“I myself will review the progress of their implementation on a monthly basis,” he said.

Greater emphasis has been given for education, health, women and child welfare, nutrition and welfare of weaker sections, he added.

To boost the state’s economy the Budget has provided substantial grants for roads, railways, ports, airports and schemes for industrial growth, the Chief Minister said.

Greater importance has been given for the development of northern Karnataka in agriculture, irrigation and industry, industrial township and a mega dairy in Haveri. The new Milk Federation will start functioning from April 1, he added.
