In the 2025-2026 fiscal year’s budget of the State, provisions have been made to support the overall development of the nation by allocating funds for education. This includes stipends for students pursuing knowledge and technical skills, as well as providing allowances for teachers based on their attained degrees. Such stipends and allowances show the recognition of the government for the efforts of those students and teachers in their respective fields.

The expenses required for the expansion and establishment of agricultural and livestock universities to enhance the development of the agriculture and livestock sector. Moreover, it is also found that the expenses include the costs for the construction of roads and bridges to improve transportation and infrastructure development, including electrification.

An emergency fund of K200 billion has been allocated at the Union level for disaster prevention, rescue, and rehabilitation efforts, as well as livelihood and administrative matters for displaced persons. Moreover, K15 billion has been allocated for regions and states, including the Nay Pyi Taw Council Area.

Hence, priority must be given to conducting operations of rescue, relief and rehabilitation for earthquake victims in quake-affected areas where the Government has declared a state of emergency to provide necessary aid for the victims in time. In his speech, the Head of State said that the government has opened all possible channels to receive international assistance. Moreover, the public has been urged to provide aid as much support as possible for the ongoing rescue efforts needed due to the impact of this earthquake.

International organizations now provide relief supplies for quake victims. Search and rescue operations are being conducted in the affected areas. Efficient use of the fund must be beneficial for the victims to curb waste. If so, the lives of those victims will improve soon and they will be able to escape from the lives of victims to stand tall in society.

Now is the best time for all. So, the budget allocation of the government will flow into the relevant sectors while international donor countries and organizations will provide aid for the quake victims to improve their lives thanks to the government’s approval. Efforts of both sides are expected to leverage up the rehabilitation operations for the victims in the affected areas while this assistance needs to be granted to the people from the areas of the state of emergency indirectly. It is because not only real victims but people all over the country are suffering the impacts of the terrible earthquake.
