Good to see the process moving forward. The AERA review is important too—hopefully it leads to more efficient and affordable air travel for the common man. The cost of flights within India is still quite high.

While the presentation is important, I hope the survey honestly addresses the challenges in the rural economy and agricultural sector. Growth numbers are fine, but we need to see if prosperity is reaching the farmers and small towns.

As an expat following Indian economic policy, the transparency of this process is commendable. The 65-day session allows for proper debate. Keen to see the outlook for FDI and the tech sector.

Hope the survey gives a realistic picture and not just a rosy one. The middle class is feeling the pinch with education and healthcare costs. Let's see if there are concrete indicators on disposable income and household savings.

The laying of eight Bills that have received assent is a key formality. It's good to see the parliamentary machinery working through its agenda systematically. The long session should allow for thorough discussion on the budget later.
