With the negotiations for Dominion Status grinding slowly forward, Adav shifted his focus to the internal architecture of the future nation. He couldn't wait for formal independence; the groundwork had to be laid now. His vision of Svarajya was not merely political freedom, but the creation of a hyper-efficient, technologically advanced, and economically self-sufficient state.
He established, in secret, the "National Development Board" (NDB), funded entirely by Bharat Corporation and staffed by his most brilliant recruits from the Ghadarite network and promising young Indian professionals. Ostensibly a private think tank, the NDB was in fact the shadow government of the future. Adav, as its unseen chairman, began mapping every resource, every river, every potential industrial site in India using the Codex's [Geographical Mapping] and [Resource Analysis] modules.
His immediate priority was infrastructure. While the British had built railways for their own extractive purposes, Adav envisioned a dense, integrated network of roads, improved canals, and eventually, electric grids that would crisscross the subcontinent, connecting his burgeoning industries and agricultural hubs. He initiated clandestine surveys, stockpiled construction materials through Bharat Corporation, and even began training legions of Indian engineers and technicians in modern construction methods.
Education was another critical pillar. Adav secretly funded vocational schools and technical institutes, focusing on skills vital for industrial growth: metallurgy, electrical engineering, advanced chemistry, and even rudimentary computer science principles (though disguised as "advanced logical analysis" for the time). He was building the human capital for his future empire, ensuring that the new India would not only be free but also intelligently managed. Every brick laid, every student trained, was a silent investment in the sovereign future Adav was meticulously engineering.
