▪ Dear comrade, looking back at the 2020 - 2025 term, what are the outstanding results that the Party Committee and people of Chu Pah commune have achieved?

- During the 2020 - 2025 term, we faced many difficulties and challenges from the Covid-19 pandemic, climate change, unstable agricultural prices... However, thanks to the strong leadership of the Party Committee, the solidarity of the political system and the consensus of the people, the commune basically completed the targets set by the Resolution of the Commune Party Congress.

The economic structure continued to shift in the right direction, focusing on agriculture - forestry, small-scale industry - construction and trade - services. Annual budget revenue increased steadily, total revenue for the entire term reached 147.6 billion VND; budget expenditure was strictly implemented, in accordance with regulations, with a total expenditure of 143.5 billion VND.

Three national target programs (new rural construction; socio-economic development of ethnic minority and mountainous areas; sustainable poverty reduction) were implemented synchronously, mobilizing large resources, changing the face of the countryside, contributing to improving the material and spiritual life of the people. The commune completed the elimination of 31/31 temporary and dilapidated houses (costing more than 1 billion VND); the poverty rate decreased to 0.72%. Education achieved positive results, 8/9 schools met national standards level 1.

In terms of culture and society, the quality of education and health care has been improved; 100% of households have access to the national grid. National defense and security have been maintained, and military recruitment has reached 100% of the target (134 citizens enlisted). The commune has built 8 self-management models and installed 43 security surveillance cameras, contributing to ensuring peace in the area.

Regarding Party building, we identify this as a key task. The Commune Party Committee strictly implements resolutions and directives from higher levels; focuses on political and ideological work; and improves the quality of Party cell activities. During the term, 125 new Party members were admitted; 94% of Party members fulfilled their tasks well; 92% of Party cells fulfilled their tasks well, many Party cells achieved excellent results. 100% of villages and residential groups have Party cells; 88.2% of Party cell secretaries are also village and residential group leaders; 94% of village and residential group leaders are Party members. The exemplary role of cadres, especially leaders, is clearly promoted.

The commune Party Committee resolutely implements solutions to prevent and repel degradation in ideology, morality and lifestyle; prevent and combat “self-evolution” and “self-transformation”; and fight against corruption and negativity. In addition, it builds revolutionary ethical standards associated with studying and following Ho Chi Minh’s ideology, morality and lifestyle, contributing to improving the leadership capacity and fighting strength of the Party organization.
