Budget making needs to be based on past performance, needs, aspirations and available resources. The needs of the people need to be assessed by community participation, meetings, dialogue and aspirations of all classes, and civic organisations. The aspirations of people need to be considered. The development indicators, parameters, socio economic status and needs of infrastructure needs to be accounted for based on data. Evidence based policy, aspirations, vision of the stakeholders and organisations needs to be given adequate attention. However, resources need to be mobilised, even for both caper and opex. Resource strengthening, streamlining and rationalisation of expenditure need to be focused based on past performance and outcomes too .
