The commendation work has ensured accuracy, timeliness, publicity, transparency, towards small collectives and individuals in remote and isolated areas, she added.

On the occasion, outstanding collectives and individuals in emulation movements in the 2016-2020 were honoured for their achievements and great contributions to the society's development.
