Union Budget 2026 is an inclusive budget that ensures continuity of structural reforms and long-term stability and growth at its core. In line with #VikshitBharat2047 it supports rural economic growth through emphasis on supporting high-value crops, promotion of allied sectors like animal husbandry, textiles and tourism, while furthering rural infrastructure and technology support. Initiatives like Bharat Vistar, Skill development, introduction of She Marts, girls’ hostels in every taluka are meaningful steps that would enable wider participation in India’s economic growth story. Scaling manufacturing and introduction of ISM 2.0 further reinforces India’s AtmaNirbhar manufacturing ambitions.
