Kien Giang kick-starts military-civilian program in 2024

Themed "Kien Giang provincial armed forces together with the party organization, authorities, and people of Hon Dat district build new-style rural area," the program will take place from June 2023 to January 2024.

As planned, the program will facilitate the construction of 115 houses for needy households and seven rural bridges; present gifts to policy beneficiaries, poor and near-poor families; provide health examination, medicines, and consultation for locals.

The organizing panel will present scholarships to needy students with good academic results; build electricity systems in rural areas; carry out environment projects; and hold artistic and sporting events and competitions.

Speaking at the ceremony, Deputy Chairman of the Kien Giang provincial People's Committee and head of the steering committee Nguyen Luu Trung evaluated that this mass mobilization model bears profound socio-political and humane significance, embodying the tradition of “When drinking water, remember its source” and “Gratitude” of the Vietnamese people.

The province's leader urged departments, agencies, organizations, agencies and units of the armed forces, companies, benefactors, party committees, and authorities of Hon Dat district in general and Binh Giang commune in particular to harmoniously and closely coordinate with each other and direct the implementation of activities in a timely and effective manner. He requested them to mobilize all resources to enhance the effectiveness of the program.

At the event, the Kien Giang provincial People's Committee handed certificates of merit to collectives and individuals with outstanding achievements in the program in 2023.
