65
India's current finance minister Mr. Pranab Mukherjee, presented the 2009-2010 budget for India on July 6, 2009. Presenting a budget at a time when the world is struggling with recession and unemployment was a tough job. India has targets such as 9% GDP growth rate, all round development and to improve the working mechanism of the government.
India's GDP growth rate has dropped from 9 per cent in the previous three fiscal years to 6.7 per cent during 2008-09. There have been dramatic changes in the whole sale price index that rose to around 13% in August, 2008 and again fallen to zero% in March, 2009. The structure of India's economy changed over the last decade.
Mr. Pranab Mukherjee has done his best to prepare the 2009-2010 budget for India.
