Key Highlights of the Conversation:

- The Hon’ble PM wants us to be self-reliant and wants to focus on the supply chain.
- One of the parts of the package concentrates on migrant workers, homeless people and related people.
- There has been some misinformation about the government doing nothing for these migrant workers and homeless people.
- Government has also allocated considerable amount of funds for MSMEs and middle-class workers.
- Many economies around the world are pumping money into the economy.
- Banks are currently not lending much money because of the apprehension to lend money to those who do not have predictable cash flows.
