Notably, Dong Nai has built its own new-style rural standards containing 54 criteria compared to the national set of 39 criteria.
The national new-style rural area programme was launched by the Government in 2010, with criteria covering building infrastructure, improving production capacity, constructing public works, protecting landscapes and the environment, and promoting local traditions and cultural identities, among others.
