It is encouraging to see the government focus on new schemes and announcements for creating new jobs and skilled workers in India. There has been a major boost for investments in the country's infrastructure. Some schemes that caught our attention include incentive schemes for new employees, INR 3 lakh crore allocation for women led schemes and INR 2.66 lakh crore being allocated for rural development. An encouraging announcement came in the form of the abolishment of the angel tax for the startup sector. For the healthcare sector, the government did announce exemption for three more medicines for cancer treatment as well as for the manufacturing of certain medical devices from customs duty . But the Budget missed out on a few key announcements. We would like the government to look at incentivizing R&D for new medicines and medical devices. Aside from this, we hope the government will enforce a law requiring doctors’ prescriptions to include drug names rather than specific brands. These changes can certainly help the country move towards a Viksit Bharat. We hope the government could take this into consideration in the coming months. #Budget2024 #UnionBudget2024 #HealthcarePolicy #IndiaGrowth #RuralDevelopment #ViksitBharat #Postbudgetreaction
