Effort to build a new countryside

Being the first locality in the province to be recognized as a "cultural commune", thanks to that, Nghia Lam has a solid foundation for building new rural areas. Mr. Le Van Bay - Nghia Lam Commune Party Committee Secretary, said: Three years ago, many commune and inter-village roads were narrow, the rainy season was muddy, but since the commune had advocated building a new countryside, Many households voluntarily join hands to contribute to the construction of these roads. As a result, more than 80% of commune and village roads (more than 16km) are expanded from 3-5m, creating a clean and beautiful landscape.
Nghia Lam commune leaders determined that the key of building cultural life and building new rural areas is still to make the material and spiritual life of the people better.

That is, bringing valuable fruit trees to planting, transferring science and technology to farmers; forming many breeding models. Poor households are given priority to access preferential loans. The commune Steering Committee for Poverty Alleviation assigns each mass organization to guide members of the poor and near-poor households how to do business to get out of poverty sustainably. Currently, the average income per capita is nearly VND 24 million / person / year. Nghia Lam is the commune with the lowest poverty rate in the district (about 4%).
