However budget was good but these are some areas where government should focus more for making it a dream budget.

1. However FM gave relief to middle class and enterprises by decreasing income tax rates but it will increase more burden on Indian economy.
2. FM’s announcement of 40000 crore for NABARD is not sufficient to meet demands of farmers unless otherwise reach to the right hands.
3. FM should allocate more funds for education.
4. There was nothing more for job seekers for increasing job vacancy estate in government services.
5. However FM made some announcements for skill development but only funds are not sufficient enough for whole development of skilled India unless officials take responsibilities to encourage these plans

CONCLUSION-

Overall finance minister Arun Jaitley tried to give previlidges to all the castes and categories of the society moreover this budget will be also remembered for implementing cashless economy. Let’s hope our this very union Budget 2017 make the history and enable India as an emerging economy of the world and make India “the golden bird” again.
