Lauding the Interim Budget 2024-25 as a stepping stone to make India a developed country by 2047, Union Minister Dharmendra Pradhan has said that this budget is a brilliant, forward-looking, people-centric and growth-stimulating Viksit Bharat Budget.
Pradhan also emphasized that the Budget gives further momentum to women-led development, fulfilling aspirations and furthering ease-of-living for all, green growth and employment generation. He also said that the Budget positions India for incremental all-round development across sectors.
Union Minister complimented the Finance Minister for her far-sighted vision to combine the power of youth and technology in the Viksit Bharat Budget. He said that this budget will pave the way for a golden era of research, innovation and entrepreneurship led by India’s talented Yuva Shakti.
Further, Pradhan said that the biggest announcement of this budget is the 'Jai Anusandhan' scheme for which Rs 1 lakh crore has been announced as a corpus fund, through which private entities may opt for an interest-free loan for 50 years. According to the Minister, this will directly benefit India's new generation.
