Provisions for internal security were described as encompassing investment in personnel support, training and modernisation of equipment together with measures to strengthen police infrastructure and judicial processes. The budget foregrounded capital expenditure for construction of barracks, forensic laboratories and district courts, together with allocation for information technology upgrades to improve law enforcement responsiveness. Financial planning emphasised maintaining fiscal discipline while meeting the immediate requirements of public safety and order.

Health priorities included expansion of hospital capacity, upgrading of primary health centres and enhancement of maternal and child health services, along with investment in diagnostic networks and emergency response systems. The proposals encompassed targeted support for public health programmes and strengthening of supply chains for essential medicines and equipment. Officials indicated that improved healthcare infrastructure would be pursued alongside training of medical personnel and efforts to ensure equitable access in less-served districts.

Infrastructure commitments focused on roads, bridges, urban transport and water supply projects intended to bolster economic activity and improve connectivity for commerce and daily life. The budget document outlined plans to expedite ongoing projects and initiate new schemes that were expected to generate employment and facilitate trade across districts. Implementation was to be monitored through periodic reviews and coordination between state departments, with the government signalling a balance between development spending and long term fiscal sustainability.
