From the start of the year, mobilized capital for the national target program on building new-style rural areas in Binh Duong was estimated to reach over VND986 billion, 62.27% of the year’s plan.

For essential infrastructure, over 99% of rural people had access to the national grid. The whole province had 100% of communes meeting health standards, 100% of hamlets in communes having access to mobile phone, home phone and the internet; and 98% of rural households having access to safe water.

As of August 31st, the locality saw 32 communes recognized as new-style rural areas, accounting for 65.3%. Currently, 17 communes have not yet fulfilled 19 new-style rural areas criteria.

In the rest of the year, Binh Duong continues to maintain and improve the quality of criteria at recognized new-style rural areas. It will focus on raising the awareness of people about policies related to agriculture, farmers and rural areas.

In his speech at the meeting, a member of the Standing Board of the Binh Duong provincial Party Committee, Deputy Head of the provincial People’s Committee, Mai Hung Dung affirmed that the province always paid attention to building new-style rural areas in combination with agricultural restructuring.

In the near future, it would continue mobilizing persified capital sources, and popularizing and mobilizing people classes to join hands to realize the program.

Earlier, the delegation inspected the reality of building new-style rural areas in Thanh An, Thanh Tuyen communes in Dau Tieng district, and Tru Van Tho commune in Bau Bang district./.
