Yen Bai city completes new-style rural building mission

Monday, July 13, 2020

YBO - After a decade of implementing the national target programme on building new-style rural areas, all eight communes of Yen Bai city have fulfilled all 19 criteria of the standard and obtained the recognition.

Individuals with outstanding contribution to the ‘Yen Bai joins hands for new-style rural area building’ campaign receive certificates of merit from the provincial People’s Committee.

During the 2011 – 2020 period, the city has invested more than 2.28 trillion VND (98.29 million USD) in the work, of which 25 percent was sourced from locals’ donations.

In addition to building infrastructure and improving local residents’ cultural life, the city has stepped up policies to stimulate agricultural, industry and services development.

The restructuring of the local workforce has paved the way for the fulfilment of socio-economic development tasks, with income per capita in rural areas projected to reach 46.6 million VND this year, up 32.2 million VND from 2011. The rate of poor households across communes was forecast to be 1.53 percent, down 12.8 percent while the rate of labourers securing jobs might hit 95.3 percent, up 9.5 percent from 2011.

On the occasion, organisations and individuals with outstanding contribution to the local new-style rural area building work during 2011 – 2019 were honoured./.
