The SFLM system for medical colleges is a much-needed step! Our government hospitals need better management systems. Hope it improves the experience for both students and patients. 👍

Storm water diversion for Gurugram is critical. The city floods every monsoon. Hope the DPR is prepared quickly and work starts before the next rainy season. Enough of delays on this issue.

While the intent seems positive, I hope there is transparency in these large procurements. A public portal showing project status, contractors, and expenditure would build real trust. The 'judicious use of funds' promise needs to be backed by action.

Approving over 1000 crores in one meeting! The scale is huge. Hope the quality of PCC poles and transformers is good this time. Last time, sub-standard materials were a big issue in our area.

The supplementary nutrition programme approval is good news. Ensuring quality food for children and mothers should always be a priority. Hope the 'Har-Hith' project reaches the remotest villages effectively.
