Do you think the Budget will revive the economy?

Not really. There is no major change and economy will continue to be as it is going right now.

Rural housing scheme will benefit the rural areas, and thereby, generate more employment. Also, family health insurance scheme is a good step and major illnesses can be covered for an expense of up to Rs 5,00,000, which is a reasonable sum compared to the earlier amount of Rs 1,50,000.
