  • Budget Speech
    Hon’ble Mr. Speaker Sir, On the recommendation of the Governor, I beg to move that a sum of Rs. 558,46,95,000 (Rupees Five Hundred Fifty Eight Crore Forty Six Lakh Ninety Five Thousand) only be granted under Demand No.49 to meet up the expenses of the Department of Youth Services & Sports. The students & youth are the most vibrant, hard-working, impulsive and dynamic forces of a society. It is true that the students and youth are always ready to sacrifice their lives for the national interest and they act as a guiding force for the generations to come. There are ample examples of youth leading the society from the front despite enormous hazards. The Hon’ble Chief Minister of our state Mamata Banerjee has reposed her unflinching faith in the student- youth section of our society. In translating her dreams into reality, the faith of the Hon’ble Chief Minister over the student-youth section of the society, is incredible. Endless is her concern about the education, health, employment and holistic mental and physical development of the students and youth. The Department of Youth Services & Sports has undertaken some positive programmes for the benefit of youth of our society in order to lead them to the right path enabling them to serve the nation by building strong moral character and developing their mind for healthy thinking. Apart from this, some vocational and other training means will further add to their character and personality building trait. On the other hand, sports remains a central ingredient in driving the agenda of National Unity.
