The Pet Food has got more prominence in this forum rather than in the national press. There are many important features in this yearâs budget which deserves to be taken note of:-
Allocation for education up by 34.2%
Allocation for health and family welfare up 21.9%
Allocation for defense increased to Rs 96,000 crore.
This is not the sign of a reckless spending as predicted by Shri Dasgupta in his article in the Pioneer. At present, it is very important to address the vulnerable section of the society particularly in the rural areas. In this sector the two most important problems are illiteracy and poor health. The higher allocation for both these sectors are a very welcome sign . However, we are all aware that simply by making available funds in the budget does not mean the schemes will get implemented well in time to have their desired effort on the target area. Let us hope that these alocations will get utalised with the required planning and efficiency that it deserves.
