Bhilwara’s residents are buzzing with excitement over Rajasthan Finance Minister Diya Kumari’s presentation of the 2026-27 budget in the state assembly. Hailed as a roadmap to a developed Rajasthan, the budget has won widespread praise from locals who see it as a game-changer for the region’s future.
Business leader Rajesh Gupta from Bhilwara couldn’t hold back his admiration. ‘This budget sets clear goals aligned with the 2047 vision,’ he said. ‘The approval for the much-needed elevated road in Bhilwara is a historic step. I’m deeply grateful for this development that will ease traffic and boost commerce.’
Students and youth are equally thrilled. Priya Sharma, a local college student, highlighted the proposal for a new state-level testing agency comparable to the National Testing Agency. ‘This will standardize exams and open better opportunities for us,’ she noted, emphasizing its importance for educational equity.
Employment prospects stole the show for many. Neha Patel, a young professional, praised the announcement of 100,000 new government jobs. ‘It’s a massive boost, especially with low-cost loans for public sector employees and initiatives promoting mental health to combat stress and depression,’ she said.
Further applauding student-centric measures, another resident pointed to e-vouchers for laptops and study materials, alongside the ‘Dream Program’ offering career guidance for college students. Taxation reforms also drew attention, with plans to handle all Rajasthan State GST Tribunal cases digitally for efficiency.
Overall, Bhilwara’s reaction underscores the budget’s resonance with grassroots aspirations, positioning Rajasthan on a path of inclusive growth and innovation.
