Union Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman on Wednesday unveiled the details of the economic package of Rs 20 lakh crore. She said that "PM laid out a comprehensive vision, and that vision was laid out after the wide consultations with several sections of the society." Essentially this is to spurt growth and to build a very self reliant India and that is why this whole initiative is called Atma Nirbhar Bharat Abhiyan, she added. There are five pillars of 'Atmanirbhar Bharat- Economy, infrastructure, system, demography and demand, she said. Atmanirbhar (self-reliant) India does not mean India is to be an isolationist country, she added. https://www.facebook.com/ptcnewsonline/videos/609497002985505/ On Tuesday, Prime Minister Narendra Modi pitched for a self-reliant India in the post Covid-19 world as he announced an economic package that is about 10 per cent of the country’s GDP.
