I was 20 when I first understood the formal government structure of economics in India. For almost 5 years now, I visit Economic Survey and General Budget in weeks following their release.
In the first week of December, I happened to interact with an official related to Economic Advisory Group who made a striking remark.
Hindustan ka naksha sirf geographical lines nahi par paimaano par dekhna shuru karna chaihye ab! Farq samajh aaega
When I asked him the meaning of this, he urged me to wait for a few weeks. For those who have been around me know my love for maps. Something that started as a random hobby from drawing Indian Map freehand is now a considerable passion! Needless to mention, I was eagerly waiting for Hindustan ka naqsha in the Economic Survey and boy! he had a point.
Adding a few maps from the document here for you to enjoy the visual treat here!
1. Startups: magic is not in the Red but the Yellow(s)!
2. No, not THAT Diwali image by NASA but real time data!
3. Jal hai toh Kal hai but this time, direct to your home!
4. JFK once said, USA has so many roads not because it is modern. It is modern because it has so many roads!
5. To fly is to have wings, for real!
6. Sustainable Development Goal(s), getting there!
7. Water (exploitation) shenanigans
