A budget dedicated to women, farmers, and youth sounds perfect on paper. As a working woman, I'm keen to see the details on the hostel development. Safety and affordable housing near workplaces is a huge need. Hope it delivers!

Viksit Bharat 2047 is a great vision. But with all these big announcements, my middle-class family is still worried about inflation and job security. Will this budget actually put more money in our pockets or just increase our taxes? Need to see the fine print.

The emphasis on emerging tech sectors and hostels for those fields is forward-thinking. As someone in the tech industry, creating the right infrastructure for skill development is key to competing globally. Hopeful about the opportunities mentioned.

Seven new rail corridors? That's what I'm talking about! Better connectivity can transform economies of smaller cities. Hope UP and other states get their fair share of this development. Jai Hind! 🇮🇳

Respectfully, while the vision is grand, we hear 'milestone' and 'developed India' every budget. My humble request to the government: please focus on simplifying the process for small businesses. Less talk, more actionable steps for MSMEs would be a true milestone.
