Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman's Budget proposals lay out a comprehensive road map for transforming India into a developed nation, focusing on key priorities that aim to generate ample opportunities for all citizens in "Viksit Bharat".
It sets the stage for sustained economic growth, social development, and technological advancement.
The government's focus on employment and skilling is at the heart of this ambitious plan. Three innovative employmentlinked incentive schemes have been introduced to encourage job creation, particularly for firsttimer in the manufacturing sector. A new centrally sponsored skilling programme aims to train 2 million youth over five years, aligning their skills with industry needs and emerging technologies. These approaches show a strong commitment to not only creating job opportunities but also ensuring that India's workforce is well-prepared for the challenges of a rapidly evolving global economy.
