Supporting local community activities

1.4 Community anti-poverty programmes

1.4.2 Does your university as a body provide financial assistance to the local community

assisting the start-up of financially and socially sustainable businesses?

Evidence

The university has provided financial assistance to local communities through operations under the Rajabhat strategic budget for local development and the Integrated Subdistrict Economic and Social Upgrading Project (U2T). However, VRU does not provide direct monetary support to the local communities. Rather, VRU uses the budget to prepare collaborative operations between the university and the local community and analyse available local resources and development opportunities. Regarding the operations, the university takes responsibility for providing a development plan, capital, materials, equipment and in-depth knowledge while working collaboratively with people in the local community. The ultimate goal is to assist the local communities to be able to sustainably live on their own.
