Crucially, the budget affirms the government's unwavering dedication to the welfare of its citizens. It extends the olive branch of financial stability by maintaining income tax rates, thereby benefiting 1 crore taxpayers. The fabric of social security is woven tighter with the extension of Ayushman Bharat benefits to all Asha and Anganwadi workers, a gesture emblematic of the government's resolve towards holistic healthcare.
In the realm of education, the budget heralds a new dawn, with youth empowerment at its core. Changes in the National Education Policy signal a paradigm shift, fostering an environment conducive to intellectual growth and innovation. Moreover, the augmentation of women's entrepreneurship by 28% underscores the government's commitment to gender equality and economic empowerment.
