The second wave of Corona virus in the country has posed a big challenge to the government. If the Corona pandemic poses a threat to the country’s economy, then another economic relief package can also be given, indicated by Deputy Chairman of NITI Aayog, Rajiv Kumar.
NITI Aayog has said that the country needs to be prepared for more uncertainty in terms of consumer and investment. The Commission says that if necessary, the government will do the same with the fiscal measures. During the first wave of Corona epidemic, the government announced a huge relief package of 20 lakh crore rupees.
NITI Aayog Vice Chairman Rajiv Kumar said that due to the increasing outbreak of Coronavirus, the situation has become more difficult than before.
Along with the increasing number of corona infects, the country is also grappling with the increasing number of dead. Due to this, various state governments are being forced to ban the freedom of movement and movement of people.
Rajiv Kumar said that India was on the verge of defeating COVID-19 completely, but the Corona strain of Britain and other countries in the country has made the situation more difficult this time. He hoped that despite such a bad situation, India’s economy will grow by 11 percent in this financial year.
When the Corona pandemic started last year, the Central Government announced the ‘Atmanirbhar India’ package to give a boost to the economy in the country.
In this announcement, a package of about 27.1 lakh crores was announced, more than 13 percent of the national gross domestic product (GDP). Regarding the growth of the economy in the current financial year, Kumar said that various estimates suggest that it will be around 11 percent .
