The Economic Survey 2024-25, tabled ahead of the Union Budget, provides a detailed assessment of India’s economic performance over the past year and lays the foundation for future policy decisions. While economists and policymakers analyze its data and projections, the real impact of the survey is felt by the common man—salaried employees, small business owners, farmers, and daily wage workers—who experience the economy firsthand.

As the government highlights growth in infrastructure, digital advancements, and fiscal policies, citizens are more concerned about inflation, employment opportunities, rising living costs, and tax burdens.

Does the survey reflect their challenges? Does it offer hope for a better financial future?

Here’s a look at what the common man thinks about the Economic Survey 2024-25.

For those who claim that the private sector is not required in agriculture, take a step back to understand one of the most important analyses from the Economic Survey.

We do not have a demand-side problem, for now, but supply-side issues are in a surplus. Farm laws redux. pic.twitter.com/2S8ud5DbVj

Good to a read chapter on AI in recently released Economic Survey

Govt is gearing up and they realise that the risk can never be “fully mitigated” but can be minimised.. though not exactly concrete in plan, it’s a good theoretical chapter to read and then this beautiful quote… pic.twitter.com/FMQvMsvgOc

OpenAI asked the author of an AI chapter in India's Economic Survey to "not disclose" that its high-efficiency model incurs a cost of $34.4 million running the ARC-AGI benchmark. So the author just disclosed it through linguistic algebra instead. pic.twitter.com/jFTmIzRhSx
