Tilokie Depoo

Dr. Tilokie Depoo is an economist known for advocating budgetary policies aimed at social investment and welfare. Recently, he was in the news for his defense of Budget 2026, which he claims prioritizes people through increased social spending and cash transfers. However, critics, including Hemdutt Kumar, argue that his approach overlooks critical issues of equitable benefit distribution, suggesting that the budget's scale does not necessarily translate into real economic relief for those most in need.
