Talking to PTI, Mungantiwar said agriculture, irrigation, infrastructure, education (especially skill development) and knowledge economy will be the key areas where he will work for revenue generation which is necessary to fund social security schemes.
"Increasing taxes is not necessarily revenue generation," the minister said.
The minister said he would begin his pre-budget statewide tour to interact with stakeholders from January 12 in Gadchiroli.
To reduce the revenue deficit, the government would have to either increase taxes or borrow money, he said.
