The Yogi Adityanath government on Monday presented its first paperless budget in the Uttar Pradesh Assembly. The budget for 2021-22 was presented by the state's Finance Minister Suresh Kumar Khanna in the presence of the chief minister.

Reading out the budget speech from a laptop, Khanna said the target was to make Uttar Pradesh "Aatmanirbhar" and ensure all round development of the state.
