5. Emerging Tech Clusters: District-specific technology niches such as AI City, Drones and Robotics, Engineering R&D, and Emerging Tech and Data Center Hub will be cultivated.

6. Tourism and Spiritual Tourism: Designating special tourism investment zones, enhancing tourist destinations, digitising tourism assets and routes.

7. Urbanisation and Solar Parks: Accelerating urbanisation with city beautification, constructing townships, improving water and waste management infrastructure, and establishing solar parks.
