Infrastructure investment to improve the landscape of poor rural areas

Returning to Tan Tap commune today, many people are surprised by the transformation of a difficult countryside, especially in the hamlets: Thanh Trung, Dong An, Dong Binh, Vinh Thanh—one of the most difficult areas of the commune.

In the past, the transportation system, infrastructure, and facilities were not synchronous, often affected by high tides, and the poverty rate was still quite high. However, thanks to the support from the Central and the province, along with the constant efforts of the Party Committee, local authorities, and the companionship and joint efforts of the people to overcome difficulties, including many practical and effective policies such as support for infrastructure investment, production, business, and social security, Tan Tap commune has risen from a poor countryside.

Today, the appearance of the most difficult hamlets of the commune has also improved. The electricity network, roads, schools, and stations, along with essential facilities, have been newly built, better serving the needs of the people and beautifying the heroic countryside.

The current appearance of Tan Tap commune has changed quite positively

The National Target Program on New Rural Development and the National Target Program on Sustainable Poverty Reduction for the 2021-2025 period play an important role in the current development process of Tan Tap.

The program has implemented a project to support the development of local socio-economic infrastructure with a budget of 13,200 million VND in essential regional socio-economic infrastructure in the commune, serving people's lives, production, trade, circulation of goods, and access to basic social services. Investment and maintenance capital mainly focus on upgrading and repairing rural roads and maintaining basic works in the area.

Mr. Nguyen Van Tai (residing in Thanh Trung hamlet) shared, "Looking at the current appearance of the locality, everyone is very excited. The traffic infrastructure has been invested in and upgraded to better meet the needs of travel, trade, and economic development. Our income has also increased significantly; all basic aspects are much better than before."

People hope that the leaders will continue to pay attention to supporting investment and expanding traffic infrastructure to meet the socio-economic development in the current period as well as in the future when the country rises up and enters a new era.

In addition, the local government also focuses on poverty reduction, economic development, and improving people's lives. The commune promotes economic restructuring, linking production and product consumption; supports preferential loans, vocational training, and implementing effective livelihood models, thereby gradually improving the lives and increasing the income of local people.

According to Ms. Thach Thi Lien (residing in Dong An hamlet), "Thanks to the attention of the locality in the work, especially the timely support, I have the means to make a living, and my family has overcome difficulties."

The double road of Thanh Trung hamlet, Tan Trung commune was invested and upgraded with funding supported by the National Target Program on New Rural Development and the National Target Program on Sustainable Poverty Reduction for the period 2021-2025

Chairman of the Commune People's Committee Nguyen Hoai Thanh said, "Tan Tap has now made great strides, especially in the difficult hamlets. In addition to local resources, throughout the development process, the commune has received a lot of attention and support from all levels in investing and upgrading infrastructure. The locality is supported financially by all levels, including the National Target Program on New Rural Development and the National Target Program on Sustainable Poverty Reduction for the 2021-2025 period, investing in developing socio-economic infrastructure, facilitating travel, trade, connection, etc., contributing to improving the appearance, and making people's lives better.

Although there have been many changes, Tan Tap commune still faces many challenges, and people's lives are still difficult. Therefore, in the coming time, the local government hopes to continue to receive attention from all levels, the companionship of people and businesses to help Tan Tap transform even more strongly.

Regarding the development orientation in the 2025-2030 period, Mr. Nguyen Hoai Thanh added that Tan Tap will develop its economy in the direction of "industry, trade, services, urban areas, agriculture," developing urban ports and logistics. The commune strives for an average income per capita of 110 million VND/year and by 2030 there will be no more poor households (according to the stage poverty standard, except for poor households without the ability to work)./.
