The Budget proposals for 2021-22 rest on 6 pillars.

  • Health and Wellbeing

The Union Minister for Finance & Corporate Affairs, Smt Nirmala Sitharaman presented the Union Budget 2021-22 in Parliament which is the first budget of this new decade and also a digital one in the backdrop of unprecedented COVID-19 crisis. 

According to the Minister, Budget proposals will strengthen the Sankalp of Nation First, Doubling Farmers Income, Strong Infrastructure, Healthy India, Good Governance, Opportunities for youth, Education for All, Women Empowerment, and Inclusive Development among others. 

Additionally, also on the path to fast-implementation are the 13 promises of Budget 2015-16-which were to materialize during the AmrutMahotsav of 2022, on the 75th year of our Independence. They too resonate with this vision of Aatma Nirbharta.
