During his address in the assembly, Saha lauded the document’s comprehensive approach. ‘Financial prudence is key, and this budget exemplifies it,’ he stated. ‘It’s designed to uplift every societal segment—from youth and women to tribals and minorities—while aligning with PM Modi’s Atmanirbhar Bharat initiative.’

The budget’s inclusivity stands out, with tailored provisions addressing the unique needs of students, employees, pensioners, and marginalized communities. Saha noted its synchronization with the Union Budget, reinforcing national goals of economic self-sufficiency.

Drawing parallels to India’s global economic rise—from 11th to 4th position and eyeing 3rd by 2030—Saha positioned Tripura’s fiscal strategy as integral to this momentum. Key sectors like agriculture, tourism, skill development, and digital infrastructure receive boosted funding, promising job creation and enhanced living standards.

As debates conclude, the budget’s passage appears certain, buoyed by the CM’s full backing. This could mark a pivotal shift for Tripura, driving equitable prosperity and resilience in the face of regional challenges.

Under the Mahtari Vandan Yojana for women, ₹1000 per month is being provided to 70 lakh women in the state.
