Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman on Tuesday (July 23) said the Union Budget 2024-2025 reflects the Centre’s sustained efforts for ‘Viksit Bharat’ (developed India). She announced the prime minister’s package of five schemes for employment, skilling and other opportunities and said the government’s focus is on four major classes – the poor, women, youth and farmers.
“People of India have reinforced their faith in the government led by PM Narendra Modi and re-elected it for the third term. India’s economic growth continues to shine while the global economy is still in the grip of policy uncertainty,” she said, while presenting her seventh consecutive budget, breaking the record of former prime minister Morarji Desai.
