Principal Secretary Mr. Bora said that the beneficiaries should get the full benefit of the budget allocated by the government for the successful implementation of various schemes. For this, an action plan should be made from the beginning of the year and implemented.

Mr. Bora has given the target of increasing the expenditure to 80 percent in the upcoming financial year 2026-27.
