It emphasizes digital accessibility and innovation, offering zero percent loans for IT equipment, transitioning to electronic government publications, and integrating AI tools. Education is prioritized with free pre-primary and tertiary education, increased funding for special needs, and improved school infrastructure. Energy access and affordability are enhanced through Agri-voltaic and solar PV projects. Food security is addressed via grants and tax exemptions for farmers, breeders, and fishers.
