Agenda of Current Budget is to Make a Developed Country: BJP Leader Ravi Shankar Prasad

New Delhi: Senior BJP leader Ravi Shankar Prasad has said that the agenda of the current budget is to make India a developed country in the world.

Mr Prasad said all cooperative societies in Uttarakhand have been digitized and there is a provision of 6000 crore rupees for the development of fisheries in the state. He said   Uttarakhand will get 4 new nursing colleges as was announced in the Budget 2023.

Chief Minister of Odisha, Naveen Patnaik also appreciated the current budget. “I also welcome the Prime Minister’s thrust on millets. ‘Odisha Millet Mission’ is a pioneering initiative in the country and I am happy that millets have been given importance in the Budget.  The focus on new world technologies like artificial intelligence, the Internet of Things etc. is appreciable. These are some of the good aspects of the Budget. The focus on primitive tribal groups is a welcome step,” said Patnaik.

“ Now to the point which Odisha BJP always harps on. The budget provision for Ayushman Bharat ‘PMJAY’ is Rupees 7 thousand 2 hundred crores for the entire country and Odisha spends almost about Rupees2 thousand 4 hundred crores on BSKY in private facilities alone. If we include Government facilities it would be around Rupees 6 thousand crores annually under Biju Swasthya Kalyan Yojana. Health is an important priority for our State and we believe in investing and in sincere efforts,” further said Patnaik.
