PV:Tuong Duong is considered one of the mountainous localities that effectively implemented Project No. 01-DA/TU. Can you share the experience of implementing the project of the district Party Committee?
Comrade Lu Van May:Implementing Project 01, through a field survey, Tuong Duong District Party Committee has 3 Party cells at risk of no longer having Party cells, including the villages of Xoong Con (Tam Thai commune), Tham Tham and Huoi Man (Nhon Mai commune) due to difficulty in developing Party members (due to the characteristics of remote, extremely difficult, and ethnic minority areas).
Therefore, the district determined that in addition to the leadership of Party committees at all levels, the role of the Fatherland Front and socio-political organizations from district to commune levels is important; it is necessary to go through associations at all levels, especially the role of the Youth Union to discover positive and outstanding factors to introduce to the Party.
At the same time, through village elders and prestigious people, promote personal influence to propagate, mobilize, discover and nurture factors for Party development.

The district also focuses on promoting the sense of responsibility, regularly following and grasping the grassroots situation of the members of the district's steering committee to find solutions to remove difficulties and obstacles, clearly identifying the source creation and training of Party admission candidates at the grassroots level so that Party cells and grassroots Party committees can introduce them to attend Party admission training classes.
"The district's guiding viewpoint in implementing party member development in the district in general, and for party cells at risk of no longer having party cells, is not to increase quantity but neglect quality."
PV:So, what are the difficulties and shortcomings in implementing Project 01-DA/TU in the district, comrade?
Comrade Lu Van May:The major difficulty of the locality is the limited source of people, because the majority of young people of working age go to work far away (work outside the district, province, go to work abroad). A part of the young people do not have ideal goals, lack awareness of training and cultivating qualities, ethics...
The majority of the working masses in rural areas have limited educational attainment (only primary and secondary education level); lack of jobs, unstable life, village and hamlet infrastructure that does not meet requirements, limited access to audiovisual media, so their thinking and awareness of the Party are inadequate.
Meanwhile, the staff of Party cell committees, secretaries and deputy secretaries still have many limitations and shortcomings in terms of qualifications and capacity. Some grassroots Party organizations have not paid due attention to Party development work.

In addition, as a mountainous area, Tuong Duong faces many difficulties and complications such as: illegal migration, land disputes, environmental pollution, drug trafficking and use, labor and employment issues, human trafficking...
Socio-economic development is not commensurate, the rate of poor households is still high. The quality of grassroots Party organizations, Party cells under grassroots Party committees and the contingent of cadres and Party members, especially in remote and isolated communes, still has many limitations and inadequacies that do not meet the requirements in the current situation.
Implementing Project 01-DA/TU in Tuong Duong, 3 Party cells at risk of losing Party cells have discovered and trained 16 outstanding members and masses in Party awareness and admitted 10 comrades. Currently, 2 masses are preparing admission documents and the Party cells are continuing to train and train 4 outstanding members and masses to be included in the list of Party sympathizers, in order to create a source of Party members in the coming time.

PV:In order for Party cells to be cleared of "party members" and play the role of political core at the grassroots level, what solutions will Tuong Duong district have in the coming time?
Comrade Lu Van May:To promote the role of Party cells that have been cleared of "party members", the Standing Committee of the District Party Committee has assigned members of the Standing Committee of the District Party Committee and members of the District Party Executive Committee to attend Party cell activities of the assigned grassroots Party Committees once a month.
At the same time, the Standing Committee of the District Party Committee directed the Party Committees of communes and towns to adjust and assign Party members who are Party Committee members, cadres and civil servants of communes and towns to directly participate in activities at Party cells directly under the Party Committees in a more reasonable manner (overcoming the situation where Party Committee members and leaders are concentrated in a number of villages and hamlets where they reside while the disadvantaged villages and hamlets do not have Party Committee members and leaders to participate in activities and give instructions), in which the secretaries and deputy secretaries are assigned to participate in activities at the most particularly disadvantaged Party cells.
"Thereby, maintaining the Party cell's activities is ensured according to regulations once a month, the quality of Party cell activities is improved and enhanced in both content and form."
Every year, the Standing Committee of the District Party Committee assigns the District Party Committee's Organization Board and the District Political Training Center to organize training courses and professional development for grassroots Party committees. At the same time, implementing the plan assigned to the members of the Standing Committee of the District Party Committee and the District Party Executive Committee, the staff of the District Party Committee's Organization Board directly went to the Party cells to organize professional training courses to improve the expertise and professionalism of the Party cell secretaries, ensuring the best results in the leadership and direction of the Party cells.

Along with strengthening the grassroots political system, Tuong Duong has stepped up the implementation of major policies and projects to promote economic, cultural and social development in particularly difficult areas, especially in areas with high risk of "white party members" such as: developing more than 70 hectares of passion fruit, thereby opening up new directions of effective development in agricultural production in a number of communes and villages in mountainous and border areas, including the Party cells of Huoi Man and Tham Tham villages in Nhon Mai commune.
With the above results, the situation of people working far away and illegal migration has gradually decreased, creating conditions for young people to stay and build their homeland.
They are the source of the masses to discover, nurture, and recruit into the Party, becoming the factor ensuring the solid development of the Party organization in difficult and special areas.
PV:Thank you comrade!
