Sharing with Lao Dong Newspaper, Ms. Bui Kim Quyen - Head of Chum Nua village, Duc Nhan commune, Phu Tho province - said that she is concurrently holding two positions.
According to Ms. Quyen, before implementing the new policy, the total allowance she received was nearly 4 million VND/month. After applying the new Resolution, her income increased to more than 6 million VND/month.
Chum Nua village was merged from the two villages Doi Coc and Chum Nua before. The area is wider, the road to solve work is about 5 km, so the workload is also more.
Going further, more hard, but with the current allowance level, I see it as worthy and have more motivation to complete the task," Ms. Quyen shared.
Sharing the joy, Mr. Xa Van Dat - Head of Chieng Cang village - said that Chieng Cang village was formed after the merger of Ke hamlet and Chieng Cang.
In which, the area of Ke hamlet is located by the river, adjacent to Van Ho commune (Son La), belonging to the lake area, so travel is still difficult.
Currently, Mr. Dat holds three positions at the same time, including Village Head, Deputy Secretary of the Party Cell and Commune Military Commander.
Previously, the total allowance he received was about 2.9 million VND/month. According to new regulations, the total allowance and concurrent support are expected to be more than 6 million VND/month.
The area after the merger is wider, the number of households has increased, and moving between residential areas also takes a lot of time. The new policy helps people working at the grassroots level feel more secure because the effort put in has been recognized," Mr. Dat said.
Sharing with Lao Dong Newspaper, lawyer Nguyen Thu Trang - Deputy Director of Heva Law Company Limited - said that according to current regulations, the Government stipulates the minimum allowance level for people working in villages in Decree No. 185/2026/ND-CP. On that basis, localities can decide on higher support levels depending on actual conditions.
