As a farmer from Rajasthan, I'm waiting to hear concrete measures for agriculture. Water scarcity is our biggest issue. We need more than promises; we need actionable plans and funds for micro-irrigation and better MSP implementation. Jai Kisan!

The focus on Viksit Bharat is good, but I hope the budget addresses the growing urban-rural divide. Infrastructure development shouldn't just be about metros and expressways; our villages need better roads, healthcare, and internet connectivity too.

Watching from abroad, it's impressive to see India's consistent fiscal planning. The 'bahi-khata' tradition is a nice touch blending modernity with heritage. Hoping for policies that boost green energy and tech innovation to attract more global investment.

Ninth consecutive budget by FM Sitharaman! That's historic. Expecting big pushes for manufacturing and job creation. The youth need opportunities, not just schemes. Lowering income tax slabs would put more money in the hands of the common man and boost the economy.

While the vision is grand, the execution at the ground level in states like Rajasthan often falters. Hope this budget allocates specific, monitored funds for drought-prone areas and ensures they reach the intended beneficiaries. Accountability is key.
