YANGON, 15 Jan. - A mass rally to support national and rural development
tasks organized by

Development Association was held at the divisional sports

column comprising USDA members from Launglon, Dawei,
Thayet-chaung and Yebyu townships; Myeik District column comprising
those of Myeik, Palaw, Kyunzu and Taninthayi townships; Kawthoung
District column comprising those of Kawthoung and Bokpyin
townships altogether numbering over 11,000. Taninthayi Division
USDA Secretary U Kyaw Kyaw Htay presided over the rally with
Taninthayi Division USDA Executives U Than Aung and U Soe Moe
Naing as members of the panel of chairmen.
Divisional USDA Executive Daw Aye Aye Nu acted as master of ceremonies
with Dawei District USDA Executive Daw Su Su Htwe as co-master
of ceremonies. First, Chairman of the mass rally U Kyaw Kyaw
Htay delivered an address. He said that USDA is a national organization
formed with the offspring of the national races with a view to
serving the interests of the nation and the entire national people.
The USDA members are actively participating in the national and rural
development endeavours. Since 1988, the Government and the
people have joined hands and made collective efforts for national
development. As a result, achievements can be seen all over the
country. The Government has undertaken the following six work
programmes without sparing night and day.
(1) Tasks for national unity and peace and stability;
(2) Tasks for development of economic infrastructures;
(3) Tasks for enhancement of economic power;
(4) Tasks for the development of national human resource,
(5) Tasks for improvement of social efficiency; and
(6) Tasks for the promotion of regional and international cooperation.
Those tasks were carried out in line with the Political, Economic and
Social Objectives which have been laid down as tactics for fulfilling
the actual requirements of the country with the aim of ensuring the
emergence of a peaceful, modern and developed nation which is, in
fact, our strategy. In conclusion, he urged the USDA members to
safeguard peace and tranquillity, to take part in nation-building endeavours
and to pay serious attention to rural development tasks by accepting
the Government's nation-building works as the national work
programmes.
Next, Thayetchaung USDA Secretary U Khin Maung Htay tabled the motion
calling for support of
national development tasks being undertaken by
the Government. He said that as mentioned by the
meeting chairman,
Myanmar has better foundations for development. The Government is striving
day and night for proportionate development of urban, rural and border
areas. As regards national
development, the national solidarity and
peace and tranquillity are fundamental requirements. With these
requirements fulfilled, the Government has expedited the works in building
up the economic
infrastructures of the nation. Emphasis is laid on
agriculture on which over 70 per cent of population rely.
Hence, the development in agriculture is the backbone of development in
other economic sectors. Dams, reservoirs and irrigation
facilities are built within a short time. To be exact, altogether 372
dams and reservoirs have been built in the past decade.
Of them, 128 were major irrigation projects. As a result, the irrigated
acreage which was only 2.52
million in 1988-89 has increased to 4.9
million today. As regards development of the entire nation, the
human resource development plays a key role. Hence, 112 colleges, institutes
and universities have been opened since 1988. There were only 32
colleges, institutes and universities in 1988 and today the
number has increased to 144. Post graduate courses have been upgraded
to doctorate courses. As regards basic education schools, there
were only 33,747 schools in 1988 and today there are 39,081 schools
showing an increase of 5,334 schools. Altogether 678 schools have been
opened in border areas where there was no school in the past.
In the Taninthayi Division, 138 schools have been opened. The Government
is achieving remarkable success in national development
endeavours. The USDA members are urged to maintain the
development momentum and take an active part in the national
development endeavours. A motion to support the Government's
national development tasks was thus tabled.
The motion was supported by Dawei Township USDA Executive Daw Yi Yi Than.
She said that as Myanmar is an agro-based country and the
Government provided necessary assistance and
encouragement for
agricultural development, the nation has achieved food sufficiency. Water is
supplied adequately while greening projects are being
implemented in the arid zone. In the past, the division was not
sufficient in rice. To reclaim more arable land, the Government spent 100
million kyats for reinforcing embankments. Five hundred thousand
of acres have been targeted to be reclaimed and put under
oil-palm. On completion of this project. Taninthayi Division can be dubbed
as oil pot of the nation.
Foreign exchange can also be earned through export of surplus oil-palm
and rubber. Thanks to better transportation, one can now easily
and conveniently travel and transport products from one region
to another within the division as well as from the division to
other States and Divisions. One can travel conveniently from Sittway
in the west to Kengtung and Tachilek in the east.
To travel from south to north, roads and bridges are being built in
Taninthayi Division with a view to
providing access from Kawthoung to
Mawlamyine and Yangon. The government's project of 110-mile
Ye-Dawei railroad is also very beneficial to the region. Taninthayi Division
is rich in fishery resources. An international fish market has
been opened in Myeik. Efforts are being made to earn more
foreign exchange through export of fishery and marine products.
The division is also suitable for prawn breeding works. Plans are under
way to increase incomes of
foreign exchange from prawn breeding works.
Eye-drops for preventing new castle disease were provided to
chicken in the division as a mass movement. She firmly supported the motion
calling for support of the national development tasks being
undertaken by the Government.
Then, Yebyu Township USDA executive Daw Khin Thida of Taninthayi Division
tabled the motion
calling for participation of USDA members in rural
development tasks. She said it is obvious that
construction work by the
Government directly contributed to the people.
The Government has built 128 dams in agricultural sectors for the
development of rural area economy; in doing so, Yinwa Dam in
Kawthauung, Taninthayi Division has been constructed. In transport
sector, there were only 13,600 miles of roads ten years ago and
that roads has been extended to 17800 miles at present.
Altogether 135 180-foot and above bridges including Winpa Bridge, Plauk
Bridge, Palaw Bridge,
Taninthayi Bridge and Pathaung Bridge have been
built and the 180-foot and above bridges like Kyweku Kyaukphya
Bridge, Thamutlutlut Bridge and Layhnyamandaing Bridges are under
construction. In building economic infrastructures, the
Government, at the same time, is making efforts for rural
development; the five rural development tasks laid down by the State are the
basic needs for rural areas and they can alleviate rural
poverty.
Afterwards, Launglon Township USDA Secretary U Than Zaw Oo of Taninthayi
Division said that with smooth transport between rural and urban
areas, agricultural produce in rural areas can easily be marketed and
it will contribute to an increase of education and health care services
needed in rural areas. If so, the rural areas will enjoy modern
lifestyle. The rural development work also included efforts made
for fresh water availability in Nyaungzin Village in Thayetchaung Township
and Kyetsarbyin Ward in Dawei Township and altogether 1,405 USDA
members will contribute their services as course teachers to 273
sections of three-R Campaign in villages of the division.
In conclusion, he said the rural development tasks are noble ones with a
view to ensuring the
development of the entire nation. Therefore, he
heartily supported the motion calling for active
participation of USDA
members to achieve successes of rural development tasks being under taken
by the State. Then, the rally passed the resolutions in support
of the national and rural development tasks laid down by the
State and participation of USDA members in national and rural development
tasks. Later, the rally ended with the chanting of slogans.
