• Reconstruction and Development Programme (1994): aspects of Keynesian economics, which were then abandoned due to the lack of success
• Established (in 1994) to address inequalities and improve economy, and focused on local development projects: healthcare, welfare, education, housing (built thousands of new houses in rural and urban areas)
