Congratulating Finance Minister, Nirmala Sitharaman for presenting an innovative and development-oriented budget, the CM said that in the coming time, the budget will provide a vision for making agriculture more profitable, strengthening the economy, accelerating industrial development, and creating employment opportunities.
He stated that the budget emphasises promoting agricultural research for 32 agricultural and 109 horticultural varieties of crops suitable to the climate. This will greatly benefit Haryana, an agriculture-dominated state. Similarly, the provision of assisting one crore farmers for natural farming is commendable.
