Union Budget 2010 – Union Budget 2010 Highlights – Pranab Mukherjee Introduced 2010-2011 Union Budgets

Friday, February 26, 2010

Today, on 26th February Pranab Mukherjee introduced Union Budget 2010. Union Budget 2010 highlights were really very attractive but the essence of the budget is still not able to fulfill common men needs. Pranab Mukherjee started his 2010-2011 union budget speech in Parliament at 11 AM.

Rs. 3.75 lakh crore for agricultural debt

2020 vision for the Ganga

Highlights of 2010-2011 Union budgets present some good data but they are surly not for common men. In the budget, government already has announced that there is need to review packages. We already have seen the results of NAREGA. There is no control on the price raise. On the one hand, Pranab Mukherjee introduced 2010-2011budgets and on the other hand, prices of petrol and diesel raises from today. What do you think? Does the budget fulfill the need of common men or it is only for industrialists or investors? Are there any differences between 2010-2011 Union budgets and Rail Budget 2010-2011?
