New Delhi: Terming AAP government's maiden budget for the financial year 2015-16 as India's first 'Swaraj Budget', Finance Minister Manish Sisodia proposed to create a provision of Rs 253 crore under the Swaraj Fund Scheme.

AAP government held public meetings in 11 constituencies to know public requirements. About 50 public meetings were organised in each assembly constituency which were attended by voters of the area. Sisodia said participative budgeting is a step towards democratic and transparent administration and management of financial resources which play a significant role in avoiding corruption and mishandling of public funds.
