Among the awardees, only 86 are still alive.
Addressing the award ceremony, Doan expressed her deep gratitude to the mothers for their sacrifice to the struggle for national independence.
Chairman of the provincial People’s Committee Doan The Cuong said local authorities will do their utmost to help the mothers fully benefit from the social welfare policies.
The province has so far had 1,480 mothers awarded with the title.
The same day, the Mekong Delta province of Long An granted the title to 125 mothers in Tan Tru and Chau Thanh districts.
From late 1994 to 2001, 2,040 local women were recognised as heroic mothers, many posthumously.
