In this year's budget it is told that [replace with] it will cerate employment, alleviate poverty and thus it allocates more [replace with] in education, health and agriculture sector. But relation between budget [replace with] allocation and poverty alleviation is not directly related.
[replace with]
[replace with] It is more indirect. But without good governance how can we achieve it? [replace with] It is also appreciable that Finance Minister concentrated more for [replace with] educational sector especially female education. Education scholarship is [replace with] also appreciable. Agriculture subsidy especially doubling the fertilizer [replace with] subsidy is also appreciable. But the question is how the quality of [replace with] education will be achieved? If we can not make qualitative change in [replace with] primary and secondary education level, this extra allocation will not [replace with] bring any benefit. So, good governance is a prime factor for this.
[replace with]
[replace with] Actually budget is a proposal. There always remains a gap among budget [replace with] proposal and actual implementation. So, it is not possible to evaluate [replace with] development with proposed budget only.
