• Swasthya (Health): Guaranteeing superior healthcare services and upholding high standards of medical care.
• Samriddhi (Prosperity): Promoting economic prosperity through quality assurance in manufacturing and industrial practices.
• Sushasan (Governance): Ensuring transparent, accountable, and responsive governance.
