- Implement waste management systems to promote cleanliness and environmental sustainability within the upgraded slum areas.
- Quality Education Opportunities:
- Establish or upgrade educational facilities, including schools and vocational training centers, to enhance access to quality education for children and adults alike.
- Implement programs to improve literacy rates and provide skill development opportunities to empower residents for better employment prospects.
- Accessible Healthcare Services:
