Through his Economic Survey 2025-26 (Obj), Chief Economic Adviser (CEA) V. Anantha Nageswaran (Sub) has once again (Adv) shown (Present Perfect) the value (Obj) of level-headed (Adj) analysis (Obj) while eschewing (Gerund) sensationalism (Obj). With the global (Adj) economy (Obj) in flux (Obj) and the Indian (Adj) economy (Sub) displaying (Gerund) stability (Obj), the need (Sub) of the day (Obj) is (Present Simple) pointed (Adj) analysis (Obj) of current (Adj) data (Obj) for future (Adj) policy (Obj).
सारांश: मुख्य आर्थिक सलाहकार का आर्थिक सर्वेक्षण संतुलित, गैर-सनसनीखेज विश्लेषण प्रदर्शित करता है। भारत की स्थिरता दिखाने वाले बदलते वैश्विक परिदृश्य में, भविष्य की नीति निर्माण के लिए गहन डेटा विश्लेषण प्राथमिकता है।
In this (Obj), the Survey (Sub) has delivered (Present Perfect). It (Sub) has charted (Present Perfect) out a broad (Adj) framework (Obj) for a medium-term (Adj) economic (Adj) and governance (Adj) strategy (Obj), highlighting (Present Participle) the concept (Obj) of an ‘entrepreneurial state’ (Obj) that (Sub) is (Present Simple) more (Adv) risk-taking (Adj), agile (Adj), and willing (Adj) to experiment (Infinitive).
सारांश: सर्वेक्षण ने मध्यम अवधि के लिए एक रणनीतिक ढांचा सफलतापूर्वक प्रदान किया है, जो अधिक साहसी, लचीले और प्रयोगात्मक ‘उद्यमशील राज्य’ के विचार को पेश करता है।
The CEA (Sub) is pushing (Present Continuous) for a forward-looking (Adj) dynamic (Adj) shift (Obj) to policymaking (Obj) that (Sub) is (Present Simple) willing (Adj) to fail (Infinitive) and learn (Infinitive) in the quest (Obj) for much-needed (Adj) growth (Adj) acceleration (Obj). Now (Adv) past the turbulent (Adj) COVID-19 pandemic (Obj), it (Sub) is (Present Simple) time (Obj) to look ahead (Infinitive) with policy (Sub) filling (Gerund) the economy’s sails (Obj).
सारांश: मुख्य आर्थिक सलाहकार एक प्रगतिशील, गतिशील नीतिगत दृष्टिकोण की वकालत करते हैं जो विकास को गति देने के लिए सीखने के हिस्से के रूप में विफलता को स्वीकार करता है। महामारी के पीछे रह जाने के साथ, अर्थव्यवस्था को आगे बढ़ाने के लिए दूरदर्शी नीतियों का समय है।
The Survey (Sub) acknowledges (Present Simple) that this (Sub) will not be (Future Simple) easy (Adj). Indeed (Adv), it (Sub) assigns (Present Simple) a 10%-20% (Adj) probability (Obj) to the global (Adj) economy (Obj), in 2026 (Obj), descending (Gerund) into a crisis (Obj) worse (Adj) than that in 2008 (Obj). Even its best-case (Adj) scenario (Sub) is (Present Simple) a worsening (Obj) of conditions (Obj) as they (Sub) were (Past Simple) in 2025 (Obj).
सारांश: सर्वेक्षण आगे की कठिनाई को पहचानता है, 2026 में एक गंभीर वैश्विक संकट की महत्वपूर्ण संभावना का अनुमान लगाता है। यहां तक कि सबसे आशावादी दृष्टिकोण भी 2025 की स्थितियों से बिगड़ने की भविष्यवाणी करता है।
Yet (Adv), the Survey (Sub) does (Present Simple) paint (Present Simple) a favourable (Adj) picture (Obj) of India’s economy (Obj), backed (Past Participle) with facts (Obj) and figures (Obj). It (Sub) also (Adv) does not shy away (Present Simple) from pointing out (Gerund) some (Adj) emerging (Adj) risks (Obj) and developing (Adj) problems (Obj).
सारांश: वैश्विक दृष्टिकोण के निराशाजनक होने के बावजूद, सर्वेक्षण भारत की अर्थव्यवस्था का एक सकारात्मक, डेटा-समर्थित दृष्टिकोण प्रस्तुत करता है और साहसपूर्वक कई उभरते जोखिमों और चुनौतियों की पहचान भी करता है।
At the macro (Adj) level (Obj), it (Sub) points out (Present Simple) that the falling (Adj) rupee (Sub) does not reflect (Present Simple) India’s economic (Adj) fundamentals (Obj), and the depreciation (Sub) is (Present Simple) due (Adj) in large part (Adv) to capital (Obj) flowing (Gerund) to countries (Obj) with more developed (Adj) AI industries (Obj) and to safe-haven (Adj) assets (Obj).
सारांश: सर्वेक्षण बताता है कि रुपये में गिरावट भारत की आर्थिक बुनियादी बातों के कारण नहीं है बल्कि मुख्य रूप से उन्नत एआई अर्थव्यवस्थाओं और सुरक्षित परिसंपत्तियों की ओर पूंजी के बहाव के कारण है।
A weak (Adj) rupee (Sub) is (Present Simple) good (Adj) for exporters (Obj), but India (Sub) predominantly (Adv) depends (Present Simple) on imports (Obj) — and those (Sub) have become (Present Perfect) more (Adv) expensive (Adj). If trade negotiations (Sub) have revealed (Present Perfect) anything (Obj), it (Sub) is (Present Simple) that India (Sub) is (Present Simple) not (Adv) strategically (Adv) vital (Adj) to any merchandise (Adj) supply chain (Obj).
सारांश: जबकि कमजोर रुपया निर्यातकों को लाभान्वित करता है, यह लागत बढ़ाकर भारत की आयात-निर्भर अर्थव्यवस्था को नुकसान पहुंचाता है। व्यापार वार्ताओं से पता चला है कि भारत वैश्विक आपूर्ति श्रृंखलाओं में महत्वपूर्ण महत्व रखने में कमी रखता है।
To address (Infinitive) this (Obj) and other (Adj) structural (Adj) weaknesses (Obj), the Survey (Sub) outlines (Present Simple) an ambitious (Adj) plan (Obj) to focus (Infinitive) on strategic (Adj) resilience (Obj) and, eventually (Adv), develop (Infinitive) “strategic indispensability” (Obj).
सारांश: इन और अन्य गहरी जड़ें जमाए मुद्दों से निपटने के लिए, सर्वेक्षण लचीलापन बनाने और अंततः वैश्विक प्रणालियों में अपरिहार्य स्थिति हासिल करने के उद्देश्य से एक महत्वाकांक्षी रणनीति का प्रस्ताव करता है।
It (Sub) also (Adv) argues (Present Simple) for greater (Adj) fiscal (Adj) flexibility (Obj) for the Centre (Obj) to address (Infinitive) geopolitical (Adj) and geoeconomic (Adj) uncertainties (Obj), but, simultaneously (Adv), cautions (Present Simple) States (Obj) against fiscal (Adj) populism (Obj).
सारांश: सर्वेक्षण अंतरराष्ट्रीय अनिश्चितताओं का प्रबंधन करने के लिए केंद्र सरकार के लिए अधिक राजकोषीय गुंजाइश की सिफारिश करता है, जबकि राज्य सरकारों को जनवादी राजकोषीय उपायों के खिलाफ चेतावनी देता है।
The reasoning (Sub) is (Present Simple) clear (Adj): while the Centre (Sub) has managed (Present Perfect) to more than halve (Infinitive) its fiscal (Adj) deficit ratio (Obj) in five (Adj) years (Obj), an increasing (Adj) number (Sub) of States (Obj) have fallen (Present Perfect) into revenue (Adj) deficits (Obj) in this (Adj) period (Obj).
सारांश: यह सलाह तार्किक है क्योंकि केंद्र सरकार ने अपने राजकोषीय घाटे में भारी कमी की है, जबकि कई राज्य उसी समयावधि के दौरान राजस्व घाटे में खिसक गए हैं।
This (Sub) cannot be ignored (Modal Passive), despite the political (Adj) attractiveness (Obj) of unconditional (Adj) cash (Adj) transfers (Obj). It (Sub) is (Present Simple) noteworthy (Adj) that four (Adj) major (Adj) States (Sub) go (Present Simple) for elections (Obj) this (Adj) year (Obj), only one (Obj) of which (Sub) is (Present Simple) currently (Adv) led (Past Participle) by the BJP (Obj).
सारांश: इस राजकोषीय चिंता को नजरअंदाज नहीं किया जा सकता, भले ही प्रत्यक्ष नकद हस्तांतरण राजनीतिक रूप से आकर्षक हों। समय महत्वपूर्ण है क्योंकि चार प्रमुख राज्य इस साल चुनाव का सामना करते हैं, जिनमें से अधिकांश पर शासन करने वाली पार्टी का शासन नहीं है।
The Survey (Sub) points out (Present Simple) several (Adj) other (Adj) emerging (Adj) problems (Obj), such as the impact (Obj) of ethanol (Adj) production (Obj) on food (Adj) security (Obj), the real (Adj) costs (Obj) of the ongoing (Adj) shift (Obj) to renewable (Adj) energy (Obj), the lack (Obj) of adequate (Adj) fodder (Obj), and, not (Adv) insignificantly (Adv), the impact (Obj) of “compulsive scrolling” (Obj) on smartphones (Obj).
सारांश: सर्वेक्षण कई अन्य बढ़ते मुद्दों की पहचान करता है, जिनमें इथेनॉल उत्पादन का खाद्य सुरक्षा पर प्रभाव, नवीकरणीय ऊर्जा में परिवर्तन की वास्तविक लागत, चारे की कमी और स्मार्टफोन की लत के महत्वपूर्ण प्रभाव शामिल हैं।
Each (Sub) of these (Obj) merits (Present Simple) attention (Obj), and the Survey (Sub) has done (Present Perfect) its job (Obj) well (Adv) by highlighting (Gerund) them (Obj).
सारांश: इन सभी मुद्दों पर गंभीर विचार की आवश्यकता है, और सर्वेक्षण ने उन्हें सबसे आगे लाकर अपनी भूमिका प्रभावी ढंग से निभाई है।
