Honouring 96 outstanding businesses and entrepreneurs to implement the rural development programme
The Steering Committee of national target programme on building new-style rural areas and Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development held a ceremony in Hanoi on July 25 to honour 96 outstanding businesses and entrepreneurs in the implementation of the programme during 2010-2015 period.
At the ceremony, Deputy Prime Minister Vu Van Ninh and Minister of Agriculture and Rural Development Cao Duc Phat has awarded the Prime Minister’s certificates of merit for 65 businesses and 31 entrepreneurs to honour their efforts to carry out the rural development programme.
Addressing the ceremony, Deputy Prime Minister Vu Van Ninh said the programme, initiated by the Government in 2010 to boost rural regions of Vietnam, has become a strong movement with the participation of all-level authorities and people nationwide.
It has helped cut the household poverty rate down by 2% annually and increased income of rural residents twice compared to the first year of the progamme implementation. Up to 889 or about 10% of the total communes and 5 districts have been recognised as new-style rural areas.
According to Deputy PM Vu Van Ninh, during the five-year implementation of the programme, Vietnam’s countryside has gained great achievement that mainly were contributed by businesses and entrepreneurs nationwide.
Those outcomes were reached partly thanks to businesses and entrepreneurs’ contributions, which included their funding for road, school and hospital, the Deputy PM said.
Ninh noted a lot of challenges to increasing the rate of new-style rural communes to 20% by the end of this year as targeted. Localities will be unable to tap into their agricultural potential and improve local material and spiritual life unless concrete actions are made.
He required ministries, sectors and localities to seriously review the implementation of the programme and propose measures to attract business investment in agriculture and rural areas.
The Deputy PM also expressed his hope for more practical contributions by companies and entrepreneurs to rural development and the national industrialisation and modernisation.
