Agricultural Reforms begin in Malivia; An effort to keep the countryside loyal.

As Navin Arthashastra continues on, Amaro Drom has always branded itself as a populist party (even if it is authoritarian and anti democratic), a populist party that prioritizes the rural common folk over the urban elite. However, over the years, rural economies have fallen behind considerably compared to their urban counterparts. Now with economic reforms occuring, the conversation has opened for potential rural reforms to keep rural economies alive, and keep support in the countryside. As such, Bhate has signaled intents to begin proper rural redevelopment. The first step is a nation wide effort to improve water management. New reservoirs, irrigation canals, pumping stations, groundwater management, and rural water infrastructure are keystone projects being enacted to support the countryside.
For the biggest rural industry, agriculture however, more must be done. While it's certainly expensive, mechanisation of the agricultural industry must occur. As such, farmers will be allowed to rent tractors, harvesters, seed drills, irrigation equipment and fertilizer spreaders from the state. Alongside this, providing low interest seasonal loans and equipment financing.
To improve wider countryside support and economic development however, a focus has been shifted on expanding rural electrification and infrastructure, such as roads, bridges, grain storages, and the like. While many view this as a cynical attempt to maintain rural loyalty to Amaro Drom, it's been welcomed by rural communities across Maliviya. Politically however, Bhate has essentially put a bandaid on the worse of the bleeding, as rural communities face widespread problems. Something that makes more radical elements more appealing to Malivians who oppose the Malivian Democratic League and Amaro Drom. Whatever the case, conservatives within the party have largely kept support of Bhate and his reforms for the time being, but have warned that neglecting rural communities in favour of "urban elites" will only cause more problems for Maliviya in the future. But until then, rural communities can celebrate for receiving some support after so long of none.
