Drinking Water, Primary Health Care for all, Universalisation of Primary Education, Housing
for the Shelterless poor, Connectivity to all unconnected villages and habitations, Nutrition
and Streamlining the Public Distribution System with a focus on the poor.

services in order to focus on certain priority areas of the Government. The ACA for PMGY
