Let me tell you something more about the woman's empowerment attempt in the budget. Kiosks for the welfare of needy women, setting up of a district Nirbhaya Kendra, a sales centre for women-oriented industries, and sanitary unit and activities towards converting the district into a women-friendly one takes up the allocation.

Did you know that the social security and welfare sector receives Rs. 10.96 crore of which Rs. 4.05 is capital allocation for facilities especially for women. I really appreciate this effort on the district government's part.

I saw the full budget speech and can tell you that the budget sets apart Rs. 35.86 crore towards the annual maintenance of roads under the district panchayat. That is so good, right?

I would like to tell you the welfare of Scheduled Castes and Schedules Tribes is perhaps the only surprise, as it emerges second in terms of allocation with Rs.16.89 crore

Yes, even i was closely following the formation of the district budget, and even as elections to local bodies loom large, district panchayat vice-president Bindhu George on Tuesday presented her final budget, which focuses on infrastructure development, health and welfare.
