Sadar Namaskar,

The New Union Budget of the new decade is historic as it unveils
a series of far-reaching reforms aimed at stimulating the pandemic
affected economy. While the latest Economic Survey predicts a

V-shaped recovery, the Budget focuses on further intensifying the
economic growth.

Structured on the mantra of ‘Sabka Saath Sabka Vikas’, the Budget
rests on 6 pillars – Health and Wellbeing, Physical & Financial Capital
and Infrastructure, Inclusive Development for Aspirational India,
Reinvigorating Human Capital, Innovation and R&D and Minimum
Government and Maximum Governance.

Learning from the COVID-19 pandemic, the Government is laying
a lot of importance on health and wellness. It is probably for the first

time that the healthcare sector has featured so prominently in any
Budget. It is being said that the Budget will act as a vaccine injecting
confidence in the country to be self-reliant.

Keep writing your feedback to us with the same affection and trust...
