Union Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman today announced 8 new projects to revive the economy affected by the corona. He also announced a Rs 1.1 lakh crore loan guarantee scheme for various sectors including health and tourism.
The spread of the corona virus will have major consequences worldwide by 2020. Cao not only inflicted physical harm and loss of life on human beings but also revolutionized the world economy. Following this, the central government announced various financial assistance schemes to revive the economy.
Then the restrictions were gradually relaxed after the corona effects began to subside. The factories began to operate. Migrant workers who had returned home began to return to the states where they had worked. With the Indian economy slowly recovering, the corona is now hitting a second wave again.
As a result, the federal government is resuming efforts to revive the economy as the situation begins to worsen after World War II. It has caused job losses for many in various sectors. Many companies, including tourism and hotels, are paralyzed.
As a result, the central government today announced a Rs 1.1 lakh crore loan guarantee scheme for various sectors affected by the corona.
