He said that the government has emphasized on the development of a self-reliant agricultural economy, promotion of entrepreneurship, infrastructure development and job creation to develop the information technology sector as the main driver of production and productivity growth.
The Prime Minister also informed the House that some specific programmes have been proposed for access to justice for the socially marginalized and oppressed classes.
Prime Minister Prachanda assured that the amendments received from the parliamentarians on the proposed policies and programmes will cover the additional issues mentioned in the annual budget statement the Government is to present in the Parliament on Jestha 15 (May 28).
