Evaluating the Government's steps towards recovery https://youtu.be/CjNUFxXIY7c : Session 2 of Interrogating "recovery" - A webinar series questioning claims of post-COVID economic recovery Moderated by Paranjoy Guha Thakurta 3.12.2021
Panelists:

Surajit Mazumdar (Prof. JNU) Over the last few months the media has been abuzz with claims of “rapid recovery” and “record growth” for the Indian economy. While in the first session of the series we interrogated several of these numbers and claims, in this second session we will evaluate each of the government's supposed steps towards propelling this "recovery". From "atmanirbhar bharat" to the proposed infrastructure drive; from the relief packages to the monetisation of assets - we will try to confront the claims with reality and reason.
