While the budget strongly favours the agricultural sector, there are also a few elements that focus on the infrastructural sector and the Smart Cities.

This boost to infrastructure and Smart Cities is much needed. But what we would now like to also see is a clear roadmap on implementing this. Another key aspect that I am happy to see in this budget is the support for the Amrut program, which will focus on supplying water to all households in 500 cities.

If implemented effectively, this will create a huge social impact and help uplift the water accessibility of these communities. The allocation for education and training of 13 lakh teachers, if done well, will have a significant impact on the young in India.”
