Finance Minister said that the government hopes to develop a technology-driven and knowledge-based economy, something that will define the emerging strength of the country. This will be aided by strong public finances and a robust financial sector and this can be achieved by “janbhagidari” i.e. “sabka saath, sabka prayaas”.
