Social welfare, employment generation too given emphasis in ₹1,359.59-crore Budget
The city Corporation’s ₹1,359.59-crore Budget for the financial year 2020-21, with a projected surplus of ₹130.77 crore, lays almost equal stress on waste management, infrastructure and social welfare, with a few projects intended at job creation too.
However, the first Budget of the new administration is not very forthcoming on steps to improve revenue collection.
The Budget, presented by Deputy Mayor P.K. Raju on Thursday, contains 117 projects, some of them continuations of ongoing projects. The newly launched waste management campaign ‘Anicheraam Azhakaarnnoru Ananthapurikkayi’ (Let us come together for a beautiful Thiruvananthapuram) is allotted ₹10 crore.
