  • Ninh Binh provincial People's Council deputies proposed equipping each village and residential group with a computer for shared use.
  • The proposal stems from the need to support expanded administrative areas and boost IT application in management and communication.
  • The province also addressed environmental concerns, with the Agriculture and Environment Department acknowledging pollution from cement factories and industrial zones.

Deputies of the Ninh Binh Provincial People's Council have called for each village and residential group to be equipped with a computer. This proposal emerged during the council's mid-year session for the 2026-2030 term, which reviewed social, economic, and budgetary matters.

The request for computers is driven by the expansion of administrative units, which have resulted in larger areas and increased populations per village. Furthermore, the push to apply information technology in management and communication necessitates these tools at the local level for smoother operations.

After the merger of administrative units, villages and residential groups are now much larger, with more households and larger populations than before. At the same time, it is necessary to promote the application of information technology in management and communication, so villages need to be equipped with computers to facilitate operations.

Ninh Binh currently has 4,482 villages and residential groups. Following administrative reforms, this number is expected to decrease to 1,753. The provincial People's Committee has acknowledged the computer proposal and will direct relevant departments to study and decide on its implementation.

Environmental pollution from cement factories, industrial zones, and mining sites was also a significant topic during the session. Dinh Van Tien, Director of the provincial Department of Agriculture and Environment, admitted that these facilities are causing pollution and impacting residents' lives. He noted that Ninh Binh, after administrative mergers, has become one of the provinces with the largest number of cement factories (11) and industrial zones (18) nationwide, alongside 202 mining sites.

There is a situation where cement factories, industrial zones, and mining sites are causing environmental pollution, affecting people's lives.
