Focus on Employment and Welfare
Adhikari mentioned that the budget will encompass several public welfare decisions aimed at boosting employment, accelerating industrial growth, and improving the implementation of social welfare schemes.

We will introduce a new land acquisition plan, a single-window system, and incentives for industries.' He reiterated that the government's objective is to generate jobs through industrial development.
Support for Entrepreneurs

He assured that eligible beneficiaries would receive subsidized loans at lower interest rates, including options for collateral-free loans to promote small businesses and self-employment.
Goals for Self-Help Groups
