Huge hike in Punjab’s farm spending [1]

Budget proposals include increase in outlays for education and social security measures for youth

Even as he announced major increases in outlays for education, agriculture, social security and programmes for the youth, Punjab's new Finance Minister Parminder Singh Dhindsa in his maiden Budget speech in the State Assembly here on Wednesday came up with proposals that left Rs.3,123.31 crore as revenue deficit and Rs.8,923.92 crore as fiscal deficit. The State would also require at least Rs.2000 crore more to implement its Rs.14,000-crore Annual Plan for the 2012-13 fiscal.
