Balancing Defence Modernization with Economic Priorities
Context from today’s quiz: India approved its largest-ever defence acquisition—114 Rafale jets worth ~₹3.25 lakh crore—while simultaneously doubling the Agriculture Infrastructure Fund to ₹2 lakh crore and expanding welfare schemes like PM RAHAT and Lakhpati Didis.
