Nghia Dong commune is 20km from Tan Ky town center, used to be a disadvantaged commune because it was purely agricultural, growing rice with low productivity. But now the commune is the first locality in Tan Ky district to reach the new rural finish line. After more than 3 years of implementation, along with the determination of the entire political system, the consensus and support of the people, the face of Nghia Dong countryside has changed positively.

From attracting capital from the Central, provincial and district levels, together with the source of irrigation fee compensation and people's contributions, investments have been made to upgrade pumping stations in the area such as: Vuc Rao pumping station under the Mong village project and the 8/3 dam; Quoc Va dam. The irrigation system from the main pumping station with the level 1, 2 and 3 canal system has been solidified with concrete, basically meeting the requirements of production and people's lives, ensuring proactive irrigation. All 15 hamlets have planned and built cultural houses and hamlet sports areas that meet the standards set by the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism. 100% of hamlets have a cultural house area of 500m2 or more; 90% of hamlets have a sports area of 1,500m2 or more... Along with mobilizing internal resources, the commune also maximizes investment capital, calling on successful children who are working far from home to contribute to building their homeland.
