Ratings and reviews

It's a good initiative. Request NIC to add previous FY budget files here along with budget speeches, bills sumbutted, bills approved, FY assessment on set budgets and so on. Also the split up for each sector/dept will be value addition. More user-friendly and easy access to data is all we need.

Great initiative by the Govt. It would really help a commoner to have the authentic version that too on mobile rather than depending on the TV channels where interpretation/ telecasting is as per the whims and fancies of the channel.

Can't believe that we have intiated such a platform for such things. Docs presented in a very modrate way, easy to understand. No need to purchase budget documents. Now budget is also in our hand.
