Union Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman began her budget presentation for 2022-23 and expressed her sympathy for those who suffered due to the Covid-19 pandemic. She mentioned that India’s economic growth in the current year is estimated to be at 9.2 per cent, which is the highest among all large economies. She said we are in the middle of an omicron wave with high incidents but milder symptoms. The speed and coverage of our vaccination campaign have significantly helped; with an accelerated improvement of health infrastructure in the last two years, we are in a solid position to withstand challenges, Sitharaman said.
