Emphasizing the budget’s forward-looking vision, PM Modi assured, “This interim budget is inclusive and innovative. It has confidence of continuity. It will empower all 4 pillars of Viksit Bharat- Yuva, Garib, Mahila and Kisan. This Budget gives the guarantee of making India a developed nation by 2047.”

We aim to have 3 crore ‘Lakhpati Didis’ now. ASHA and Aganwadi workers will also get the benefit of the Ayushman Bharat scheme.”

Highlighting the increased capital expenditure, PM Modi remarked, “In this budget, keeping fiscal deficit under control, capital expenditure has been given a historic high of ₹11,11,111 Crore.
