Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman - -×
Calls 25 entrepreneurs on Sunday for views on how best to manage ‘life vs livelihood’ conundrum
It was a busy Sunday for Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman as she worked her phone all day to reach out to entrepreneurs and industrialists across the country. She did this to calm their nerves, brief them about the steps the government is taking to tackle the raging pandemic and most importantly, seek their views on the best possible way to manage the ‘life vs livelihood’ conundrum. And, if more stringent containment measures become necessary, how best can they be applied without hurting the economic activity.
