Additionally, the "Fund Rehabilitation and Revolving Capital Injection Measure (Second Million-Baht Injection)" involves accelerating the disbursement of 3.4 billion baht in leftover 2012 budget. The government has ordered the restoration of overlooked village funds to prepare for injecting an additional 1 million baht revolving fund per village fund, to be completed within 2026.

The main goal of both measures is to inject capital into grassroots systems, enabling the public easier access to formal financial sources and reducing dependence on informal debts. This is alongside efforts to create sustainable livelihoods and income for community strength. Village fund members interested in participating can check details and further information with their local village fund chairpersons starting immediately.
