The Rajasthan Government had already hinted that this year’s Budget would be different. Rajasthan chief Minister Ashok Gehlot, also responsible for the Government’s financial department, has announced the 2023 budget of the state. It was the first time when a state’s Budget was shown live.
A lot of anticipation was there about this year’s Budget. Since the 2023 Budget is the last one of the incumbent Government, it has been a matter of excitement for all to see what the Government has in store for the people of Rajasthan. The finalisation of the Rajasthan 2023 Budget was done in the presence of additional chief secretary finance Akhil Arora, secretary of finance (Budget) Rohit Gupta, secretary of finance (Revenue) Krishna Kant Pathak, Director Brajesh Sharma, Secretary of Finance (Expenditure) Naresh Kumar.
The Government is aware of the inflation people have been facing. So, the Gehlot Government has been careful about bringing a Budget that can provide people with several social welfare schemes, securing his seat for the next tenure.
