Haat bazaars will be developed for the sale of Bihar's products. He stated that a target has been set to create employment and employment opportunities for one crore youths in the next five years.

He stated that public-private partnerships will be promoted in the state's new medical colleges and hospitals for better education and treatment. Arrangements will be made for separate incentives for doctors and a policy to ban private practice of government doctors to ensure better medical facilities in remote rural areas.

Under this, the expansion of urban areas and urban amenities will be strengthened in the state. Along with this, new modern planned cities will be developed, and arrangements will be made for affordable housing for urban poor. Five new expressway roads will be constructed for better connectivity in cities, and rural roads will be widened to two lanes in phases. In addition, the power-related infrastructure will be strengthened, and solar panels will be installed on the roofs of the houses of all willing individuals to promote the use of solar energy.
