Attending the ceremony were comrade Hoang Nghia Hieu - Member of the Provincial Party Committee, Director of the Department of Agriculture and Rural Development of Nghe An province; representatives of the Provincial New Rural Area Coordination Office and leaders of Tan Ky district.

Tan Xuan commune has a majority of people belonging to the Tho ethnic group. Previously, the whole commune had 4/7 hamlets and villages with special difficulties; the average income per capita was only about 10 million VND/year.

However, thanks to knowing how to effectively integrate and utilize investment resources and skillfully promote mass mobilization work to mobilize people's strength, after more than 8 years of implementing the new rural construction program, Tan Xuan has mobilized 222.6 billion VND to fulfill the criteria.

Although it is a purely agricultural commune, local people have actively and voluntarily contributed 129.4 billion VND to build new rural areas.

In recent times, along with investment in upgrading infrastructure to serve production such as: promoting land conversion to bring mechanization into agricultural production and irrigation systems; the commune has mobilized people to expand production sectors.

Thanks to that, the lives of Tan Xuan people are increasingly improved, with an average annual income of over 60 billion VND from labor export and over 40 billion VND from other industries. In 2018, the average income of local people reached 31.27 million VND/person; the poverty rate decreased to 3%.

In particular, the education and health sector is one of the difficult criteria of the locality, prioritized for investment, contributing to bringing the commune to the finish line quite early. In 2015, Tan Xuan commune achieved the national standard on health and 3/3 schools achieved the national standard; the cultural institutions of the commune and hamlets met the standards according to regulations.

Speaking at the ceremony, comrade Hoang Nghia Hieu - Director of Nghe An Department of Agriculture and Rural Development, Chief of the New Rural Coordination Office acknowledged and highly appreciated the efforts of the Party Committee, government and people of Tan Xuan to successfully implement the goal of building a new rural area.
