Starting the new rural area construction in 2012 with only 5 criteria, after more than 7 years of implementation, Chau Tien commune has reached the NTM finish line with all 19/19 criteria. To achieve the above results, in addition to the active support from the district and province's policies and mechanisms, the Party Committee and people of Chau Tien commune have made efforts and had creative ways of doing things.

In the past time, the commune mobilized about 135 billion VND, of which 75 billion VND was directly invested in the New Rural Program and created conditions for people to borrow over 60 billion VND in credit to develop production models and industries.

Thanks to that, the poverty rate decreased rapidly from 57% in 2012 to about 4.33% in 2018 and the average income per capita increased from 8 million to 33 million VND in 2018; over 300 makeshift houses for poor households were eliminated and solidified, and models of seedlings and craft villages were gradually built to create jobs for people.

Chau Tien currently not only has synchronous essential infrastructure, basically meeting the essential needs of the people, but also aims to be a community tourism destination with rich potential and strong identity.
