Filed under:

Prime Minister Manmohan Singh today said the prime focus of the Union Budget 2007-08 was on education and healthcare as he reaffirmed his government’s commitment on increasing the spending on the social infrastructure. He said the budget put a lot of emphasis on improving access to social services and social safety net.

“Education and healthcare are the primary imperatives as far as this budget is concerned,” Singh said.

He said there was a need to improve the skill level and special emphasis was being laid on secondary education.

The Prime Minister said the government was toying with the idea of utilising a part of the foreign exchange reserve for infrastructure development and this was being discussed with the Reserve Bank of India.

“This will materialise in due course,” Singh said.
