The Union Budget 2021-22 delivered and presented by Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman on 1 February 2021 has something for everyone. It was her third budget. This year’s budget was much awaited by every Indian, as it revolves around relief and recovery from last year, and the losses due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
The Union budget this year stands on six pillars, namely health and well-being, physical and financial capital and infrastructure, inclusive development for aspirational India, reinvigorating human capital, innovation and R&D and ‘Minimum Government and Maximum Governance’.
After watching the two-hour-long budget presentation, my observation is that the government is on the right track in its efforts to swiftly bring the Indian economy back to normalcy.
