Grade, convenience
screened, clean, cool... that was our first feeling when we set foot in the Public Administration Service Center (TPVHCC) of Ba Chuc commune, An Giang province after the merger. The sympathy increased when in front of us, the desks of civil servants were placed shortly and each person had a clear record of the work area and the full name and phone number of the person in charge. Moreover, in front of each civil servant's desk, chairs are arranged for citizens to sit when submitting documents and discuss work. If the family has someone to accompany it, there is an auxiliary bench behind to serve.
This is considered a great effort of the competent authorities of Ba Chuc commune in the first days of merging administrative units with a lot of work.
Taking me to visit the new office, Party Secretary and Chairman of the People's Council of Ba Chuc commune Pham Minh Hien shared: "After 4 days of official operation, the offices of many leaders are still in disarray because we have focused on human resources to complete the renovation of the TTPVHCV in time to serve the people".
At this time, telecommunications and post office departments are also on duty to support communication and guide the transfer service after completion... All as proof that the entire political system is unanimously involved and joins hands to successfully implement the expectations of General Secretary To Lam: "Refined - Compact - Strong - Effective - Effective - Effective" on the implementation of reforming the two-level government, to increasingly better meet the needs of people in the public administration sector. And it is the people who measure that satisfaction with unprecedented emotions.
Coming to submit real estate documents, Mr. Nguyen Van Dinh, born in 1952 expressed: "Compared to before, we had to go to the district center to work, many people should be cramped, now it only takes 5 minutes by motorbike to get there, but the place is clean, airy, and very satisfying".
After that convenient satisfaction, there is also a spiritual satisfaction due to kindness and compassion, which previously, for many reasons, cadres and civil servants did not have the conditions to fully express. Previously, when on duty in the district, I received an average of 50-60 records per day. When returning to the commune, there are an average of more than 10 records/day, so processing time is faster and people are more comfortable when communicating with them, said Mr. Ho Chi Linh - a civil servant in charge of the Land sector.
Good life, beautiful life
According to statistics from the VBSP of Ba Chuc commune, after 4 days of launching, more than 70 applications have been received. But the social effect of this work is greater than the limits of numbers. Like localities and more than localities in An Giang province, having the TTPVHCC located at commune headquarters to serve people in special areas such as Ba Chuc commune is considered to unblock difficulties for many people..., Mr. Pham Minh Hien shared.
Consolidated from 3 localities with specific characteristics: border, ethnic, mountainous, it is enough to show that Ba Chuc people have many obstacles in traveling and communicating when having to carry out administrative procedures in the district center. More specifically, this also helps over 90% of the people here have more opportunities to harmonize the performance of tonon rituals with the performance of public administrative services.
Ba Chuc commune is the birthplace of the Four An Hieu Nghia Buddhists - endogenous Buddhists with specific religious rituals.

Mr. Nguyen Van Ut - Head of the "Truyen Tuong To" Carrying Committee, one of the 24 Carriers in the Ordinary, said that believers perform many worship rituals during the year according to traditional rituals. Each offering, starts at 11am and ends at 1:30pm. On the day of worship, believers must be ready at 10:30. Therefore, having to go far to the district center as before to carry out administrative procedures has more or less caused difficulties for believers... "Therefore, organizing the VCCP in the commune helps believers to have convenience in both life and worship," Mr. Ut shared more.
Ba Chuc commune was merged from Ba Chuc town, Le Tri commune and Lac Quoi commune (Tri Ton district, old An Giang province), with a total area of 70.94km2, population of 32,071 people. Here, in 1867, King Ngo Loi (1831-1890) declared the An Hieu Nghia Tu Dinh (THAN). Dao was recognized by the People's Committee of An Giang province in terms of organization in 2010. On October 27, 2020, the Government Committee for Religious Affairs (BTGCP) approved the change of the name of the religious organization " TAHN Association" to " TAHN Buddhist Association". On December 31, 2020, the Organizing Committee approved the revised Charter of the Taoist Buddhist Sangha, including changing the religious name "THAN" to " Taoist Buddhism". Currently, the religion has nearly 80,000 followers in 16 provinces and cities. In An Giang, there are about 36,000 followers, mainly concentrated in Ba Chuc commune and some surrounding communes.
