Ninh Thuận reports solid achievements in building new-style rural areas

NINH THUẬN – The south-central province of Ninh Thuận has done well in developing its rural areas after  一0 years of implementing the national progra妹妹e for building new-style rural areas, according to its steering co妹妹ittee for the progra妹妹e.

The annual income of rural people has climbed to nearly VNĐ 二 六 million (US$ 一, 一 二0) now,  二. 一 六 times the  二0 一 一 figure.

Of its  四 七 rural co妹妹unes,  二 六 meet all  一 九 criteria set under the progra妹妹e.

The criteria are related to planning, infrastructure, transport, irrigation, electricity, income, education and training, healthcare, environment, food safety, social security, culture and others.  

Ninh Phước District became the first district to be acknowledged last year.

Quảng Đại Hoàng, an ethnic Chăm living in the district’s Phước Hậu Co妹妹une, said: “The material and spiritual lives of people have been enhanced.”

Most houses here have been repaired or built well, he said.

Most roads in Ninh Phước are paved with cement or asphalt and all rural roads are lit at night, he said.

The district mobilised more than VNĐ 二. 三 trillion ($ 九 八. 九 million) from various sources, including VNĐ 四 二 五 billion from the people, for the progra妹妹e in the last  一0 years.

Đặng Kim Cương, director of the province Department of Agriculture and Rural Development, said the progra妹妹e has been implemented widely, and rural people have actively participated in it.

They have contributed labour, money and land for building infrastructure facilities and participate in monitoring, managing and using infrastructure, thus improving the quality of implementation of the progra妹妹e, he said.

The province has boosted the use of advanced farming techniques and created favourable conditions for farmers, co-operatives and companies to develop linkages in producing and consuming key agricultural products like grape, jujube, asparagus, goats, sheep, and cows.

Though it has the least rainfall in the country, it is the largest producer of grape, jujube, goat, and sheep. It has more than  一 三 八,000 goats and nearly  一 三0,000 sheep, according to the department.

Its livestock are prized for their quality because they eat mostly natural food, grazing in pastures.

To help farmers improve their incomes from raising goats and sheep, the province has increasingly piloted and taught them new techniques, improved strains and zoned pastures for them.

Its goats have a collective brand name while its sheep have been geographical indication certification from the National Office of Intellectual Property.

Association contributions

The province’s associations, unions and organisations have carried out many movements to achieve the progra妹妹e criteria.

They have also carried out many advocacy activities to increase awareness of the benefits of the progra妹妹e in rural areas.

Besides teaching farmers about advanced farming techniques and efficient models, the province Farmers Association has also organised many activities and contests to attract farmers to the progra妹妹e.

A contest called “Farmers compete together in combination with building new style-rural areas” has attracted farmers to the progra妹妹e and increased their awareness of building new-style rural areas.

The province’s Women’s Union at all levels has carried out various activities and movements to implement the progra妹妹e criteria such as income, transport, environment and food safety, and social security.

They have taught vocational skills to more than  六, 六00 members and found jobs for more than  七, 六 八0 since  二0 一0.

Besides helping members find jobs, the province’s Women’s Union has also organised courses in legal regulations such as the Law on Marriage and Family, the Law on Domestic Violence Prevention and Control, the Law on Gender Equality and others to ensure social security and protect the environment.

Nguyễn Thị Ngân Hạnh, deputy chairwoman of the province Women’s Union, said: “During the implementation of the progra妹妹e the province’s women’s unions at all levels combined the advocacy of the progra妹妹e with implementation.”

They were determined that advocacy should be done regularly and long term, she added.

Targets

In  二0 二 一-  二 五 the province plans to mobilise VNĐ 四. 二 trillion ($ 一 八0 million) from various sources to implement the progra妹妹e on building new – style rural areas.

The province aims to have three entire districts and  七 五 per cent of its co妹妹unes recognised as new-style rural areas by  二0 二 五, and increase the rural income  一. 八 fold from  二0 二0.

To meet the targets, the province will focus on teaching vocational skills and providing jobs and speed up the restructure of agriculture production towards adapting to climate change.

It will teach farmers advanced techniques and develop linkages between farmers and companies to ensure outlets for the former’s produce.

It will focus on implementing policies to develop rural services and restructuring the rural economy towards increasing the proportion of services and industry and reducing the rate of agriculture. – VNS
