<h1>State adopts zero-based budgeting, three-year rolling plan to double funds, enforce discipline, and earmark 16% SC, 23% ST</h1> A state government will implement Zero-Based Budgeting and a three-year rolling budget to enforce financial discipline, rigorously evaluate all schemes, and link expenditures to public priorities; the plan includes doubling the budget over five years, annual reviews with adjustments, and incorporation of off-budget items and centrally sponsored scheme impacts into the budget. New guidelines require transparency in salaries, pensions and allowances, and earmark at least 16% for the Scheduled Caste sub-plan and 23% for the Scheduled Tribe sub-plan. The reforms aim to phase out ineffective programs, optimize resource use and support long-term development goals.
