Vision
Under the auspices of Thailand's Royal Initiatives and Projects, to improve the quality of life, living conditions, and the educational opportunities for people who have unmet needs and live in remote, rural areas of Thailand, by collaborating with public and private institutions as well as international organizations.
Mission
- Under the Royal Initiatives of Her Royal Highness Princess Maha Chakri Sirindhorn, to conduct research related to the quality of life and sustainable development of the populace in remote, rural areas of Thailand, integrating five areas of special focus: education, nutrition and health, economics and occupational stability, conservation of natural resources and the environment, and preservation of the local cultures, traditions, and ways of living of the people. All development activities should consider, and benefit from, the good, local wisdom of the people, and promote sufficiency economy principles that create sustainable, self-reliant communities.
- Transfer appropriate knowledge and technologies to communities under a Royal Initiative Project, and to neighboring countries.
- Build a resource database of information gained from the research, including geographic information, focusing on the targeted areas, specifically Thailand's border regions and other areas remote from transportation systems, which have scarce economic resources or face other disadvantages.
