In recent years, the Fatherland Front Committees at various levels in the province have closely followed the local political tasks, effectively fulfilled their functions and duties, provided counsel to party committees, and assisted governments at all levels in mobilizing and uniting all societal strata to construct a national great unity block. The mobilizations and patriotic movements initiated by the Fatherland Front Committees at different levels have proliferated widely, drawing in numerous businesses, entrepreneurs, and individuals from all walks of life within the province to partake, genuinely becoming a cultural highlight in community life and yielding tangible outcomes. Embracing the motto "Bring competitive movements to every residential area and household, fostering consensus to vigorously strive for successful completion of local socio-economic development tasks and objectives," the Standing Committee of the Provincial Fatherland Front Committee has overseen and guided committees at every tier, as well as Front Work Committees in residential areas, to closely align with local conditions and spearhead a range of activities to invigorate expansive competitive movements among the populace. Through these endeavors, they have attracted widespread public participation and contributed to successfully realizing nationwide competitive movements and the socio-economic development aims of Thai Nguyen province.

People's unity is both the objective and the guiding principle of action for the Front. However, achieving unity cannot merely rely on broad exhortations; it must delve deeply into mobilization efforts, fostering connections at the grassroots level, setting examples, and integrating within the populace. Embracing the principle of innovating content and methods of operation, the Central Committee of the Vietnam Fatherland Front has introduced the "Renovation of Information and Propaganda Work" initiative, leveraging the Front's role in disseminating information, mobilizing, and grasping the people's sentiments. Alongside modern media channels, grassroots Front officials have flexibly, creatively, and diversely utilized various forms of propaganda and mobilization in regions and localities that align with the specific characteristics of different societal strata, ethnicities, and religions. This aims to convey the Party's principles, directives, state policies, and laws to the people.
To enhance mobilization efforts and consolidate solidarity among ethnic and religious communities, the various levels of Fatherland Front Committees in the province have implemented and detailed these plans within their annual work agendas. In regions densely populated by ethnic or religious communities, the committees have effectively counseled the party committees and governments, jointly organized visits, provided encouragement, fostered closeness and connections between officials, authorities, and the people, offering mutual assistance within the community. They've also collaborated on propagating and mobilizing efforts to build models such as "Peaceful religious villages, exemplary Catholic families," the movement of "Living a good life, embodying good religious teachings," constructing progressive temples as models, and participating in "Excelling in production, excelling in social work"...

The movements and campaigns initiated and implemented by the Vietnam Fatherland Front Committee across the entire province have seen new developments, focusing on residential areas with various creative approaches. Many effective models have been built and increasingly replicated, mobilizing the potential, creativity, and voluntary spirit of participation among members, association participants, and all societal classes. This effort has helped overcome difficulties and contributed substantial resources to socio-economic development, fostering the continual progress of our homeland. In line with the Resolution of the 7th Central Conference on "Agriculture, Countryside and Farmers" and in response to the nationwide movement "The whole country joins hand to build new rural areas" launched by the Prime Minister, through the campaign "All people unite to build new rural areas and civilized urban areas," committees at various levels of the Fatherland Front have actively integrated and implemented the criteria for constructing a new countryside, mobilizing people to actively donate land and contribute labor to build a more civilized and prosperous new rural area. Taking responsibility to the Party, State, and people, many grassroots Front officials have earnestly contemplated and acted upon the Party's significant directive of a genuine "revolution" in transforming the rural areas.

Activities for the poor such as the movement "The whole country joins hands for the poor, leaving nobody behind", "Peak month for the poor", "Tet peak week for the poor" have been effectively coordinated and implemented by committees at various levels and affiliated organizations. They've employed innovative methods, such as organizing mutual aid models to eradicate hunger and reduce poverty, launching support initiatives for impoverished households to breed productive cattle, assisting in housing construction for policy beneficiary families and economically challenged households, as well as coordinating visits and gift-giving during traditional ethnic festivals and holidays. Annually, committees at all levels from provincial to grassroots have developed plans to mobilize and build the "For the Poor” Fund, cooperated in evaluating poor households and those facing difficulties to propose necessary support. Each year, these committees collaborate on propagating and mobilizing efforts to build the "Gratitude Repayment” Fund, organizing activities to care for families of veterans, martyrs, and those who contributed to the nation, conducting visits, providing gifts, offering savings accounts, caring for and honoring heroic Vietnamese mothers, as well as venerating martyrs' cemeteries...
In recent years, grassroots Front officials have conducted extensive propaganda and mobilization efforts, empowering the people to exercise their right to participate and engage in hundreds of monitoring activities, focusing significantly on electoral processes, monitoring community-based COVID-19 prevention measures, and supervising issues directly linked to people's lives and matters of public concern. This includes overseeing the enforcement of environmental protection laws, monitoring officials and party members in their places of residence, monitoring the implementation of the Government’s Resolutions No. 42/NQ-CP and No. 68/NQ-CP concerning support policies for workers and employers affected by the COVID-19 pandemic, ensuring food safety and hygiene, as well as monitoring resource mobilization for the construction of new rural areas. Through these monitoring activities, numerous important recommendations and proposals have been made to the Party committees, government authorities, and units, contributing to refining mechanisms and policies to meet the aspirations of different societal strata. Consequently, the people's right to self-governance has increasingly been emphasized, aiding grassroots party committees and authorities in better implementing the principle of "people know, people discuss, people do and people check".
Over 93 glorious and proud years, the Vietnam Fatherland Front in general and the Vietnam Fatherland Front in Thai Nguyen province have always deserved to be the representative organization of the People, the leading force to build the national great unity block, contributing to the prosperous development of the homeland and the country.
