For those unversed, the first economic survey came into the being in the year 1950-51. In that time, it constituted a part of budget documents. Subsequently in 1960s, it was amputated from budget documents and displayed prior to the union budget.
The most notable feature of the document is its central theme or main theme. Earlier in 2022, the main theme was ‘Agile Approach.’ Which focused on India’s economic response in the backdrop of Covid-19 pandemic.
After one year in 2023, the central theme was ‘complete recovery.’ This was the period, when country’s economy made a complete comeback from pandemic-provided contraction, Russia-Ukraine crisis and inflation.
What’s interesting is, that document also constitutes new chapters, that particularly need attention.
