The industrial promotion program supports the making of Bau Da liquor in Nhon Loc village |
After 8 years of operation, the province’s centre for industrial promotion has proved its effectiveness in such fields as vocational training, new vocational introduction, and restoration of traditional craft villages.
Funded by central and provincial budgets, the centre has allocated more than 5 billion VND to the infrastructure construction and restoration of traditional craft villages at localities since 2005.
It, for example, invested nearly 100 million VND in offering the vocational training program to 100 villagers in districts of Van Canh and Vinh Thanh.
The centre also financially supported other villages specializing in the making of sedge mat, coconut fibre carpet, and Bau Da liquor. Thanks to the support, many of them were restored. The province has so far seen 38 villages recognized as traditional craft villages.
Under the province’s industrial promotion programs, some 5 billion VND was poured into the introduction of new crafts, models for technical performance, and technical transfer. The center allocated over 2 billion VND to train nearly 4,000 laborers in new crafts in many districts.
“The industrial promotion projects have partly contributed to the local socio-economic development,” said Nguyen Thanh Minh, head of An Nhon town’s economic division. “An Nhon is now cooperating with the center and functional bodies to implement other programs.”
However, the industrial promotion in Binh Dinh still sees some shortcomings, including low qualifications, difficulties for output, or limitations in models for technical performances.
The centre’s director Nguyen Ba Tai said, the centre will continue to support organisations and individuals operating in industrial production in rural areas. This is expected to make the industrial production value in rural areas account for 38 percent of the province’s total industrial production value by 2015.
