                        First General Budget of Amrit Kaal

                          IS LEFT BEHIND




        The concept of inclusive development cannot be
        realised until the country's underprivileged are
        developed. In order to further focus on the goal of
        "reaching the last mile and the person," in the last
        8–9 years, the central government formed separate
        ministries of AYUSH, Fisheries, Animal Husbandry and
        Dairy, Skill Development, Jal Shakti, and Cooperatives.
        This year's general budget has also given priority to
        last-mile connectivity. This budget will realise the
        aspirations of today's aspirant society: village poor,
        farmer, middle class.

        implemented in 112 backward
