The Prime Minister has approved a national objective programme on providing information to remote and mountainous areas, border regions and islands in the 2012-2015 period.
The programme aims to build and consolidate the grassroots system of information communication to provide exact and timely information about Party policies and state laws, and information about socio-economic, political, cultural, scientific and technical development to people in remote mountain, border and island areas, thus narrowing the gap in available information to people among regions, contributing to promoting economic development, improving the cultural and spiritual life of the people, and ensuring national defence and security in these regions.
The programme will be implemented in 62 poor districts and seven districts that have high rates of household poverty and disadvantaged ethnic-inhabited communes, with a total investment of 1,730 billion VND./.
