Glad to see emphasis on women's empowerment and recognizing 'mother power'! 🎉 Many self-help groups in Uttarakhand are doing amazing work with local crafts and agriculture. If the budget provides genuine market linkages and skill upgrades, it can be transformative for rural women.

41 hours of discussion sounds good for democracy, but what were the key opposition suggestions that were incorporated? A budget "keeping everyone in mind" should reflect some bipartisan input. The youth need concrete job creation, not just promises of innovation.

The focus on tourism and investment is smart. Uttarakhand has incredible potential as an eco-tourism and adventure hub. Improving infrastructure and digital services will attract more visitors and create local jobs. Hope they also prioritize sustainable development to protect the fragile Himalayan ecology.

"Best state in the country" is a bold vision. For that, we need to fix basic issues first: better roads in the hills, reliable electricity, and quality healthcare. Budgets are about priorities. Let's see if the allocation matches the grand statements. Jai Uttarakhand! 🙏

As a recent graduate from Haldwani, I really hope the provisions for youth employment lead to actual opportunities here in the state. Too many of us are forced to migrate to Delhi or Bangalore. Skill development is good, but we need industries and startups to employ those skills locally.
