Discussions included the PM Gati Shakti Bharatmala Project, the Jaipur–Nabarangpur–Junagadh–Nabarangpur railway connections, and other related infrastructure initiatives. Guidance was given on simplifying loan disbursement under the Mudra Scheme.
Concerns were raised about internet connectivity in the district: many Panchayats do not have proper internet access, which hampers the implementation of digital initiatives.
