Tuyen Quang: six more communes recognised as new style rural area
Over the past five years, the province has mobilised over 7.25 trillion VND (319.2 million USD) from different resources for its new-style rural area building.
During the period, Tuyen Quang built 2,700km of concrete roads and
over 140 irrigation works along with 84km of canals to facilitate
socio-economic development.
The province upgraded 70 transformer stations and hundreds of
kilometres of power transmission lines.
In addition, 700 classrooms, over 200 cultural houses and 150
sport grounds have been built to improve living conditions of local people.
The province has completed universalisation of pre-school
education for five-year-old children.
In 2017, Tuyen Quang will prioritise investment in raising income
for rural residents by restructuring agricultural production towards enhancing
added value and sustainable development.
The province will implement policies to assist the commercial
production of several plants and animals, and encourage linkages between farmers
and businesses.
Tuyen Quang strives to have additional seven communes recognised
as new-style rural area next year.
The national programme on building new-style rural areas,
initiated by the Government in 2010, includes 19 criteria on socio-economic
development, politics, and defence, aiming to boost rural regions of Vietnam.
The criteria include infrastructure development, production capacity
improvement, environmental protection and cultural value promotion.-VNA
