Although modest relative to the province's vast area, he affirmed that the government is effectively utilizing the entire development budget, with all projects expected to be executed by June.

To generate employment, he announced new initiatives in the upcoming fiscal budget and shared updates on the Benazir Scholarship Program for high-achieving students, children of martyrs, and laborers. Programs have also been initiated to provide job opportunities abroad and easy loans in collaboration with Akhuwat Foundation for youth entrepreneurs.
