Indian economy as a whole was negatively affected by the Covid-19 pandemic which resulted in a sharp fall in GDP during the lockdown period. After the lockdown was lifted, the economy started showing signs of recovery. Union Minister of State for Finance Anurag Thakur had asserted prior to the budget presentation that the Budget for the year 2021-22 will be in accordance with the people’s expectations in order to make a self-reliant India.  Keeping in mind the mantra “'Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas, Sabka Vishwas’, the Modi Government had earlier announced the Aatmanirbhar package in order to swiftly bring the Indian economy back on track. The Economic Survey, which was tabled in the Parliament on 29th January 2021 forecasted the economic growth to be around 11 percent in the next financial year. In this scenario, people of India were eager to know the different measures the NDA Government will take to uplift the economy crippled by the pandemic.
