(DTO) On the morning of November 12, at the Sa Dec Ward People’s Committee, the Front Work Committee of the Cau Dinh - Cai Son Inter-neighborhood (Inter-neighborhood 3) held Great National Unity Day in conjunction with Vietnam Culture Day 2026. This was the province’s model celebration, held in Sa Dec Ward. 

The event was attended by Ngo Chi Cuong, Member of the Party Central Committee, Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee and Chairman of the Dong Thap Provincial People’s Council; representatives of the Vietnam Fatherland Front Committee of Dong Thap Province; leaders of provincial departments and agencies; Sa Dec Ward leaders; and more than 200 delegates representing households in the neighborhoods. 

At the event, delegates and local residents reviewed the 96-year history of the Vietnam Fatherland Front (November 18, 1930 - November 18, 2026) and assessed the results of campaigns and patriotic emulation movements carried out in residential areas over the past year. 

The Cau Dinh - Cai Son Inter-neighborhood currently has 2,048 households with a total population of 8,708. In 2026, the Front Work Committees of the two neighborhoods coordinated various practical activities, helping strengthen national unity, improve residents’ living conditions and build a civilized residential community. 

Notably, the locality mobilized resources to build and hand over three Great Unity houses worth a total of 200 million VND, provided 55 million VND in support for a charity house, and offered financial assistance, livelihood support and job referrals to disadvantaged households. Education also received attention, with 79 million VND raised to support underprivileged students. Per capita income reached 89 million VND per year, 98.3% of households were recognized as cultured families, and health insurance coverage reached 100%. 

In particular, Cau Dinh Neighborhood was selected to pilot the “Digital Neighborhood” model. To date, it has completed data collection for all 660 households. A total of 96.8% of eligible residents have been issued Level 2 VNeID accounts, while 99.7% of households have joined the Zalo group of the self-managed people’s group. Digital services, including QR codes for a digital suggestion box, public Wi-Fi and smart security cameras, are gradually proving effective in strengthening connections between local authorities and residents. 

Speaking at the event, Secretary Ngo Chi Cuong acknowledged and commended the neighborhood’s achievements in strengthening national unity, developing the local economy, ensuring social welfare and implementing self-management models. He called on the Party Committee, local authorities, the Fatherland Front and mass organizations in Sa Dec Ward to continue promoting solidarity among residents; renew their communication and mobilization methods; pay greater attention to policy beneficiary families, poor households and those facing difficulties; and promote residents’ role in building a civilized urban area. 

He also called for making effective use of Sa Dec’s potential and advantages, particularly its ornamental plant brand, traditional craft villages, tourism and signature products. He emphasized the need to improve the “Digital Neighborhood” model, expand the use of technology to connect and interact with residents, and promote community self-management in environmental protection and maintaining public security and order. These efforts will help build residential communities that are “Secure - Safe - Peaceful,” contributing to a more developed, civilized and warm-hearted Sa Dec Ward. 

On this occasion, Secretary Ngo Chi Cuong presented five gifts to outstanding families. Phuong Thanh Dental Co., Ltd. awarded 20 gifts to students with good academic performance, while MobiFone Corporation donated 200 SIM card kits to help residents access digital services. The Sa Dec Ward Vietnam Fatherland Front Committee presented 10 social welfare gifts to disadvantaged households.
