"Gives Me Gratification": Nirmala Sitharaman Tells NDTV Her Favourite Scheme

Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman, speaking exclusively with NDTV,  expressed strong personal satisfaction with a key initiative in the Union Budget 2025: transforming India Post into a major logistics player.

In her first interview after presenting the budget, Ms Sitharaman was asked by NDTV's Editor-in-Chief about the scheme, to which she responded, "I'm happy that you asked this question. I get a sense of gratification from this scheme. In India, in every town or village, the only central government person who is directly connected with families is the postman. From good news to bad news, everything comes through the postman."
