This is also Uttar Pradesh's first paperless budget.
Ahead of the presentation of the budget, the state legislative assembly speaker on Sunday said that subsequently everything including the agenda of the House, and questions and answers will become paperless.
All members of the State Legislature have been provided iPads to view the budget highlights which will also be available on two big screens put up in the House.
On February 2, Mr Adityanath had directed that the state cabinet should hold a virtual meeting in the future for which ministers must be given training.
