"The Union Budget 2024's focus on women's workforce participation is commendable. Establishing hostels and women-specific skilling programs, alongside promoting internships in top companies, shows a strong commitment to gender equality. The provision of a ₹5,000 internship allowance and ₹6,000 one-time assistance, along with skilling 20 lakh youth over five years, will significantly boost opportunities. These measures, coupled with enhanced educational support, will empower women and youth, driving India's economic and social progress forward.
