Union Minister Sukanta Majumdar is likely to make a statement regarding status of implementation of recommendations and observations contained in the 250th report of the department-related parliamentary standing committee on Home Affairs on action taken by the government on the recommendations and observations contained in the 243rd report of the committee on demands for grants (2023-24) of the Ministry of Development of North Eastern Region. Both Houses of <keyword id="19895397" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Parliament" source="keywords">Parliament</keyword> took up discussion on the <keyword id="15626720" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="union-budget-2024" source="Orion">Union Budget 2024</keyword> on July 24, with opposition parties accusing it of being "discriminatory" to most states and lacking vision. The discussion was initiated by former Finance Minister and Congress MP P Chidambaram in Rajya Sabha and Congress MP Kumari Selja initiated the discussion in Lok Sabha. Raising four major challenges, Chidambaram said the most significant challenge is unemployment and data released by the Centre for Monitoring Indian Economy (CMIE) indicates that the unemployment rate for June 2024 is 9.2 per cent . Chidambaram emphasised that the primary challenge for the economy is creating sufficient employment opportunities. He pointed out that the budget's announcement of the employment-linked incentives (ELI) scheme suggests that the Production Linked Incentives (PLI) scheme is not generating the expected employment. He urged the finance minister to disclose the number of jobs created by the PLI scheme. Radha Mohan Das Aggarwal of the BJP highlighted the achievements made by the government led by Prime Minister Narendra Modi in the last ten years. He said the Jan Dhan Yojana has provided banking services to crores of people in the country. Biplab Kumar Deb of the BJP said the Economic Survey has estimated real GDP growth of 6.5 per cent to 7 per cent in 2024-25. He highlighted the provisions in the budget for various sections, including farmers and the education sector. Trinamool Congress MP Abhishek Banerjee launched a strong attack on the Modi government, alleging that the Union Budget lacks clarity or vision, that it has been rolled out to satisfy the coalition partners of the BJP and that it "was planned by two individuals to keep another two in good faith." The budget session of Parliament began on July 22 and, according to schedule, will end on August 12.

Indian government will aid J&K’s children who lost a parent to naxal or terror attacks

Srinagar, Feb 1 (PTI) National Conference (NC) on Tuesday termed the Union budget 2022-23 a "blend of sophistry and wordplay", saying it left stakeholders in Jammu and Kashmir "excluded and ignored". The budget steered clear of Jammu and Kashmir and left unaddressed issues confronting working classes and small businesses, NC spokesperson Imran Nabi Dar said. "The budget has failed to tackle the problems of unemployment, and inflation. "This budget will only increase inequality and leave the largest section of our population including unemployed youth, artisans, agriculturalists, horticulturalists, marginal traders, tourism players, and transporters vulnerable than ever," he said. Dar said the budget is also oblivious to the pressing need for increase in spending on infrastructure, such as health, utility services, and education. "It has disappointed Kashmir Inc, which were hoping for relief in the times of pandemic. The annual finance statement is mute on rehabilitation and sustenance package for daily wagers, unorganised labour class. "The Union government has chosen to turn a blind eye to recapitalising of the limping MSME and other small scale industries in J-K, which stands battered by the successive clampdowns, COVID-induced lockdowns since 2019," said Dar. He said the government has "failed" to accelerate work on road and tunnel projects in Jammu and Kashmir. He said the budget also overlooked the need for allocations for the construction of Dessan-Kapran, Simthan, and Sadhna pass tunnels, as well as additional allocations needed for CRF to facilitate improvement in road connectivity. The NC spokesperson said the ruling government in New Delhi is only "using" Jammu and Kashmir as "a vote-minting entity to claw its way back to power in elections after elections". PTI SSB VN VN
