Expect Budget 2021 to give impetus to economy: Sanjeev Pendharkar
Sanjeev Pendharkar
The year 2021 is being looked upon as a year of hope – hope for good health, hope for a life free of restrictions, hope for buoyancy in economy. On the economic front, stock markets are also achieving new heights with the expectation of the economy improving and a taxpayer-friendly Budget along with the introduction of two vaccines for Covid-19.
With an aim to promote new drug discovery in Ayurveda, first-class research facilities are needed to be set up and the government should spend more on research and development in Ayurveda. We are hoping that the Government will provide funds for ayurvedic doctors, practitioners, and scholars to back research and new drug discovery. The government should boost Ayurvedic medicines in line with the Atma Nirbhar Bharat vision of Prime Minister Narendra Modi. In our view, the Goods and Services Tax (GST) should be waived off for products having the license to be sold as Ayurvedic Medicine.
