AAGANAN Budget Analysis 2010

The recent budget was well received in many quarters as it assuaged the concerns of deficit hawks, helped the rural masses as social sector schemes continued and satisfied urbanites as tax slabs were revamped and there was renewed focus on infrastructure development. Although no speech, presentation or document can fully capture the essence of a budget, I recently spoke to 250 MBA students from different colleges about various aspects of the budget. The presentation I shared with students is given here for viewing and downloading. Comments, suggestions and criticisms/appreciation are always welcome!!

A few notes for the students.

2. If you want to read the first chapter (and other chapters) of the Economic Survey, it is accessible here.

4. A brief document that summarizes important Budget initiatives is given here.
