Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman will engage with 30 college students from across the country following the presentation of the Union Budget 2026-27. The interactive session is aimed at fostering dialogue with the younger generation and providing insights into the government’s fiscal priorities and economic roadmap.
Officials stated that the initiative reflects the government’s commitment to transparency and inclusivity, ensuring that students gain a first-hand understanding of budgetary provisions and their impact on various sectors. The interaction will also serve as a platform for students to share their perspectives and raise questions directly with the Finance Minister.
The Union Budget 2026-27, presented earlier in Parliament, outlined measures to strengthen economic growth, boost infrastructure, and enhance social welfare schemes. Sitharaman’s engagement with students is expected to highlight key aspects of the budget, including allocations for education, skill development, and employment generation.
By involving college students in post-budget discussions, the government seeks to encourage civic participation and promote awareness about fiscal policies among the youth. The initiative underscores the importance of engaging future leaders in shaping India’s economic vision.
The Finance Minister’s interaction with students after the budget presentation is part of a broader effort to make economic governance more participatory, bridging the gap between policymakers and citizens.
