Priority issues & challenges

Poorly maintained rural roads reduce connectivity, increase travel costs, and limit access to markets and public services.
2. Water Crisis
Irrigation shortages, groundwater issues, and weak water management affect agriculture and access to safe drinking water.
3. Health
Shortages of specialists, equipment, and emergency services limit healthcare access, especially in rural areas.
4. Economic and Employment
Limited industrial growth, low value addition, and fewer job opportunities contribute to unemployment and poverty.
