The Rajasthan government will present the annual Budget for the financial year 2026–27 on Tuesday. Deputy Chief Minister and Finance Minister Diya Kumari will table the Budget in the State Legislative Assembly at 11 am, marking her third consecutive presentation.
Expectations have been expressed that the Budget may be larger than last year’s and could include new relief measures for the general public.
Through the Budget speech, the government may announce new schemes and economic opportunities for youth, women and farmers. The move is being viewed as aimed at strengthening the state’s development trajectory and improving the standard of living of citizens.
According to sources, the size of this year’s Budget may be around Rs 6 lakh crore. The previous Budget was Rs 5.37 lakh crore. The increase indicates that the government may have resources available for development, social welfare and investment promotion.
Employment Generation and Skill Development
The Budget is expected to place special emphasis on employment generation and skill development for youth. The government may issue a new recruitment calendar, potentially increasing opportunities for government jobs.
Skill training programmes and measures to increase private sector investment may also be included to expand employment opportunities for young people. The step is aimed at reducing unemployment and promoting self-reliance among the youth.
Schemes for Women
The Rajasthan government may announce several new schemes for women in the Budget. These may include an increase in pension schemes, programmes providing financial assistance to women and initiatives related to health security.
Provisions may also be made for education, maternal and child health, and the expansion of employment opportunities for women.
Relief for Farmers
The Budget may include significant announcements for the agriculture sector. These may cover crop insurance, subsidies on agricultural equipment and investment in irrigation projects.
Measures may also be taken under food security schemes to provide necessary resources and assistance in rural areas.
Health and Social Security
Investment may be proposed for the expansion of health services, including new hospitals, medical equipment and health centres in rural areas.
Social security schemes for senior citizens and other needy sections may also be enhanced.
