UP Budget 2022: Uttar Pradesh Finance Minister Suresh Khanna on Thursday presented the state’s annual budget for 2022-23 in the Legislative Assembly. Under the new budget, Rs 1 crore has been allotted for creating a Board to oversee the welfare of old saints and pujaris in the state. Meanwhile, Rs 300 crore was provided for ensuring that the children of labourers and street vendors have access to quality education.
The latest state budget is focused on ensuring self-reliance in the state, UP CM Yogi Adityanath tweeted soon after the budget was tabled. Adityanath promised that it would be dedicated to the overall development of Uttar Pradesh. Before being tabled in the House, the budget was passed in a cabinet meeting chaired by the chief minister at his official residence in the morning. The latest Budget was the first to be tabled by the Adityanath government during its second term in the state assembly.
“A public welfare budget dedicated to the overall development of Uttar Pradesh will be presented in the House today. With inspiration from the respected prime minister, the double-engine government of the BJP is working relentlessly to make Uttar Pradesh the ‘growth engine’ of the country,” Adityanath said in a tweet in Hindi.
