TFP Bureau, Raipur, March 3, 2025: A historic moment unfolded in the Chhattisgarh Legislative Assembly today as Finance Minister Shri OP Choudhary presented the state’s budget in a handwritten format. For the first time in the state’s history, the budget, comprising 100 pages, was entirely written by hand, marking a departure from the usual computer-typed presentations.
Shri OP Choudhary described this gesture as a move to return to traditional practices and promote originality. He emphasized that in an era dominated by digital technology, presenting a handwritten budget holds distinct significance and carries historical weight.
A Step Towards Authenticity and Transparency
In a break from the past, where computer-typed budgets were the norm, this handwritten budget aims to promote authenticity, transparency, and a personal touch in governance. Minister Choudhary believes that this initiative will not only enhance the credibility of the process but also encourage greater public trust in the state’s financial dealings.
This unique approach signals the beginning of a new tradition in Chhattisgarh’s legislative practices, blending modern governance with time-honored methods.
