The towns will consist of a Super Market, Pharmacy, Medical Facilities, Agricultural requirements, Retail Store, Research Centre, Commercial Farmers Training Centre, schools and other facilities ensuring a first world town environment. The Agro-processing Industry, for all products produced in the Region, will be established in the Industrial Areas of all Towns.
