At the same time, priority was accorded to agriculture and allied sectors in the budget, he said at a press conference here. Since 12 lakh families are dependent on dairy sector, preference was given to dairy development in the budget, he said.

Separate allocations were made in the budget for sheep distribution scheme, the Minister said, adding that the historic budget will facilitate development of traditional occupations.
