Cheers echoed through Bhilwara as locals showered praise on Finance Minister Diya Kumari’s 2026-27 Rajasthan budget. Aimed at realizing a developed state vision, the budget’s people-friendly provisions have sparked optimism across demographics.
‘Diya Kumari has delivered a historic budget,’ exclaimed textile magnate Sunil Verma. The sanctioning of the elevated road for Bhilwara stood out as a key win, addressing chronic congestion issues and paving the way for industrial expansion.
In education, the creation of a high-caliber state testing agency rivaling NTA was a standout proposal. College-goer Meera Rathore called it ‘a vital reform for merit-based opportunities.’
The pledge of 100,000 new public jobs, coupled with concessional loans for employees and mental health initiatives, drew raves from job seekers. ‘This tackles unemployment and promotes emotional resilience,’ noted activist Pooja Desai.
Student welfare got a boost via e-vouchers enabling purchases of laptops and study aids, plus the ‘Dream Program’ for career counseling. Taxpayers appreciated the move to digitize Rajasthan State GST Tribunal cases, promising quicker resolutions.
Bhilwara’s enthusiastic response highlights how the budget balances ambition with accessibility, setting a solid foundation for Rajasthan’s future prosperity.
