Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman will present the final budget of the second term of the Modi government on February 1 next year. The ministry has started preparations for this. According to the reports, in the budget of the financial year 2023-24, the expenditure on welfare programs running in rural areas can be increased by 50% to Rs 2 lakh crore. The increased amount will be used to overcome the slowdown in the rural economy in the wake of the Corona pandemic. The government had allocated Rs 1.36 lakh crore to the Ministry of Rural Development for the current financial year. However, this expenditure may increase to more than Rs 1.60 lakh crore.
Before the likely Lok Sabha elections in the month of April-May 2024, the central government is not only focused on increasing employment, but it is also focusing on promoting the affordable housing scheme.
Expenditure-budget both increased, but the unemployment rate was 8.04%
After Corona, there was an increase in the number of people getting employment through MNREGA in the villages. The unemployment rate remained above 7% in the current financial year. It is at 8.04% in November. A budget of Rs 73 thousand crores was kept for MNREGA this year. Later it had to be increased to 98 thousand crores.
This is how expenditure on development in rural areas increased
2019-20 Rs 1.17 lakh crore. 4.46%
2020-21 Rs 1.20 lakh crore. 2.56%
2021-22 Rs 1.31 lakh crore. 9.16%
2022-23 Rs 1.36 lakh crore. 3.81%
The amount can be increased by 50% in the next budget.
