Addressed the CDE-IEDS International Conference at Delhi School of Economics today on the vital interplay between economic development, demographic transition, and environmental sustainability.
Guided by Hon’ble PM Shri @narendramodi Ji’s vision that development and environmental stewardship must progress hand in hand, our focus remains on building an economically dynamic, technologically innovative, and environmentally responsible 🇮🇳.
For a Viksit Bharat, rapidly growing urban centres like Delhi must lead the way by aligning human potential with opportunity, expanding green cover, strengthening sustainable urban planning, and investing in renewable energy for long-term resilience.
Extended best wishes to the distinguished scholars, academicians, and students participating in the conference.
Reducing river water pollution could be an effective way to mitigate the deleterious effects of climate change on agricultural yields.

Open
access reform
India’s electricity market reduces electricity prices and increases labor share. Accelerating reform and removing cross-subsidization surcharges would generate broad
gains
for both industry and workers.

In the inaugural session of the #PanelDiscussion on "Macroeconomic Policy for #ViksitBharat2047", our president, @priyadarshi_crf, @EgrowFoundation's Chief Executive Officer, @charansingh60 and Prof. @surender672, @DelhiSchoolOfEC highlighted
- Why macro discussions right after the #UnionBudget2026 are critical for VB@47
- #ViksitBharat = four years of rigorous work, not a knee-jerk idea
- The 22-step ladder analogy (22 budgets to 2047)
- Role of #ThinkTanks in building the roadmap
- Viksit Bharat must first live in the minds of scholars and debates
- Need for 7-8% real growth (11-12% nominal)
- Impact of rupee depreciation → need for higher growth
- Focus on #MSMEs, productivity (TFP), and capital accumulation
- Addressing demand constraints & integrating local markets nationally
- Need for aligned fiscal + monetary policy

Smt @nsitharaman holds a Pre-Budget Interaction with students of the Delhi School of Economics, University of Delhi, led by its Director Professor Ram Singh (@RamSinghEcon), in connection with the upcoming Union Budget 2026–27 in New Delhi.
During the interaction, students put forward a wide range of suggestions on skilling, green energy, rural development, new economy among others for consideration in the Union Budget.
While delivering the Diamond Jubilee Valedictory Lecture at DSE in November 2025, the Hon’ble Minister had encouraged the students of DSE to share their suggestions for the Union Budget.
Emphasising the importance of sustained academic engagement, she had stated that this practice should continue every year, and that ideas must be drawn from young minds who study economics to help guide the nation’s Budget every year, as the country works towards becoming a #ViksitBharat by 2047.
The Pre-Budget interaction with the students of DSE was attended by the Secretary, Department of Economic Affairs (DEA).
Delhi School of Economics (DSE) will have an open invitation every year to come up with a set of ideas that you would want to see in the Union Budget.
Let this practice happen every year from now. And that's with the hope that we will have ideas, from young minds who have chosen to be in the field of economics, to guide the country's budget every year so that we will have a #ViksitBharat by 2047.
I assure you that all Secretaries of @FinMinIndia, along with myself, will be present to listen to your suggestions.
- Smt @nsitharaman.
