In advanced economies, there is a conflict between outcomes delivered by inequality and growth
While in India, there is a convergence - both inequality and per capita income have similar impact on socioeconomic indicators

India has a track record of having adopted expansionary fiscal policy focussed on infrastructure spending We need to replicate the same, notes Economic Survey
Even if India were to have the real GDP growth rate as low as 3.8% each year from FY 23 to FY 29, the debts will still come down - CEA Subramanian, illustrating that India's debt is sustainable
Economic Survey calls for counter-cyclical fiscal policy to be an important point of emphasis, where the govt. steps in when the private sector does badly and steps back when the private sector does well
If the interest rate is less than growth rate, debt as a percentage of GDP declines
Change in growth rate is key to influencing this, hence growth is instrumental to attaining sustainability of debt, notes CEA @SubramanianKri #SavingLivesAndLivelihoods pic.twitter.com/Zte10hRuhF

India's policy response to COVID19 considered nuanced impact of the pandemic on demand PMJDY balances increased at the bottom of the pyramid during lockdown, showing precautionary motive to save Given this uncertainty, India focused on ensuring necessities in 1st phase

President Ram Nath Kovind leaves from the Parliament House after his Address at the joint session of the Parliament concludes. Vice President M Venkaiah Naidu and Prime Minister Narendra Modi also with him.
20 jawans made the supreme sacrifice in Galwan valley in June 2020. Every citizen is grateful to these martyrs. My Govt is committed to the protection of the interests of the nation. Extra Forces have been deployed at LAC for protection of India's sovereignty: President Kovind.
Extermism in the northeast is heading towards its end, the incidents of violence are declining. The youth that had gone astray is returning to the mainstream of development and nation-building: President Ram Nath Kovind.
The nation is recovering from the damage that the economy suffered while saving the life of every Indian during the Corona period. Even in this difficult time, India has emerged as an attractive destination for global investors. Besides fulfilling the domestic requirements, India has provided necessary medicines to more than 150 countries. India is also committed to ensuring the availability of vaccines on a global scale, says Prez.
Last govts had made efforts for construction of a new Parliament building. It's a delightful coincidence that the nation started construction while moving towards 75th year of independence. The building will provide more facilities to MPs in carrying out their duties, says President Kovind.
My Govt would like to clarify that the rights and facilities that were available before the formation of the three Farm Laws have not been cut short, in fact with these new agricultural reforms the Govt has provided new facilities and rights to farmers, President Kovind
Water is Wealth. Water being the wealth of the people and its distribution being uncertain, the correct approach is not to complain against nature but to conserve water, says President Kovind.
Small and marginal farmers are also a priority for my Govt. To support such farmers in their small expenses, around Rs 1,13,000 crores have been transferred directly to their accounts, under PM-Kisan Samman Nidh Scheme
President Ram Nath Kovind condemns the Delhi violence on Republic Day by farmers against the central farm laws. He states that tricolor cannot be insulted at any cost. Prez adds, law and order situation must be maintained.
The national flag and a holy day like Republic Day were insulted in the past few days. The Constitution that provides us Freedom of Expression, is the same Constitution that teaches us that law & rules have to be followed seriously, says President Kovind.

The facilities of Ayushman Bharat Yojana can be availed in any of the 24,000 hospitals across the nation. The poor are getting medicines at very low costs at 7000 centres across the country, under Pradhan Mantri Bhartiya Janaushadhi Pariyojana: President Kovind.
I am satisfied that the timely decision taken by my Government saved the lives of lakhs of citizens. Today the number of new COVID cases is going down rapidly. The number of recoveries is very high.
In this fight against the pandemic, we lost many citizens. Former President Pranab Mukherjee passed away in this Corona period. Six MPs left us untimely due to COVID. I pay my tribute to all of them: President Ram Nath Kovind.
Joint session of Parliament amid Corona pandemic is essential. It's a new yearr ana a new decade. We are re also entering into the 75th year of independence. Today all MPs are present here with message & trust that however tough be the challenge neither we nor India will stop: President Kovind.
President Ram Nath Kovind arrives at the Parliament. Addresses the two Houses as the Budget Session commences today.
This is the Budget Session. For the first time in India's history, in a way, the Finance Minister had to present 4-5 mini budgets in 2020 in the form of different packages. So this Budget will be seen as a part of those 4-5 mini budgets, I believe this: PM Modi at the Parliament
