The policies also aim to ease the impacts of the looming drought affecting many provinces, as proposed by Deputy Prime Minister Somkid Jatusripitak, and step up constitutional amendment.
Earlier, Deputy Prime Minister Wissanu Krea-ngam said solving bread-and-butter issues that affect people's daily lives would take top priority among the 12 urgent issues.
The new cabinet, which was sworn in on July 16, has received full support from armed forces.
