At the conference

According to the report at the conference, in the first 6 months of the year, the National Target Program on New Rural Areas Construction has been implemented by provinces, departments, branches and localities and achieved a lot of good results. In the whole province, there are five more residential areas up to the standard of the model residential area; the total mobilized capital for the construction of new rural areas in the province has reached over 4.7 trillion VND; the whole province has repaired, upgraded and renewed over 193km of roads; built seven village cultural houses; established 11 new agricultural cooperatives…

However, the implementation of the National Target Program on New Rural Areas Construction still faces such difficulties as: the set of criteria for new rural areas, newly advanced rural areas, the regulations on newly model rural communes in the 2021-2025 period have been issued late, and there are a lot of new points in the contents and regulations  as compared to the old set of criteria, the localities must re-evaluate the current situation, review and adjust the plan, which should affect the implementation progress; the investment capital support from the central to the local is allocated slowly; the quality of works and projects after meeting the standards of new rural areas development in some localities shows signs of deterioration...

In 2022, the whole province strives to have 10 to 15 more communes reaching newly advanced rural standards; 8 to 10 communes meeting the standard of newly model rural areas; 15 to 20 residential areas meeting the standard of newly model residential areas. To achieve this goal, in the last months of the year, the province focuses on carrying out such key solutions as: regularly strengthening the Steering Committees at all levels to ensure the smooth and effective leadership and direction; continuing to promote propaganda work; accelerating the restructuring of the agricultural sector; effectively carrying out the scheme on the auction of land use rights to create capital for the construction of newly advanced rural areas and newly model rural areas in the 2021-2025 period; continuing to deploy and replicate the classification and treatment of organic waste at source...

At the conference, the delegates focused on discussing the difficulties and limitations in the construction of new rural areas, newly advanced rural areas, newly model rural areas and giving the recommendations and solutions to perform the construction of new rural areas in the coming time.

Speaking at the conference, Vice Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee Nguyen Hung Nam suggested that branches and localities focus on promoting the performance of the goals in building new rural areas, not running after achievements. The relevant departments and branches have not yet issued a document guiding the implementation of the criteria for new rural areas development, newly advanced rural areas, and newly model rural areas in the 2021-2025 period. Localities urgently review and evaluate the implementation of new rural areas criteria in the first 6 months of the year, the orientations, solutions and tasks in the last months of the year; summarize the difficulties and obstacles in the implementation process, and send a written report to the Provincial Coordination Office on New Rural Development for the Steering Committee to grasp the situation. The Provincial Coordination Office on New Rural Development regularly inspects and supervises the implementation of new rural areas construction in localities. In addition, it is necessary to strengthen the propaganda on building new rural areas, newly advanced rural areas, and newly model rural areas.
