He also noted the focus on climate-friendly agricultural practices and the mission-mode production of pulses and oilseeds.
The budget aims to significantly enhance rural infrastructure and socio-economic conditions in tribal areas, with a new scheme benefiting 5 crore tribal people. Chouhan affirmed that this inclusive budget, reflecting the vision of “Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas, Sabka Prayas,” will drive India towards becoming the world’s third-largest economy.
