National Target Program 1719 contributes to bringing Phu My to new rural standards

Rural roads in Phu My commune are built spaciously and cleanly, with the model "Lighting up the countryside roads" and solar energy lighting system contributing to the improvement of Phu My hamlet's appearance.

Roads and alleys are invested in concrete, airy, clean; poor households are supported with housing, job conversion... contributing to improving the material and spiritual life of Khmer people in Phu My. That result is also from the implementation of projects under the National Target Program on socio -economic development in ethnic minority and mountainous areas for the period 2021 - 2030 (National Target Program 1719).

From 2022 to present, Phu My commune has disbursed housing support to 65 households, job conversion support to 29 households and distributed domestic water support to 29 households (VND 3 million each). Also from the capital of the National Target Program 1719, the commune has built 2 rural traffic works with a total investment capital of more than VND 3.6 billion.

Mr. Thach Kim Choang's family is one of the poor households in Dai Ui hamlet, Phu My commune, which was considered by the local authorities for support of 44 million VND to build a house; 10 million VND from the career conversion support program. Mr. Choang excitedly said: "My family is a poor household, and I am very happy to receive support from the State and local authorities to build a new, spacious house. With the career conversion support, I bought a motorbike to use as a means of transportation to work, and I earn a few hundred thousand VND a day. My family can work with peace of mind to raise our children who are studying at university."

Lieu Khenl from Bung Coc hamlet, Phu My commune was excited to receive housing support and a career change. Lieu Khenl said: “My main job is a construction worker, so I often have to rent tools for work. Thanks to the local support for a mortar mixer, I saved money on renting tools, thereby increasing my income. In addition, because my family is poor, the local government supported me with 44 million VND, so I worked hard to build a more spacious house for my family. This is the concern of the Party and State for ethnic minorities, and at the same time is a great source of encouragement for me and my family.”

From preferential loans from the Policy Bank, Mr. Ly Ro Thi in Dai Ui hamlet, Phu My commune (My Tu district) implemented a dairy cow farming model that has helped his family earn a fairly high income.

Mr. Vo Van Vu, Chairman of Phu My Commune People's Committee said: "The National Target Program 1719 has been and is being implemented, which is really an important driving force in promoting the development of all fields. Up to now, the project of diversifying livelihoods, developing poverty reduction models, with a total capital of 440 million VND, has been implemented for 11 households; the project of developing production, improving nutrition and developing production, with a total capital of 605 million VND, has been implemented for 15 households; the project of supporting production development according to the value chain, with a total capital of more than 1 billion VND, has been implemented for 26 households."

In recent times, Phu My has focused on investing in building essential infrastructure, mobilizing resources, integrating investment capital sources to build, upgrade rural traffic systems, irrigation works, and develop production... Thanks to that, the rural appearance in the disadvantaged commune has been increasingly improved. Up to now, over 13km of commune and inter-commune roads have been concreted, all hamlet and inter-hamlet roads have been hardened, and roads from the commune center to the district have been asphalted.

In particular, the model "Lighting up the countryside" has brought practical results in the emulation movement "The whole country joins hands to build new rural areas" in Phu My. Up to now, there are 6 models of lighting up the countryside in 6/7 hamlets, about 16km long, with nearly 750 light bulbs lit, the total cost of implementation is nearly 920 million VND. Of which, there are 4 solar energy models including 231 light bulbs, nearly 7km long in the hamlets of Phu Tuc, Bung Coc, Soc Xoai and Ta Bien.

Mr. Ma Luong Thien, Head of Ta Bien Hamlet, Phu My Commune shared: Previously, the inter-hamlet road was narrow, muddy in the rainy season, dark at night, people who had to go home late at night were always worried, because the road was potentially dangerous. But since the electricity was installed, the image of the roads into the hamlet has changed completely at night, not only convenient for us to travel, exercise , reduce traffic accidents but also security and order in the hamlet is ensured, traffic accidents are significantly reduced.

Lam Suol farmers in Soc Xoai hamlet, Phu My commune have proactively applied scientific and technical knowledge to production, implementing a specialized crop growing model to gradually increase income and improve life.

Mr. Thach Minh Lay, Vice Chairman of Phu My Commune, said: The above achievements are thanks to the strong direction of Party committees and authorities at all levels to synchronously and effectively implement the State's programs and projects. The commune's traffic is asphalted and concreted to ensure convenient car travel all year round. The number of schools with facilities meeting national standards is 3/4 schools; 7/7 hamlets meet cultural hamlet standards and have community activity houses and basic sports areas to ensure serving the cultural and sports needs of the people; solid and semi-permanent houses account for 89%; there are no more temporary or dilapidated houses. People's income by 2023 will reach 57 million VND; there will be 6 multidimensional poor households (accounting for 0.15%); trained workers will reach 71%; households using clean and hygienic water will reach 99.7%; 100% of households will have regular and safe access to electricity.

The changes in Phu My today are concrete evidence of the correct policies and guidelines of the Party and State, with the attention of the Party Committee and the government, the solidarity, joint efforts, and common hearts, helping the Khmer people in Phu My have conditions to settle down, work, produce, develop the economy, and improve their lives.
