 The
Government is supporting anti-drug activities under the “Mother of the
Land Fund Village Project in Celebration of Her Majesty the Queen’s 80th
Birthday Anniversary.” The Cabinet, during its meeting on 17 April 2012, acknowledged the organizing of the anti-drug activities to allow people from all walks of life to show gratitude to Her Majesty the Queen on the occasion of her 80th birthday on 12 August 2012. Another objective is to use guidelines under the Mother of the Land Fund to ease the drug situation and to empower villages and communities nationwide. The Government has established the anti-drug policy as part of the national agenda and has placed drug prevention and control on its list of 16 urgent policies for implementation in the first year of its administration. It has also launched a national anti-drug campaign, known as the “Force of the Land to Defeat the Drug Problem,” aimed at encouraging all sectors of Thai society to join forces in the fight against narcotic drugs. According to the Cabinet resolution, from March to December 2012, between 20 and 50 villages and communities in each province will receive funds under the Mother of the Land Fund Village Project. A total of 12,189 villages and communities have already received financial support from the Fund and their anti-drug operations have proven successful in reducing the spread of the narcotics problem. The Government is intended to build 928 learning centers for the Mother of the Land Fund in all districts. Among this number, 80 will be developed in line with the Sufficiency Economy philosophy to serve as models for various provinces, in celebration of Her Majesty the Queen’s 80th birthday anniversary. In order to carry out anti-drug activities under this project, public relations campaigns will be conducted through various media channels to raise public awareness of anti-drug operations in response to the wishes of Her Majesty the Queen. The Mother of the Land Fund Village Project was launched in 2004, after Her Majesty the Queen had donated her personal funds to the Office of the Narcotics Control Board to support the operations of anti-drug volunteers. The Office took the royal funds as seed money for communities and villages to fight the drug menace. Since Her Majesty is recognized as the Mother of the Land, the project is referred to as the Mother of the Land Fund Village Project. On the eve of Her Majesty’s birthday in 2011, Her Majesty called on anti-narcotics authorities to step up suppression efforts and urged the Government to continue with the Mother of the Land Fund Village Project. The Center for the Force of the Land to Defeat the Drug Problem serves as a major mechanism for the project. The financial support for the project comes from the Office of the Narcotics Control Board, the Ministry of Interior, local administrative organizations, and the Government’s central fund. |
