Rajasthan Chief Minister Bhajan Lal Sharma has hailed Union Budget 2026-27 as a strong declaration of building a new and self-reliant India that appropriately takes care of each and every citizen.
He said the budget will strengthen India’s status in the world and place Rajasthan in the mainstream of national development.
Addressing a media conference here Monday afternoon, Sharma stated that the budget that is specifically dedicated to women, youths, kisans, and the poor clearly reflected the resolve of Prime Minister Narendra Modi-led government for self-reliant economy and the Viksit Bharat 2047.
This sacred document also established the “Sabka Saath – Sabka Vikas” plank as the “principal policy of this government,” he said adding, “This budget would give a big boost to employment generation, facilitate skill development and setting up Start-ups for the youths.
One of the laudable announcements for youth is the making 1 lakh professionals in Radiology and Optometry and 1.5 lakh caregivers, he pointed out.
Besides, youths opting for careers in the tourism sector would be facilitated training in the top institutions and establishments, and Lakhpati Didi Scheme has also been facilitating empowerment of women in their respective trades, Sharma noted.
Girls hostels would be opened in all 41 districts of Rajasthan, hospitals – health centre infrastructure and facilities would be upgraded, 5 regional health hubs would be developed in the state, the Chief Minister added.
The budget also provides a big impetus to the manufacturing sector and livelihood avenues for workers in Bio-Pharma, Chemical, Textiles, Handloom and Handicrafts.
Allocation of Rs 40,000 crore India Semi Conductor Mission 2.0, National Quantum Mission and Research and Development Funds are also laudable in the budget, Sharma said.
