Key features of Budget 2011-2012

Opportunities

Dynamism in the rural economy due to scaled up flow of resources to the  rural areas.

Challenges

Structural concerns on inflation management to be addressed by improving supply  response of agriculture to the expanding domestic demand and through stronger  fiscal consolidation. 

Implementation gaps, leakages from public programmes and the quality of  outcomes pose a serious challenge. 

Impression of drift in governance and gap in public accountability is misplaced.  Corruption as a problem to be fought collectively. Government to improve the  regulatory standards and administrative practices. 

Inputs from colleagues on both sides of House are important in the wider national  interest.
