Congratulations to the Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman for presenting her seventh consecutive Budget for the fiscal year 2024-25.This is a growth oriented budget which is inclusive and catalyst for investment. The new skilling program designed to train 20 lakh youth over the next five years through industry-designed courses will foster employment opportunities to youths. The budget focuses on strengthening MSME across the country may it be by lowering the threshold for more receivable buyers on the TREDS platform or enhanced liquidity that will help MSMEs manage their working capital better. Setting up of e-commerce and export hubs through public-private partnerships to expand market reach for rural artisans and farming communities will be a game changer to boost the rural economy.
