Reporter: Dear comrade, with our efforts, in 2024 Yen Thanh district is determined to reach the advanced new rural area goal, 1 year ahead of schedule. Could you tell us about the results achieved?
Comrade Le Thi Hoai Chung:After the impressive achievement of 100% of communes meeting new rural standards in the period of 2010 - 2020, from 2020 up to now, Yen Thanh district continues to focus on implementing the goal of building advanced new rural areas, model new rural areas with the goal of building synchronous and modern rural socio-economic infrastructure, rich in traditional cultural identity, making the countryside a livable place.
Up to now, the implementation of the Project "Building Yen Thanh district to meet advanced new rural standards by 2025 and orientation to build a model new rural district by 2030" has achieved remarkable results.
Specifically: Up to now, for communes meeting advanced new rural standards, Yen Thanh district has been approved by the Provincial People's Committee, recognizing 21/38 communes meeting the standards according to the set of criteria for communes meeting advanced new rural standards for the period 2021-2025, reaching a rate of 55.26%. Compared to the whole Nghe An province, Yen Thanh district has reached 21/83 advanced new rural communes, accounting for 25.3% of the whole province.
Regarding model new rural communes: Yen Thanh district has achieved 3/38 communes meeting the standards according to the set of criteria for model new rural communes in the period of 2021-2025. Compared to the whole province, it has achieved 3/12 model new rural communes, accounting for 25% of the whole province. The whole district has 11 communes meeting 19 criteria, reaching a rate of 28.95%; 10 communes meeting 16-18 criteria, reaching a rate of 26.32%; 10 communes meeting 10-15 criteria, reaching a rate of 26.32%; and 7 communes meeting 7-9 criteria, reaching a rate of 18.42%.
Thus, with the goal of building an advanced new rural commune, the district has surpassed 2 communes to meet the advanced new rural standards compared to the goal and completed 2 years ahead of the project's goal. Building a model new rural commune has achieved and completed 2 years ahead of the project's goal. According to the progress of building advanced new rural areas in the district, it is expected that by the end of 2024, the district will complete this goal.
In addition to mobilizing all social resources in new rural construction, the district and commune levels have focused on issuing support mechanisms to create the premise for building advanced and model new rural areas at the commune level such as: Building a synchronous traffic and infrastructure system. In 2024, the district has a mechanism and policy to provide 7,300 tons of cement to communes registered to reach the advanced and model new rural area finish line.
Built and upgraded 8 reservoirs, solidified 21 km of canals, upgraded dozens of km of inter-commune roads. Coordinated with businesses to create jobs for over 5,450 workers. Regarding production organization, 46 organic rice production models have been built, with 34 products recognized as OCOP. Average income per capita reached 64.5 million VND/year.
To complete the construction of advanced new rural areas, from 2023 to now, Yen Thanh district has mobilized a total resource of more than thousands of billions of VND, of which people voluntarily contributed more than 17.95%. Capital sources are strictly managed, for the right purposes, ensuring efficiency, in which priority is given to investment in developing economic and social infrastructure works associated with production and people's lives.
To achieve the above results, recently, the Standing Committee of the District Party Committee assigned comrades in the Executive Committee, the Standing Committee, in charge of key clusters to guide communes in developing plans and roadmaps. Review, evaluate, and compare the results of implementing criteria and targets for building advanced new rural areas and model new rural areas according to regulations.

However, there are still difficulties in environmental issues, such as solid waste treatment and clean water for the people. Currently, the district has not planned to build a waste treatment plant.
