The interim budget for FY 2024-25 was presented on Thurs- day by the Union Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman. As anticipated, the budget neither had any big announcements nor was it a populist budget, a trend the government has followed in the last ten years. However, the government did make specific announcements with a long-term vision focusing on the goal of Viksit Bharat @ 2047. Needless to say, the vision of being a developed nation by 2047 requires measures to strengthen all aspects of the society in the ‘Amrit Kaal’. On these lines, many crucial measures have been announced in the budget speech.
