Cover of Economic Survey 2020-21 hosts a weighing scale with opportunities outweighing risks

The Economic Survey for 2020-21 hosts a weighing scale with opportunities presented by the Covid-19 pandemic outweighing the risks.

The cover shows a V-shaped recovery curve that's driven by vaccine optimism and a greater push to the government's flagship Atmanirbhar Bharat campaign.

India's growth rebounded sequentially in the second quarter after nosediving to -24 per cent in the first quarter of the current fiscal.


The reforms push ushered in by the government last year helped cushion the economy against the covid blow.

The cover also gives a hint as to the focus of the government in cementing India's economic recovery by focusing on infrastructure spending.

These opportunities far outweigh to the economy and health posed by the virus. The Economic Survey projects a growth rate of 11 per cent in FY22 led by the opportunities outlined in the survey
