We are optimistic about the government’s initiatives aimed at empowering youth, boosting agricultural productivity, and enhancing women’s participation in the workforce. These measures are crucial for promoting inclusive growth and fostering a conducive environment for business growth. The emphasis on increasing Minimum Support Prices for farmers, extending welfare schemes like PM Garib Kalyan Anna Yojana, and launching significant youth employment schemes with a ₹2 lakh crore allocation over five years demonstrates proactive steps to stimulate economic activity. The focus on agricultural productivity, skill development linked to employment, and promoting women’s workforce participation through targeted initiatives is expected to create favorable conditions for sustained business innovation and growth. Overall, the budget provides a solid foundation for economic stability and progress, aligning well with corporate goals for a dynamic and inclusive economy.”
