The Modi administration's budget for India in 2015 aims for 7.4% growth- allowing a fiscal deficit at 3.9% and increased spending on infrastructure

02/28/2015

The $288 billion budget aims to increase infrastructure spending to achieve a growth rate of 7.4%. A 2% tax on the superrich and rigorous penalties of 10 years imprisonment for tax evasion by sending money overseas are efforts to improve tax revenues in a country where it is estimated only 35 million Indians pay taxes. The lower oil prices help reduce pressures from fiscal deficits, and the decision was taken to let the fiscal deficit increase to 3.9% in the interests of growth.

We took a different way to help millions around the world build educated informed mindsets that affects and shapes their lives. For a future that is open, global and digital, with everyone having access to high quality information. We believe in the renewal of America, renewal of Europe, the renewal of India, the rest of Asia, Latin America and Africa. The renewal of our supply chains, health, education, infrastructure, as we rebuild our countries after the pandemic. Literacy and knowledge we believe cannot thrive and grow in a world of web bots, web crawlers, or AI. This requires human curiosity, human learning, and human imagination. We take as inspiration the saying- “One has to be free, and as broad as sky. One has to have a mind that is crystal clear, only then can truth shine in it.” Every contribution whether big or small is precious- in this crisis and ahead.
