The defence of the country (Swarajya) should be given highest priority through a
network of well garrisoned land and marine forts, a strong army and a navy. In
view of peculiar geographical features of Maharashtra specially kokan region this
was the best means of protecting the land from hostile powers.

All posts were to be filled on the basis of merit and not heredity, caste or religion.

Revenue collection was to be direct, i.e. by the state, through its own agencies
and departments and through middleman of any type.

During war and in course of raids in the enemy territory the women, children and
religion places were not to suffer any harm or damage.
