00:00Today, the budget of the central government, or any government, whether it is the budget of the central government or the budget of the state government,

00:07through that budget, the government has to prepare the road map for the future and through that it has to give a direction to the development of the country.

00:19If I talk about today's budget, then this budget is focused on women, on youth, on the poor,

00:31so that today our central government can move forward with a very high goal.

00:40Today's government is seeing 2047. In 2047, our country will be in the hands of developed nations.

00:49So, how will the land of that developed nation be prepared?

00:54With that land, from today, through this budget, an Aadhaar Bhuta Samrachana has been made.

01:02And we feel that it will have a positive impact on the country.

01:07If I talk about the youth of any country, the backbone of the economy is the youth.

01:18How can the youth get employment? How can the youth develop their skills?

01:25How can the government help financially in the education and writing of the youth?

01:30With all these things, the government has made some arrangements in its budget.

01:37On the other hand, if I look at urban development, the government has also focused on urban development.

01:44If we talk about the field of medicine, when a person is healthy, the society will be healthy and when the society is healthy, the nation will be healthy.

01:57So, even to fight cancer, the government is giving a positive impact to the citizens of the country through this budget.

02:10So, we feel that this is a good way to show the country.

02:14As far as employment is concerned, not every person born in India can get government employment.

02:22A person can get government employment.

02:26A person can get employment in the private sector.

02:30A person can develop his skills and start all kinds of start-ups.

02:39So, in this budget, let me tell you, about 5 crore jobs have been talked about.

02:47Approximately 5 crore jobs have been talked about.

02:501 crore youths will get skilled development through internships.

02:58And there is a provision of 5,000 rupees per month.

03:01So, the government is trying to do a lot in the field of employment.

03:05And we also have to think that not everyone can get government employment.

03:09If you want employment, there is a private sector.

03:12You can develop your skills.

03:14You can start a start-up.

03:16And in this way, you can develop your economy.

03:19And when you develop your economy, the economy will also develop.

03:25Without your development, the development of the country is not possible.

03:28So, along with government employment, there are private jobs.

03:31Along with private jobs, skill development is also an important role.

03:36If we talk about 1 crore jobs, 5 crore jobs, then half the population is also included in that.

03:42Without that population, no development can be done.

03:45The skill development of 1 crore, the internship of 1 crore, half the population is also included in that.

03:52So, half the population, everyone is included in this.

03:55Half the population, the entire population, including the entire economy.

03:58And this budget will have a negative effect on the economy.

04:03There will not be a single budget in the economy.

04:05You see, see from the beginning.

04:07Since the independence of India, from the independence of India till today,

04:12in the entire budget, there is a focus on poverty.

04:16There is a focus on youth.

04:18There is a focus on villages.

04:19So, we are coming from there.

04:21And every year, we are achieving something.

04:24Every year, we are taking some steps forward.

04:26And the road map that is being tried to make by India till 2047,

04:32this is a good budget.

04:34This is a good budget.

04:35We have to take it forward.

04:37You understand the system.

04:39The education system that we have,

04:42we have to look at two types of systems.

04:45One is the system of the rich class,

04:49and the other class which is far away from those resources.

04:53So, for the rich class, education is not a problem.

04:57No matter how the child is,

04:59they invest on it.

05:01They teach it anywhere in the country.

05:03There is no problem for them.

05:05But the government's focus is on the children of the poor class.

05:10How to raise the students of the poor class?

05:13Because of the wealth, because of the financial situation of the family,

05:18if there is any obstacle in their education,

05:22for that, the education loan,

05:25this 3%,

05:27it is probably 3%,

05:29it has been tried to do this on 3%

05:31that the children of the poor

05:33take a loan,

05:35take a cheap loan and do their education.

05:37And after that, when their education is done,

05:39they will also move forward in the development of the country.

05:42They will also develop. The country will also develop.

05:44It is a uniform budget.

05:45It is a budget that gives direction to the country.

05:47And we feel that the dream of the central government of 2047,

05:52it is being tried to give it a foundation.

05:56The four pillars of any country,

06:00keeping these four in mind,

06:02I feel that a budget has been prepared.

06:04This is the budget of the third government of the Modi government.

06:08The seventh budget was presented by Nirmala Sitharaman Madam,

06:12which I feel has been done by any minister,

06:14most of it has been done by her.

06:16The special things that I found in this,

06:19the four things that I told you,

06:21like there is a lot of talk about employment,

06:24so for those who will get employment,

06:26the government will continuously deposit some amount,

06:29like 300 rupees in their PF for two years.

06:32I feel that it will work for motivation,

06:34for other people,

06:35maybe they will be able to make an effort.

06:37Now you all know about the National Education Policy,

06:40and in that, the gross enrollment ratio of higher education was very low.

06:43I think it was around 27% at that time.

06:46Its target of 50% has been kept till 2030.

06:50Now how to increase the number in higher education,

06:53for that the government has,

06:55people have studied in good institutions,

06:57so in higher education institutions,

06:59to study in the country,

07:00a loan of up to 10 lakh rupees,

07:02an education loan has been prepared by the government.

07:05I feel that this is a very good step in the field of education.

07:10As you know,

07:12along with education,

07:14if the skill is not developed,

07:16then maybe their personality will not be fully groomed,

07:19and they will not be able to achieve their goal.

07:23For skill training,

07:25the government has allocated 2 lakh crore rupees

07:29to train 1.4 crore youth in this budget,

07:33and I think this will prove to be a milestone.

07:37In the coming time,

07:39five schemes whose focus will be education, employment and education,

07:444.1 crore youth will be given training.

07:49I feel this is a youth-focused budget.

07:54Along with this,

07:55if you see,

07:57if a youth goes to any company for education,

08:02he looks for an internship.

08:04A target has been set in this budget,

08:06that in the coming time,

08:09in the next year,

08:11the maximum number of youth will be given an internship in 500 sheets companies.

08:18They will do the internship in the sheets companies,

08:21and they will be given Rs. 5000 per month as internship remuneration.

08:26I feel this is a very big thing in itself.

08:29I was talking about the poor.

08:31Under the Prime Minister's housing scheme,

08:333 crore extra houses have also been allocated in this budget.

08:38A new tax lab has also been provided.

08:41We were expecting more,

08:44but it did not happen.

08:46Still, the standard deduction has been increased from Rs. 50,000 to Rs. 75,000.

08:50The 5% tax has been increased by Rs. 1 lakh.

08:54This has been done,

08:56but it should have been done a little more.

08:58It would have been better,

08:59but it has been done after understanding it.

09:01Along with this,

09:02as you know,

09:03the Prime Minister had said that

09:05he puts a lot of emphasis on technology.

09:07He said that IT plus IT is equal to IT.

09:10If we combine information technology with Indian talent,

09:13India will be ready for the future.

09:16So, mobile will be used more.

09:19As you know,

09:20UPI has been the most successful in our country,

09:23according to the scheme.

09:25A 15% reduction in mobile and mobile chargers

09:29has been made in this budget.

09:32I feel this is also a very good step.

09:35Whatever it is,

09:36whether it is online education or anything else,

09:38we cannot do anything without mobile.

09:40So, in total,

09:41the budget will help a lot

09:43in the concept of a developed India

09:46by the Prime Minister.

09:48It will benefit from youth to every class.

09:51As you know,

09:53unemployment is the biggest problem

09:55and also a challenge for the government.

09:57But in this budget,

09:59under the Prime Minister's package,

10:02some schemes are being started

10:04which are mainly focused on employment.

10:07So, I feel that in this budget,

10:09special measures have been taken

10:11regarding employment

10:12and in the future,

10:13it will benefit the youth a lot.
