Youth, Infrastructure and Industry by Focus of Dr Raman Singh's Budget for Chhattisgarh: Press Release

Abstract

Presenting the State’s budget for 2015-16, Dr Raman Singh, Chief Minister of Chhattisgarh, redefined the priorities of his government. The expenditure budget of Rs. 65,013 crore is a whopping increase of 18% over last year's revised expenditure estimates. Dr Singh expressed gratitude to the Prime Minister for reposing his confidence in States and realising the ideal of cooperative federalism in both letter and spirit. The additional resources on account of the 14th Finance Commission devolution and receipt from coal block auction has boosted the kitty of State's own resources, which Dr Singh proposed to utilise productively in further engendering the wealth of the State, both physical and human.
