NTM Appraisal Council, and will reach the NTM finish line this year.
After Chau Tien, other localities such as Chau Binh, Chau Thuan... will be focused on to reach the NTM finish line, expected in 2020./.
