Budget 2022 Reflects Vision For Inclusive Development, Says Piyush Goyal | Highlights

Expert’s reaction on Budget 2022: Navneet Ravikar, Chairman & Managing Director, Leads Connect Services, said, "Knowing that agriculture is the backbone of our economy, it's revitalizing to see that the budget prioritized agritech, especially with the push on DeepTech like AI and geospatial systems. They will go a long way towards making the industry sustainable and bringing it into the 21st century. A more positive aspect was monitoring agriculture with Kisan Drones as well as digitizing land records. They will be the biggest leap towards the adoption of technology, bringing change at a national level. Another much-welcomed part of the budget was the promotion of chemical-free and natural farming in the country. Taken together, all these measures will drive the sector and get the ball rolling towards higher growth.”

Expert’s reaction on Budget 2022: Ghanshyam Khandelwal, Chairman, BL Agro, India's leading FMCG company, said the budget was as expected. “We didn't anticipate the industry to take centre stage because several schemes for the FMCG sector have already been implemented in recent years. However, the mention of a rationalized strategy to improve domestic oilseed production and minimize reliance on imports was welcomed. A more promising statement was the package that centers on farmers adopting appropriate fruits and vegetables, as well as proper harvesting practices. The move will go a long way towards uplifting the food processing sector. "
