The commune has raised more than 12.8 billion VND (503,342 USD) for advanced new rural area building, with over 4.6 billion VND contributed by local residents. Since 2021, Chieng Den has established eight agricultural models across the hamlets and formed three new cooperatives.

All the main roads in the hamlets have been paved; 12.8 km of roads in the commune have street lighting; 100% of the hamlets have been recognized as cultural hamlets; more than 90% of households have solid or semi-solid houses; the average income per capita in 2024 reached over 55 million VND, an increase of nearly 15 million VND compared to 2022; and the poverty rate has dropped to 4.1%. The political system has been strengthened, and security and order have been maintained.
