Panaji, Mar 13: Goa Chief Minister Pramod Sawant is set to present the state budget for the financial year 2024-25 on March 26, focusing on economic growth, infrastructure development, and social welfare.

The budget is expected to emphasize key sectors such as tourism, employment generation, and environmental sustainability, aligning with the state’s long-term vision. With Goa’s economy heavily reliant on tourism and mining, stakeholders anticipate significant policy measures to boost these sectors.

Officials hinted that the budget might include incentives for startups, infrastructure expansion, and measures to strengthen healthcare and education. The government is also likely to address concerns regarding fiscal discipline while ensuring pro-development initiatives.

Political observers believe the budget will be crucial in shaping Goa’s economic roadmap ahead of the Lok Sabha elections. The opposition has already raised demands for increased allocations in agriculture, job creation, and public welfare schemes.
