Tripura Chief Minister Prof. Dr. Manik Saha on Thursday said that the interim budget 2024, presented by Union Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman, reflects Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s vision of Vikshit Bharat by 2047.

Reacting to the interim budget 2024, Dr Saha mentioned that it effectively covers four major castes of the country, including the poor, women, youth, and farmers.

"In this interim budget, we see the manifestation of PM Modi’s vision and goal of a Vikshit Bharat by 2047. PM Modi has consistently emphasized the four castes of our country, which are women, farmers, the poor, and youth. This budget has been crafted with a focus on these aspects. I extend my gratitude to the Union Finance Minister and Prime Minister Narendra Modi for this Gurantee Budget," he said.

Dr Saha highlighted key initiatives in the budget, such as the installation of 1 crore solar panels on houses to promote power conservation and economic viability. He also mentioned the inclusion of ASHA and Anganwadi workers under the Ayushman Bharat Scheme.

"This is a significant development for us. The budget is commendable, addressing critical issues such as cervical cancer. Vaccination for girls aged 9-14 years is also included in the budget. Furthermore, the budget emphasizes tourism, contributing to the realization of PM Modi's vision of a developed India by 2047," he added.
