Accordingly, national programs for socio-economic development (Programme 134, 135) have been carried out effectively and brought benefits to local minority ethnic households. Particularly, billions of dong were also spent to construct rural traffic projects, schools, health stations, water and electricity projects in the locality.
So far, 720 minority ethnic households have received houses and land, hundreds of others have been provided with seeds, breeding animals, fertilizer, and machines for production. The programs have also helped locals to access to clean water sources; 100% of residents are currently connected to the national electricity grid.
