Emphasising his idea on Atmanirbhar Bharat, PM Modi said, "It is very important for us to make a self-reliant and modern India. This Budget has several important provisions to take India forward in the direction of modernity. India's economy is expanding continuously due to the decisions taken in the last 7 years." 

"The budget has been appreciated. Before 7 years, India's GDP was Rs 1 lakh 10,000 crores but today it's about Rs 2 lakh 30,000 crores. Even the country's forex reserves have increased to $630 billion from $200 billion. All of this is due to our govt's effective policies, added PM Modi. 

PM Modi told party leaders and workers that the budget also focused on modernizing Indian agriculture with a focus on organic farming. "This will make farming more lucrative. Kisan drones and other machinery will be made available to the farmers at reasonable prices."

"The budget also focused on the development of villages at the border. NCC Centres will be brought in at schools situated at the border."
