After former Prime Minister late Indira Gandhi, Sitharaman is the second Union Finance Minister of the country.
A day ahead of the Union Budget, Sitharaman on Thursday tabled the Economic Survey which has given a call for a sustained 8% growth rate for India to become a USD 5 Trillion Economy by 2024-25. The government forecast the real GDP growth for the year to 7% percent this year, while being wary of checking the fiscal deficit.
