The rate of on-time file processing reached 98.9%, showing outstanding efficiency in applying digital technology to serve the people.

Comrade Pham Duc Toan, Deputy Head of the Emulation Committee of the Ministry of Home Affairs, spoke at the conference.

Besides the achieved results, Duc Trong Commune People's Committee also faced many difficulties such as: Inexperienced staff; increased workload, leading to work quality and progress sometimes not meeting requirements.

Notably, in the initial phase of conversion, the commune recorded 35 overdue records due to many reasons, including an unstable information technology system, and especially pressure from the sudden increase in the number of household registration records.
