Deep Dive with AKB: Govt's Rs 20-trn package to fight Covid-19 slump - a podcast by Business Standard

Prime Minister Narendra #Modi on May 13 announced a Rs 20-trillion package, worth nearly 10% of India’s GDP, to boost the economy amid a slowdown made worse by the coronavirus pandemic. The PM also emphasised the opportunities that lay in this crisis and called for India to work towards becoming ‘atma-nirbhar’, or self-reliant, and being “vocal about local”. A day later, in the first of a series of briefings to detail the economic package, Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman announced a slew of measures to boost the country’s #MSME sector, besides other steps to spur demand.

Let’s take DeepDiveWithAKB to understand.
