The Odisha Finance Department has launched its pre-budget consultation process, asking input from the public, civil society organizations, advocacy groups, and other stakeholders for the 2025-26 fiscal year.
The move seeks to make the financial process more transparent, participatory, and inclusive.
Citizens can submit their suggestions through various channels, including:
– Budget Web Portal: https://budget.odisha.gov.in/
– Email: odisha.budget@gov.in
– WhatsApp: (+91) 9438161111
– Social Media: X (formerly Twitter) (@F’dOdisha), Facebook (@FinanceOdisha), and Instagram (@fdodisha)
The specialized budget web portal displays all budget-related papers, ensuring transparency and simplicity of use. The facility will be available until January 31, 2025.
Citizens who participate in the budgeting process can help shape the state’s financial priorities and allocations. The Odisha Finance Department welcomes all stakeholders to take advantage of this opportunity and contribute significant feedback to the Annual Budget 2025-26.
