India, Feb. 1 -- Union finance minister Nirmala Sitharaman is presenting her eighth consecutive budget in the Parliament. In her opening remarks, she said the government will realise the 'sab ka vikas' goal by stimulating balanced growth for all regions. She also announced a host of schemes for Bihar, which will go to polls later this year.

"Our economy is the fastest growing among all major economies. Our development track record for the past 10 years and structural reforms have drawn global attention. Confidence in India's capability and potential has only grown in this period. We see the next 5 years as a unique opportunity to realise sabka vikas, stimulating balanced growth of all regions" she said.
