Khanh Son - a poor mountainous district in Khanh Hoa province with no commune meeting new-style rural area criteria - was among the three localities chosen by Khanh Hoa provincial youth union organization to start this meaningful program in the hope that local youths could contribute their parts to bringing new look to the district.
