Hà Nam (
listen) is a province of northern Vietnam, in the Red River Delta.
The Hà Nam, and Vietnam as a whole, implemented the second five-year plan between 1975 and 1980. This plan included protecting the country's national border and gradually overcoming difficulties within the country itself. Between 1981 and 1985, the administration attempted to improve the society and culture of Vietnam.
The years between 1975 and 1985, were a difficult time for the country in general and for the Hà Nam Province, in particular. In this period, the society and economy of Vietnam went through a number of severe difficulties and the majority of the population's standard of living was very low. Despite these events, Hà Nam still managed to make some important gains.
Hà Nam is subdivided into 6 district-level sub-divisions:
They are further subdivided into 7 commune-level towns (or townlets), 98 communes, and 11 wards.
Throughout this period, Hà Nam Province concentrated their efforts on implementing an extensive irrigation system, widening the area suitable for growing crops, developing the manner in which cattle were raised in the area and applying technical scientific advances. As a result of these operations, a high number of co-operatives in the province reached 5 tons per ha by the year 1987. Furthermore, agrainian districts supplied tens of thousands of tons of food for the state.
The handicraft industries continued to develop in both the quantity and the quality of the products being produced. Basic education standards developed quickly and equally. The areas of information culture, medical and sports were opened and intensified at a grassroots level.
The Northern Border War, which broke out during February 1979, had a direct influence on the socio-economic situation in Hà Nam province, in particular. The Hà Nam province's population became involved in the struggling movement via military enrollment and the local military force began assisting the defense and security plans of the nation.
