welcomed Dr. Subramanian. The session commenced by introducing the GDP formula
and then breaking down factors affecting the GDP and explaining the percentage
increase in government spending to offset a slight reduction in
consumption and investment. It was an enriching and enlightening
experience to hear it straight from the horse's mouth about the three
underlying skeletons of the economic reforms, including the combination of
focus on economic growth in macroeconomic level and efficient welfare at the
microeconomic level, enabling privatization and considering creation as a boon
and focus on the virtuous cycle.
Dr. Subramanian said that the second wave continues to decline, and the
pace of decline is as fast as the pace of growth, with high-frequency
indicators continuing their recovery. He added that there should be a faster
recovery, and the government has set a target of one crore vaccines per day by
September.
During the question and answers session
moderated by Sarveshvar T.S, XLRI Ex-PGDM 2022, he said that the Indian economy
is making a V shape recovery, and this decade will be the decade of India. The
government is ready to provide help to every section with the assistance of
digital technology. The Chief Economic Advisor told the students about other
decisions and strategies of the government. He also made the students aware of
many economics concepts and gave many suggestions for a better future.
All the students thoroughly enjoyed the
Question-and-Answer session. Apoorva Mehta, Ex-PGDM 2022, later concluded the
