Economic Survey: Key Highlights of the document
The first Economic Survey was presented in 1950-51 along with the Union Budget but has been presented separately since 1964. Typically, the Economic Survey document is divided into two parts, A and B. Part A consists of major macroeconomic developments over the course of the fiscal year, as well as a broader review of the Indian economy. Part B, meanwhile, covers specific socio-economic issues pertaining to the economy. The Economic Survey, occasionally, can also have particular themes: for instance, the 2017-18 document was known as the Pink Economic Survey, with its focus on women, and was printed in pink to denote its focus on gender equality and women's empowerment. Separation of announcements was aimed at providing lawmakers and the public with important economic context, including data-driven views on the condition of the economy ahead of the Budget. The document, by identifying challenges and other issues, also gives crucial context for policy direction.Budget 2026: Important dates to know ahead of Budget Session
