For the work, for the people of those who 'carry prison and'

(Baonghean) - With the responsibility, pioneering spirit of a party member and dedication to the community, many party cell secretaries are truly the locomotives, the 'souls' in building strong party cells, trusted, respected and loved by the people.

Coming to Tan Tien hamlet, Hung Tien commune (Nam Dan), when mentioning Party cell secretary Nguyen Van Canh, all the commune cadres and people inside and outside the hamlet expressed their trust and respect. After decades of service in the army, he retired and returned to his hometown with his family; then, with the trust and recommendation of the organization, he participated in the Party Committee for 2 terms, as the head of the Party cell, he did creative work to build the hamlet and village.

That was in 2013. Having just taken the position of Party Cell Secretary for a while, implementing the National Target Program on New Rural Construction, to build a cultural house for the hamlet was a very difficult problem in Tan Tien. Because people's lives mainly depend on agriculture, there are many things to worry about, so promoting people's strength must be done in a new and creative way. After many sleepless nights, thinking, Mr. Canh discussed with the Party Committee and the Party Cell to launch a movement "each household raises 10 chickens to build a cultural house". The movement was launched in early 2013 and completed by the end of the year, each household happily contributed 1.3 million VND from the money from selling chickens to build the cultural house.

The story sounds brief. But to do so, Mr. Canh had to go to mobilize and guide each household to build a chicken coop to raise chicks and then fence off the garden for easy care. Tan Tien hamlet is large, so he chose one household from each residential area to build a chicken coop to guide as a model, then expand it. There were families in difficult circumstances, Mr. Canh brought all the materials and used his own efforts to build and give away chicken coops. "Normally, people earn 10 dong, which is just enough to spend and take care of life. Therefore, we have to think of a way to help people earn 12 dong, from which there is a source to contribute to building the village", Party cell secretary Nguyen Van Canh shared the simple philosophy in his way of mobilizing people's strength.

Now, Tan Tien hamlet has a clear village road, 101 out of 103 households have concrete roads all the way to the gate, only one family has just separated and built their own house so they have not had time to build a concrete road. At night, the village road is bright with a street light system installed on an automatic relay.

Talking about Party Cell Secretary Nguyen Van Canh, Party Committee Secretary of Hung Tien Commune Nguyen Dinh Viet also admired his far-sighted vision in developing Party members and building a team of successor cadres in villages and hamlets. During 2 terms, the Party Cell of Tan Tien Hamlet has admitted 7 Party members, many young cadres, and female cadres who have now grown up to become delegates of the Commune People's Council and cadres of the Women's Union. With Mr. Canh's efforts, there are people nearly 40, 50 years old who have also applied to join the Party.

Meeting and exchanging, the Party Secretary who has passed the age of 50 shared: "We also have to go to each person's house, meet each person in person to discuss and talk with them, so that they can see that joining the Party is not only to contribute to the neighborhood, village, and society but also a way for them to grow up." Asked, when do you plan to retire from the neighborhood and village work? Mr. Canh said: "I am now training and developing the next generation of cadres, and have also found the factors for the positions of secretary and village chief. Only then will I be able to rest in peace."

In Hieu Thanh hamlet, Tay Hieu commune, Thai Hoa town, Party cell secretary Nguyen Huu Ngo is known as a decisive, straightforward person who dares to think, dares to do and has many good and creative ways to work for the common cause. As Party cell secretary, Mr. Ngo discussed with the Party cell committee, Party cell and people to contribute 100,000 VND per person each year to the hamlet's common fund. The hamlet has 94 households/354 people, excluding poor households and policy households, the fund has about 32 million VND each year.

Since then, many works of Hieu Thanh hamlet have been built such as volleyball court, badminton court built on the pond which was leveled very elaborately. When building the sports playground, Mr. Ngo also pioneered and set an example by contributing stone benches to place in the yard. Now in the playground of Hieu Thanh hamlet, there are 34 benches and 6 tables.

Every year, Party Secretary Nguyen Huu Ngo also discussed the construction of a lighting system in the village and a loudspeaker. In particular, he also pioneered the movement to build a fund for encouraging learning and a fund for the elderly. Every time the traditional New Year comes, his village organizes a Tet for encouraging learning and a longevity celebration for the elderly. Through that, he called for more support and contributions from the people, including local people and many people who work far away, creating a truly exciting movement that has now spread to the whole Tay Hieu commune.

Recently, Hieu Thanh was one of two hamlets chosen by Tay Hieu commune as a model of a green - clean - beautiful hamlet with items such as planting flowers along both sides of the road, organizing sanitation on weekends. Party cell secretary Nguyen Huu Ngo mobilized people to clear the ditches along both sides of the road, setting an example by making concrete ditches in front of the road passing through the family for people to follow. He also planted beds of purple Aster flowers from the hamlet's entrance gate to create a landscape. In the hamlet's common fish pond area, he organized concrete embankments, planted flowers and will soon build railings attached to the cultural house campus, the adjacent sports field to create a common space for the whole community that is truly harmonious and green.

Talking about Party Cell Secretary Nguyen Huu Ngo of Hieu Thanh Party Cell, Permanent Deputy Secretary of Tay Hieu Commune Party Committee Duong Dinh Duong highly appreciated Mr. Ngo's role, dynamism, determination, daring to do and taking responsibility in his work.

As for Mr. Ngo, he believes that in the process of implementing any work, there are favorable and opposing opinions, so there is also pressure. Therefore, it is necessary to grasp and use the Party's principles and leadership methods. That is, everything must be discussed with the Party cell, Party members of agencies and units residing in the area and discussed with the people to create consensus and also demonstrate the leadership role of the Party cell. "The leader and Party members in the Party cell themselves must be pioneers and exemplary in their work and daily lifestyle.

In particular, we must be frank in self-criticism and criticism so that we and our comrades can progress, without being afraid of being respectful or avoiding confrontation. Because the ultimate goal is work efficiency that brings common benefits to the community," Mr. Ngo confided.

Nghe An Provincial Party Committee has 29 Party Committees directly under the Provincial Party Committee with 21 Party Committees of districts, cities and towns and 8 directly under the Provincial Party Committee; with about 185,696 Party members, 1,617 grassroots Party organizations, 10,120 directly under the Provincial Party Committee. The typical Party cell secretaries mentioned above are just two of the total of more than 10,000 Party cell secretaries in the whole province who are making a significant contribution to building the political system at the grassroots level, building a strong Party as Uncle Ho said: "A strong Party is due to good Party cells, good Party cells are due to good Party members". They play a key role, being the locomotive in all movements and work in the blocks, hamlets and villages.

The model of raising chickens to build a cultural house by Party Secretary Nguyen Van Canh, or the sports playground and flower beds by Party Secretary Nguyen Huu Ngo... are successful thanks to the efforts and consensus of the collective, the common achievements of the whole community, but behind that is the strong mark of dedicated Party cell secretaries, demonstrating the creative thinking, changing the way of doing things, and the leadership style of each comrade.

These are also actions that need to be expanded and spread, especially in the current period of implementing the Resolution of the 4th Conference of the Party Central Committee (12th tenure) on strengthening Party building and rectification; preventing and repelling the degradation of political ideology, ethics, lifestyle, and manifestations of "self-evolution" and "self-transformation" within the Party.

Changing working methods is not something lofty, but it is from each simple, small task that each cadre and party member has daily meaning associated with their duties and tasks... From there, building each party cell to truly be a strong political nucleus at the grassroots level, contributing to building a strong and comprehensive upper-level Party Committee.
