The priorities

Where we want to make a difference

These priorities set out the direction of the work. Individual projects should be assessed against clear plans, budgets and evidence of delivery.

Education & skills

Education should prepare people to participate in the economy they want to build. The focus is on practical learning from school through to technical training, higher education and research.

Digital and STEM learning
Job-linked technical training
University research and innovation
Stronger health sciences education

Health

Quality care depends on people, equipment, medicines and coordinated services. Strengthening the whole care pathway can reduce the distance families travel for diagnosis and treatment.

Primary care and hospital capacity
Training and retaining health workers
Diagnostics and essential medicines
Telemedicine and referral systems

Jobs & innovation

Young people need more routes from learning to meaningful work. That means supporting entrepreneurs and existing businesses with skills, finance, mentors and access to customers.

Startup and innovation support
University and industry collaboration
Small business digital adoption
Finance and market connections

Agriculture

Progress in agriculture should be measured by what farmers earn. Better irrigation, storage, processing and routes to market can help producers retain more value locally.

Reliable irrigation and appropriate tools
Crop risk protection
Cold storage and collection
Processing, branding and market access

Infrastructure & connectivity

Infrastructure matters because of what it connects: a patient to care, a student to school, a farmer to a buyer and a business to new markets.

Strategic roads and bridges
Airport and regional links
Border and trade facilities
Reliable digital connectivity

Industry & energy

Sudurpaschim can build more value by producing and processing locally. Energy, infrastructure and investment can support enterprises that create jobs across the region.

Agro-processing and food production
Renewable energy opportunities
Light manufacturing
IT and digital services

Tourism & trade

Natural landscapes, culture and proximity to India offer genuine possibilities. Destinations need safe access, basic facilities and coordinated promotion so tourism supports local livelihoods.

Visitor infrastructure
Religious and cultural circuits
Nature and adventure tourism
Cross-border market connections

Digital government

People should be able to see what was proposed, funded, delivered and achieved. Better data and accessible services can help communities take part and hold decisions to account.

Connected public data
Accessible digital services
Project and budget transparency
Progress measured by outcomes
