The Ministry of Industry has given the Thai people a New Year’s present in the shape of community development projects that will bring in over 12 billion baht in revenue.
The government has voiced public worry about the impact the epidemic would have on the Thai economy, according to Nattiya Nettayasupa, Deputy Director of the Department of Industrial Promotion. As a result, it has charged Minister of Industry Suriya Jungrungreangkit with taking steps to aid and develop the potential of communities as the basis for preserving the country’s robust economy.
The “DIPROM” project was created under this effort to implement the objectives of Prime Minister General Prayut Chan-o-cha by creating seven procedures for establishing a stable and prosperous community. People’s business acumen will be bolstered, new employment possibilities will be made available, and the local economy will benefit from the project’s efforts. Funding of 1.2 billion baht was allocated by the government to teach over 700,000 individuals in 400 locations around the country.
Nattiya identifies seven factors—a well-thought-out community plan, efficient personnel development and community branding, high-quality goods with distinctive features, a stable communal mechanism, an established market for integrated modern trade, and a reliable cash flow system—that contribute to the growth of a thriving community. Over 630,000 people in 1,580 different areas have benefited from this effort thus far.
Nattiya said to the public that the ministry’s successful “DIPROM” initiative contributed over 12 billion baht to the Thai economy as a New Year’s present. The government thinks that this will inspire more individuals to put their skills to work for them, increasing income and decreasing costs for families. Ultimately, the project’s backers want to see an increase in the number of stable jobs inside the community as well as a redistribution of revenue that benefits everyone.
