#DelhiBudget2017 highlights: Focus remains on education, health; no new tax

Delhi Deputy Chief Minister and Finance Minister on Wednesday presented the Rs 48,000-crore Budget for the national capital, with major thrust on improving health, water distribution, transport, health and education infrastructure. Delhi’s newly-appointed Governor Anil Baijal opened the five-day Budget session outlining the AAP government’s work in the last two years. This was also the first time when Sisodia, who also holds the finance portfolio, additionally presented an ‘outcome budget’ which he elaborated as something like a ‘contract’ between the people and the government.
