Nghia Hong (Nghia Dan)

As one of the communes located far from the district center, with life mainly based on agriculture, Nghia Hong still faces many difficulties, especially in transportation. Seeing those difficulties and correctly understanding the commune's policy, in recent times, Nghia Hong people have voluntarily contributed money to build cultural houses, football fields; donated land, contributed working days to build roads...

Hong Duc Hamlet is one of the leading units in the movement of donating land for road construction in the commune. Households whose roads pass through have volunteered to donate 3,000 square meters of land for the road. The policy was proposed in early December 2011 and was highly unanimous among the people in a short time. In just 2 days, 83 households and the hamlet's machinery cleared trees, leveled the road, and opened a wide road. Mr. Nguyen Viet Ky - one of the hamlet's land donors excitedly said: "This Tet, having a wide road makes me feel excited. The newly opened road helps people save a lot of money on gas every day because without this road, people have to go in circles, suffering, especially when it rains."

As for Hong Tho hamlet, the hamlet executive committee has paid attention to building spiritual life with practical and effective policies. To help children in the hamlet have a playground to practice physical exercises and sports, people have contributed 12 million VND to buy cement, sand, gravel, etc. In addition, people also support working days, those who know how to build work as workers, those who do not know how to build work as construction workers, etc. Mr. Nguyen Dinh Thai - Chairman of the Commune People's Committee said: As one of the 5 communes assigned to be a pilot in the new rural construction program of Nghia Dan district, to effectively implement the new rural construction program, the commune focuses on mobilizing internal resources from the people. From the movement of donating land to open roads and contributing money to build cultural houses and cultural works of the people, the commune continues to propagate and replicate models to promote the construction of new rural areas, fundamentally changing the face of the commune.

Quy Chau

In mountainous areas, to contribute to building new rural areas, the district has promoted the role of mass mobilization work.

Currently, Quy Chau has 142/142 blocks and villages that have established grassroots mass mobilization blocks and built 271 models of skillful mass mobilization of various kinds. The activities of these models are very diverse, associated with various areas of social life, such as: Mobilizing people to introduce high-yield varieties of plants and animals into intensive farming, building cultural villages and cultural families, building education promotion funds, mobilizing people to donate land... Typical of these movements is Ke Bang village, Chau Hanh commune. The whole village has more than 100 households, 457 people, people's lives still face many difficulties and mainly agricultural production. However, when the district People's Committee had a policy to build a road to the small industrial park of Tan Lac town, people here voluntarily donated land for the project. Among them, the person who donated the most land was Ms. Lang Thi Ly's family with over 30 square meters of land and demolished the entire 30 meter long fence along with some of the family's fruit trees.

In 2011, the district had 5,914 families achieving the title of Cultural Family, 95/142 villages achieving the title of Cultural Village, 60% of agencies and offices achieving the title of Cultural Unit. In the coming time, Quy Chau district will continue to innovate and improve the quality of Mass Mobilization work of the political system, linking Mass Mobilization with new rural construction, striving for the number of cultural families to reach 65%, cultural villages to reach 70%, and cultural agencies and offices to reach 90%, contributing to building an increasingly prosperous and civilized homeland.

Nghi Hung (Nghi Loc)

Up to now, Nghi Hung Party Committee and people have basically completed 3/19 criteria for new rural construction. Those are the criteria of electricity grid, schools and medical stations. In 2011 alone, the commune invested nearly 20 billion VND to build 3km of roads, Hung Dong Secondary School and the office of the Commune People's Committee. To have the construction fund, the commune government has implemented a minimum savings of 10% of the budget, cutting unnecessary expenses to focus on investing in the construction of essential construction items. There are nearly 1 billion VND and thousands of square meters of land to build the commune's welfare works.

Identifying the development of craft villages as a "highlight" in the local new rural construction program, the commune government has invested nearly 4 billion VND to build roads to serve the craft villages. The broom products of 140 households in the two craft villages Khe Cu and Xuan Son are not only consumed in the province but also exported to neighboring provinces such as Ha Tinh, Quang Binh... Up to now, the two craft villages Khe Cu and Xuan Son of Nghi Hung have been recognized as craft villages by the Provincial People's Committee. This is the premise and motivation for the people of Nghi Hung craft village to overcome immediate difficulties, continue to maintain and develop the craft village in the coming time.

Along with investing in infrastructure construction, Nghi Hung also actively mobilized people to participate in agricultural production development projects supported by the State. Ineffective agricultural production areas were mobilized by the commune government to consolidate land to build high-value livestock farms. Up to now, the whole commune has nearly 20 farms with nearly 7,000 cattle and nearly 55,000 poultry.
