VII.  IMPACT OF GOVERNMENT POLICIES INTRODUCED IN BUDGET:

 

MSMEs had increased the employment  rate in India, as it supports all small businesses because of which it contributes significantly in the growth of GDP or growth of economy.

Aayushman digital Bharat: This policy had significantly impacted the health sector of the country, it allowed affordable, easily accessible and efficient health facilities.

PM Gatishakti: It made transportation easy and feasible which in turn increased the efficiency of different sectors and this further help us to improve our economy.

All the policies which were introduced in this budget are very good and impactful for our economy.

Way forward

In this budget government has improved many sectors but there is a need of more development in different sectors such as in electric vehicle sector there should be increase in the charging infrastructure in all over India which will encourage future generation to buy electric vehicles. And in future if it is possible I think it is good to have solar power station this will be cheaper and better for the environment as it is the renewable source of energy, and there should be also increased in hydro power plant in India.

  1. The budget 2022-23, will improve our industrial sector, by establishing many production units in our
  2. As a result it will increase export of our country which will had a positive impact on our
  3. The budget 2022-23, will make the vision of digital India clearer and
  1. I think the budget 2022-23, can be very beneficial for our environment and also for economy as our GDP (Gross domestic product) is decreasing rapidly especially after pandemic, we need quick and effective policies to tackle with this situation and I think this purpose can somewhat be accomplished in budget 2022-23.

VIII.  CONCLUSION

In this budget government has improved many sectors but there is a need of more development in different sectors such as in electric vehicle sector there should be increase in the charging infrastructure in all over India which will encourage future generation to buy electric vehicles. This budget has focused more on development of Industrial sector as it can increase our production rate, because of which we can export, more than the import, successively enhancing our economic condition, as we already know the country can improve its economy by exporting more, as the foreign money will be imported in our country.

And also this budget has focused on digital India, which I think is very beneficial for our country and for our environment. It is beneficial for our country because the more we digitalised ourselves the more it is easy to trade and connect across the world. And as I said that it is also beneficial for our environment as everything is going digital, the use of paper is becoming less which was coming from tree, and therefore it will reducing the cutting of the tree which will as a result reduce the global warming to some extent.

 At last I want to conclude that, in this budget government has improved many sectors but there is a need of more development in different sectors.
