Marking a proactive step in youth-government synergy, Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman will discuss the freshly unveiled Union Budget 2026-27 with around 30 college students on February 1 evening. The Friday statement from authorities sets the stage for this insightful exchange.
Diverse in origin—from different states and disciplines like commerce, economics, medical studies, and vocational training—the students will observe the budget presentation live in the Lok Sabha gallery, gaining an up-close view of parliamentary power.
Their itinerary includes a North Block visit for dialogues with finance ministry veterans, demystifying policy creation, daily operations, and the sector’s nation-building essence.
Sitharaman’s session promises candid talks on budget priorities, India’s forward-looking agenda, and ripple effects on the younger generation. Students get to contribute their thoughts, hopes, and strategies for youth development and national advancement.
Aimed at boosting comprehension of financial systems, economic dynamics, governance, and democratic engagement, the event encourages vibrant youth input.
With the budget incorporating prior public suggestions—youth included—this dialogue reinforces the Modi-led government’s focus on empowering tomorrow’s leaders today.
