The strength of solidarity from each village

Community Engagement

Na Lau village, Chau Ly commune (Quy Hop) was established in 2020, on the basis of merging Na Lan and Bu Lau villages. For the past 3 years, 141 households of Thai and Kinh ethnic groups in the village have built a united and unified bloc, focusing on socio-economic development and improving their lives.

The people of Na Lau village have many households opening effective business kiosks; together contributing labor, money, and land to expand and concrete the entire internal traffic system. The village has more than 35 cars of all kinds, on average 1 car for every 4 households.

Mr. Truong Minh Son - Head of the Front Work Committee of Na Lau village excitedly shared: “Since the merger of the two villages, the Thai and Kinh people have always united to help each other in economic development and harmonious community life. All activities of the village have the cooperation of the people. The work of encouraging education is of great concern. The village has no one dropping out of school and no one has violated social evils…”.
To achieve that result, in recent years, the team of Party committee officials, Management Board, Front Work Committee and organizations in Na Lau village have made efforts to propagate and mobilize people to raise awareness and share the will for the development of the village.

“In each movement, the cadres of Na Lau village are always the pioneers, united, and set an example in implementation. From there, each villager feels the responsibility to join hands to act. Na Lau village is highly appreciated by the Party Committee, the government, and the organizations of the commune, and is a typical example for replicating the emulation movement to develop the economy and build new rural areas in other villages in the commune,” added Comrade Cao Duy Thai - Secretary of the Chau Ly Commune Party Committee.

For the people in Thuy Chung village, Thanh Thuy border commune (Thanh Chuong), the people have united to create "miracles". That is, 280 households of the village donated more than 1.5 billion VND to build new rural areas. Many households also donated land, moved trees, and fences to open wide and beautiful roads. The village cultural house alone was invested in construction with more than 1.8 billion VND from socialized sources along with support from budgets at all levels. Notably, Thuy Chung village is a new village established in 2019, from the merger of hamlets 7, 8, part of hamlet 5 and the old Thi Tu village of Thanh Thuy commune.
According to comrade Nguyen Vinh Cuong - Secretary of Thuy Chung village Party cell, that result is the strength of solidarity and action of the Party cell, executive committee, organizations, unions and people in the village. Although merging from many old hamlets, right from the beginning, Thuy Chung hamlet people have united, competed to change the structure of crops and livestock, promote forest economy, garden and hill; associated with the development of service economy and trade. When the lives of households improve, people actively contribute to building a more prosperous homeland".

According to statistics from the Provincial Fatherland Front, in 2023, local people donated over 97,132 square meters of land, contributed over 536 billion VND and more than 450,939 working days to build new rural areas and civilized urban areas.

Nghe An province currently has 3,799 blocks, hamlets, villages and hamlets. On that basis, nearly 63,000 self-managed residential groups have been established, operating on the principles of promoting the spirit of solidarity, mutual love and affection, promoting democracy, self-management, self-awareness and voluntariness of households, in accordance with the provisions of law, village conventions and regulations of villages, communes and residential groups.

All self-governing residential groups join hands to carry out the movement "All people unite to build new rural areas and civilized urban areas"; promote the movement "All people protect national security in the new situation"; carry out emulation movements to develop the economy, eliminate hunger, reduce poverty, build cultural life, and build a strong grassroots political system.
