Pranab to give final touches to General Budget 2009-10
Union Finance Minister Pranab Mukherjee along with the ministers of state and
Secretaries in his Ministry will give final touches to the General Budget
2009-10 at Finance Ministers Chamber in New Delhi on Sunday.
This is Pranab Mukherjee's fourth regular Budget. He presented three earlier
Budgets as finance minister in the Indira Gandhi government.
But this would perhaps be his toughest job as he has to fight recessionary
pressures and at the same time meet the fiscal deficit reduction targets.
Mukherjee has already stated that the focus of the government would be on "aam
aadmi" with more employment generation schemes on the anvil.
