The Economic Survey 2025 talks about India’s economy, highlighting both the good things and the challenges in reaching the expected 6.3–6.8% growth. It looks at farming, factories, and online shopping, offering ways to improve them.
GDP Growth Challenges: The survey says it may be hard to reach the expected growth. To grow faster, India needs to make important changes and simplify rules. The government will also focus on saving money and supporting the economy next year.
Agricultural Sector Strength: India’s farming has been doing well because the government has helped farmers by improving their work and income. However, changing weather can still be a problem. Farmers who do other things like animal care or fishing can better handle these challenges.
Manufacturing and Services: The survey talks about how factories and services like banking and shopping are connected. New technologies like computers and robots are changing how they work. To grow in both areas, people need to learn new skills. The survey also says we need simpler rules to help these sectors grow.
Open Network for Digital Commerce (ONDC): ONDC is a new system that helps people buy and sell things online easily, even if they are on different websites. It has already helped many small businesses, including farmers, reach more customers. In November 2024, it had over 14 million transactions.
