The Economic Survey, which evaluates the wellbeing and status of the economy, makes way for the Union Budget. Nonetheless, in takeoff from ongoing years' act of the Survey being distributed in two volumes, the Economic Survey for 2021-22 has been distributed in a solitary volume. Likewise, curiously, the current year's Survey has been arranged by Principal Economic Adviser Sanjeev Sanyal, without any a Chief Economic Adviser — a post to which V Anantha Nageswaran was selected exclusively on Friday.

What is the historical backdrop of the Economic Survey?

Sanyal has noticed the historical backdrop of the archive that presents the financial report card of the public authority and ideas on potential changes.

The Survey was first distributed in 1950-51 and was under 50 pages, at first being a piece of the Budget reports. It contained a concise layout of monetary improvements of the earlier year. The Survey of 1957-58 had only 38 pages, Sanyal noted, adding that it was fundamentally clear and contained minimal in the method of examination and strategy remedies. Throughout the long term the length and the substance of the Survey continued to grow.

When did the Survey start getting introduced in two volumes?

Following the worldwide monetary emergency in 2007-08 and 2008-09, a logical part was added about the country's medium-term difficulties and full scale financial possibilities, and more topical sections were incorporated to catch these perspectives. In 2013-14, the factual supplement was fully explored and distributed as a different volume. In 2014-15, the Economic Survey was introduced as two volumes: Volume 1 had various parts tending to effective arrangement worries, while Volume 2 conveyed the customary Economic Survey alongside the measurable reference section.

For what reason was the current year's Survey managed down to a solitary volume?

Sanyal brought up that the Economic Survey of 2020-21 "comprised of 335 pages in Volume 1, 368 pages in Volume 2 and a measurable supplement of 174 pages - a sum of 877 pages!" "As may be obvious, the Economic Survey has gone through a lot of development throughout the long term. The two volume design permitted space for acquiring novel thoughts and subjects however, at just about 900 pages, it was likewise becoming awkward," he composed, adding that the topical parts of Volume 1 were not being sufficiently connected to the sectoral parts in Volume 2. The current year's Economic Survey has consequently been managed down to 413 pages.

Have earlier year's Economic Surveys been introduced by anybody other than the CEA?

Indeed, prior, in July 2014, the then Principal Economic Adviser Ila Patnaik had arranged the Survey without a CEA following Raghuram Rajan's transition to the RBI months sooner.
