NEW DELHI: Uttar Pradesh chief minister Yogi Adityanath on Thursday said that the state Budget 2025-26 aligns with the principle of ‘Sarve Bhavantu Sukhinah‘ and honours India’s Sanatan culture.
“This Budget of 2025-26 embodies the concept of ‘Sarve Bhavantu Sukhinah’ (may all be happy), which is dedicated to the Sanatan culture of India. It focuses on the upliftment of youth, women, and farmers, with a clear vision inspired by Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s priority for the deprived sections of the society,” said Adityanath while speaking at a press conference following the Budget presentation.
“With a glorious 75-year journey, this is a crucial Budget that lays the roadmap for the state’s future, outlining plans for the next 25 years,” he added.
The chief minister also acknowledged B R Ambedkar’s contribution as the Constitution’s architect and announced to establish a memorial and cultural center in Lucknow.
“On this occasion, I humbly pay my respects to Baba Saheb Bhimrao Ambedkar. In his name, our double-engine government is establishing the Baba Saheb Bhimrao Ambedkar Memorial and Cultural Center in Lucknow. This center will serve as a beacon to promote the principles of prioritizing the deprived, as laid out in the Constitution,” he said.
The Chief Minister explained that the new centre will function as a primary institution for promoting Ambedkar’s ideology and implementing constitutional values in Uttar Pradesh.
He further highlighted that the 2025-26 Budget incorporates these principles, establishing a foundation for the state’s development whilst prioritising social justice and empowerment.
