Correct option is D

The correct answer is (d) Women Empowerment

In the Union Budget of India for 2023-24, Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman outlined seven priorities named ‘Saptarishis’, which act as guiding principles for the government’s policy and expenditure.

The seven priorities (Saptarishis) in the Union Budget 2023-24 are:

• Inclusive Development
• Reaching the Last Mile
• Infrastructure and Investment
• Unleashing the Potential
• Green Growth
• Youth Power
• Financial Sector

While "Women Empowerment" is an important area of focus for the government, it was not specifically listed as one of the seven priorities under the ‘Saptarishis’.

Additional Information:

• Green Growth: Emphasis on sustainability, renewable energy, and achieving net-zero goals.
• Youth Power: Skilling and empowering the youth through initiatives like PMKVY 4.0 and other employment opportunities.
• Reaching the Last Mile: Focus on delivering benefits to marginalized and under-served sections of society.

This "Saptarishi" framework aligns with the government’s agenda to promote inclusive growth, economic resilience, and environmental sustainability.
