We asked the DeepSeek chatbot, “What should the Indian Union Budget 2025 be like?” The AI startup said it may be challenging to predict the exact details of the Budget, but based on the current trends it generated a 600-word text on the key areas the budget may focus on.
On Rural Development
The government may expand direct income support schemes for farmers, like PM-KISAN, according to DeepSeek. It may come up with policies for better implementation of Minimum Support Price (MSP) to help the farmers.
On Healthcare, Education
Funding may be raised for the centre’s flagship health insurance scheme Ayushman Bharat. The government may also increase allocation for the implementation of the National Education Policy 2020, skill development, and research and development.
On Climate Change
The budget may focus on providing incentives for renewable energy projects as the country aims to achieve net-zero emissions by 2070. This may include tax benefits and subsidies on EV manufacturing, DeepSeek said. Other areas of focus may be water conservation and waste management, for which funding may be increased.
