Speaking on the occasion, Rather said that every effort was being made to pool all the available resources to make the Budget proposals representative to the urges and aspirations of the people and also stake holders.
He said, before formulating next years budget, he has undertaken an exhaustive exercise of pre-budget consultations with all the stakeholders including trade, industry, transporters, intellectuals, academicians and progressive farmers of both Jammu and Kashmir divisions to get first hand appraisal of their demands and suggestions.
