Trang Xa Youth strives to rise up
Ms. Nguyen Hoang Thanh Hoa, Secretary of Trang Xa commune's Youth Union, said: The commune's Youth Union currently has 158 members, operating in 26 grassroots branches. In recent times, the movement "Accompanying young people to start a business and establish a career" has created a widespread effect, from which many typical and highly effective models with incomes of hundreds of millions of VND have emerged each year.
We visited the fruit tree growing model of Mr. Nguyen Duc Dung, in Mo Dinh hamlet, Trang Xa commune - one of the typical members of the Youth Union in economic development in the locality. In 2020, Mr. Dung cleared the hill to grow 2 hectares of pomelos, pink pomelos, Dien pomelos, longans and 1800m2 of lotus ponds. In addition, he raised 30 pairs of breeding bamboo rats. Currently, the grapefruit area yields more than 10,000 fruits per crop, along with income from growing lotus seeds of about 40kg/week and selling bamboo rats by weight. Each year, his total profit is about 300 million VND/year.
Also in Mo Dinh hamlet, Nguyen Huu Hieu's economic development model also brings high economic efficiency, attracting many people to learn. In 2019, with the money he saved and a loan from the Social Policy Bank, Hieu invested in an area of 200m2 to build a French pigeon breeding model. With the encouragement of the organizations, he has constantly tried and initially achieved certain results. Up to now, he is raising 700 pairs of pigeons, bringing in a profit of 20-25 million VND/month. To help union members develop the economy, Trang Xa Commune Union has actively implemented preferential policies of the State, especially capital to support young people starting a business through the Social Policy Bank.
Up to now, the Commune Youth Union has managed a debt balance of more than 21 billion VND, a savings balance of more than 461 million VND; with a total of 270 borrowing households. At the same time, it has coordinated to organize training courses on crop care techniques, job orientation, and support for union members in difficulty. Many activities to support youth start-ups have been organized to raise awareness and capacity of union officials at all levels on start-ups.
In addition, the Commune Youth Union also provides consultation, training, information support, knowledge, and skills for youth start-ups and businesses; supports union members in applying technical advances and high technology to agricultural production to improve productivity, quality, and ensure product hygiene and safety.
In addition to promoting economic development, the youth of Trang Xa commune also enthusiastically responded and organized many practical activities such as: showing gratitude, taking care of poor households, lonely elderly people, helping union members and young people in difficult circumstances...
With specific and practical actions in the economic development competition, volunteering for the community, the youth union members of Trang Xa commune have affirmed their youthful strength and bravery in all fields. In particular, the youth movement to compete in economic development and poverty reduction has brought about practical results, contributing significantly to the socio-economic development of the locality.
