Ramakrishnan M, Managing Director, Primus Partners, said the Union Budget provides steady support for agriculture and allied activities, with a focus on high-value farming, fisheries, orchard rejuvenation and nut cultivation to boost rural incomes. He added that investments in reservoirs, Amrit Sarovars and the Bharat Vistaar multilingual AI platform could strengthen fisheries value chains, support women-led groups and FPOs, and improve advisory services. While Sunita Mohanty, Managing Director, Primus Partners, said the Budget’s emphasis on non-communicable diseases sends a clear signal to the private sector to move beyond compliance and adopt clearer labelling, healthier reformulations and more responsible business practices to protect public health.
