Health and Education Outlays Cut in Budget 2024-25; NREGA Budget Stagnant

Budgets for most of the schemes and departments, such as education, health, social security pensions, and mid-day meals, are either stagnant or have increased only nominally. Accounting for inflation, the NREGA budget is effectively lower by ~Rs 4,000 crore compared to the FY2025 budget.
