Successfully building new rural areas

Coming to Quynh Vinh commune these days, the time of the ceremony to announce and receive the Certificate of recognition of meeting the new rural standards of the commune is also the National Great Unity Day, so many village roads and alleys, from the central area to the end of the commune, are cleaned and hung with new flags, so they are very airy, spacious and clean.

Comrade Vu Le Tin - Vice Chairman of the Commune People's Committee excitedly said: Quynh Vinh Commune has achieved the results and appearance it has today thanks to the efforts and solidarity of the entire political system and the joint efforts and contributions of all classes of people. Along with that is the effective support from superiors from combined capital sources, the commune has reached the NTM finish line.on time and worth it.

The reason we have to emphasize the above efforts is because if anyone has been to Quynh Vinh five or seven years ago, they will see that the efforts and achievements today are not accidental.

In 2015, Quynh Vinh commune had just started building the new rural area, so compared to many other localities, Quynh Vinh commune not only had a low starting point but also started slowly; specifically, with a starting point of only 9/19 criteria, the entire internal road system of the commune with over 90 km, most of which are narrow dirt roads, the infrastructure of 6/6 schools and clinics have degraded, most of the cultural houses in villages and hamlets are in a dilapidated state, so it needs a lot of investment resources. Therefore, in the process of building the new rural area, Quynh Vinh commune not only had to overcome difficulties, but also had to make efforts to unite to mobilize the people's strength.

The difference, creating a new momentum in the new phase of NTM construction is the very responsible participation of the people, thereby creating a new competitive momentum, joining hands to build NTM. There are initial criteria that seem very difficult such as building roads and schools, but thanks to the people's consensus, voluntary land donation and only receiving 1/4 of the compensation, the commune implemented quite smoothly. The compensation level is nearly 6 billion VND but the commune only had to pay 1.4 billion VND.

Thanks to that consensus, in a short time, along with the movement to merge Quynh Vinh A and Quynh Vinh C Primary Schools into 1 Quynh Vinh A Primary School, Quynh Vinh commune invested more than 52 billion VND to build 36 new classrooms and 12 functional rooms; at the same time, the commune also mobilized more than 60 billion VND, including a record amount of nearly 3,000 tons of cement to renew over 90 km of inter-village and intra-village roads; invested 3.7 billion VND to build a new medical station...

Aiming for civilized urban standards

The encouraging thing is that because the task of building a new rural area has only a starting point and no ending point, right after completing 19/19 new rural criteria and reaching the standards, Quynh Vinh commune continued to consolidate and improve the quality of the criteria. For the criteria that have been achieved but the commune does not really see as sustainable, such as the area of ​​the cultural house campus of villages and schools, the commune continued to upgrade; at the same time, it is requested that the town continue to direct and guide on planning so that the commune can prepare the time and resources to build and complete.
Since the beginning of the traffic movement in hamlet 13, Quynh Vinh commune has aroused the movement in 22 hamlets (now there are 15 hamlets). Present at hamlet 10, Party cell secretary Le Dang Thuat said: The hamlet has 240 households, but has mobilized people to build over 2.5 km of internal hamlet roads and about 1,000m of irrigation canals, people donated more than 800 m² land, so up to now, the hamlet has not only built all the roads with concrete but also met the standard in width when the smallest road is from 3-6m. Thanks to the mobilization, even after the commune met the standard, the hamlet did not stop but continued to mobilize the people, calling on children far from home to support nearly 100 million VND more to make 85 electric lamp posts, each pole costs 2 million VND for lighting.

Quynh Vinh is competing to strive not only to improve the quality of the achieved NTM criteria, but also to gradually implement them in the direction of becoming a civilized, clean and beautiful urban area. Currently, Quynh Vinh commune is a rural area, but in the long term, with the advantage of geographical location as the starting point of Highway 36, connecting National Highway 1 from the intersection of Hoang Mai town to Thai Hoa town, with railway and National Highway 1A running through; the area also has a large project such as Hoang Mai Cement, the New Urban Area project of Tan Thang Cement Company, Vinatex Hoang Mai Garment Company... so Quynh Vinh will soon become an urban area.

Therefore, the requirement for planning and landscape management in accordance with urban civilization criteria right now is important and necessary. To be proactive, the commune has gradually mobilized and encouraged people of all walks of life to expand their businesses, shift the economic structure and labor structure towards developing service industries; at the same time, orienting to consolidate and build new rural criteria that must be suitable for the conditions of the young urban area in the future.

Immediately after the ceremony to receive the Certificate of recognition of meeting the new rural standards, the commune will mobilize all people to continue to join hands in building and consolidating the new rural criteria in the direction of urban civilization standards. In that process, the commune's political system will unite to maintain its exemplary leading role, arousing the strength of the great solidarity bloc of the people in the common task, but also hoping for timely support and encouragement from the province and the town so that the commune can complete the set goals.
