!!!Action Packed Day Today!!!

आज आख़िर बजट २०१७ पेस होने जा रहा है जो कि बहुत ज़रूरी था।

आप को ये बताना बहुत ज़रूरी है कि बजट इस बार मार्च की जगह फ़रवरी में क्यूँ पेश किया जा रहा है ?

कारण वैसे बहुत सामान्य है लेकिन कुछ दलो द्वारा इस फ़ैसले का इस तरीक़े के विरोध किया गया जैसे ये कोई देशविरोधी घटना हो और ये भी कहा गया कि बजट पाँच राज्यों में होने वाले चुनाव को प्रभावित करने के लिए फ़रवरी में चुनाव के पहले पेश किया जा रहा है।
बजट का विरोध करने वालों को सुप्रीम कोर्ट से भी फटकार मिली क्यूँकि वो ये भूल गए थे की जब पहले बजट मार्च में पेस होता था तब गवर्न्मंट को निर्धारित बजट ख़र्च करने के लिए सिर्फ़ ८-९ महीने ही मिलते थे जिससे बजट द्वारा निर्धारित धन का बहुत बड़ा हिस्सा समय के कमी के कारण उपयोग ही नहीं हो पता था और जनहित के कार्य अधूरे ही रह जाते थे।
बजट पेश होने के बाद ३-४ महीने तो बजट द्वारा निर्धारित धन को निर्धारित कार्यों में उपयोग करने की तैयारी में ही लग जाते थे, फिर देश के नेता और सरकारी तंत्र की निस्क्रियता भी बजट धन के उपयोग में नकारात्मक भूमिका निभाती थी।
ये सारी कमियों को दूर करने तथा पूरे निर्धारित बजट को पूरे साल उपयोग करने का समय मिले इसीलिए भारत सरकार ने ऐतिहासिक फ़ैसला लेते हुए तथा देशहित में बजट को मार्च के जगह आज ०१ फ़रवरी को पेश करने का फ़ैसला लिया है।
