Kant terms Budget as pragmatic

New Delhi: Terming the Union Budget pragmatic, Niti Aayog CEO Amitabh Kant said the government is determined to take India on a high growth path. He further said if the government will be able to achieve disinvestment target of 2020-21 then the budget will be very successful.

"It is a pragmatic budget. It pushes for public private partnership (PPP) in many areas. Budget lays lot of emphasis on AI, quantum computing, roadmap for infrastructure sector.

The budget will put India on the right track. ...The government is determined to take India to accelerated high growth," he said at an event organised by industry body Ficci.
