In keeping with its commitment to ensuring food security, the Centre has introduced the PM Garib Kalyan Ann Yojana, which would provide free food grain to all Antyodaya and priority households for one year beginning January 1, 2023.
The Centre will establish an agriculture accelerator fund to support rural agribusiness entrepreneurs. In addition, agricultural digital public infrastructure will be constructed as an open source, open standard, and interoperable public benefit.
This Budget aims to build on the previous Budget's foundations and the vision for India@100.

Despite the epidemic, economic growth is expected to reach 7% this year. The Indian economy is on the right road and will have a great future.
The Budget intends to expand on the basis established in the preceding Budget. We envisage a thriving, inclusive India in which the benefits of progress are shared by all. In these times of global problems, such as the conflict in Ukraine, India's G20 presidency provides a rare chance to expand India's position in the global economic system.
