The Ministry of Interior has expanded the sustainable village project initiated by HRH Princess Sirivannavari Nariratana Rajakanya, who has shared her vision to eradicate poverty in remote areas.
Making a recent visit to the deep South in Songkhla and Pattani province, the ministry's permanent secretary, accompanied by a senior UN official, visited some craft communities that were the role models for sustainable villages in the South. Locals have used their local wisdom in batik cloth and practised the sufficiency economy philosophy of the late HM King Bhumibol Adulyadej The Great to grow their vegetables and fruits to increase food security for their families.
