  As India strides into the second half of the decade, 2025 marks a significant moment in its economic journey — a blend of post-pandemic recovery, digital acceleration, and structural reform. The Indian economy in 2025 reflects both the challenges of a developing nation and the aspirations of a rising global power. 1. Growth Trajectory: A Mixed Bag India’s GDP growth rate in 2025 is projected to be around 6.5%–7%, a robust figure in the global context, especially as many developed economies grapple with slower growth or recessionary trends. However, this growth is not without its caveats — rural distress, uneven recovery in consumption, and a cautious global environment continue to act as constraints. Still, sectors like services, digital economy, infrastructure, and manufacturing (spurred by "Make in India" and PLI schemes) are driving the rebound. 2. Inflation and Interest Rates: Treading the Tightrope Inflation in early 2025 has remained moderate, within the RBI’s toleran...

💸 Why Is the Indian Rupee Falling Against the US Dollar? A Simple Explanation for Everyone By Lalan Choudhary | BPSC Rank 72 Recently, a friend innocently asked me on WhatsApp: “Why is the rupee falling so much against the dollar? Is India’s economy doing badly?” It’s a great question — and the short answer is no, this fall is not due to India's weak economy, but due to global factors, especially what's happening in the United States. In this post, let’s break it down in simple terms so that anyone can understand. 📉 What’s Causing the Rupee to Fall? If you look at the trend, you’ll notice the rupee has consistently depreciated against the US dollar over the past months and years. However, this is not because India is failing. Instead, it’s mainly because: Inflation is rising in the US. The US Federal Reserve is aggressively raising interest rates to control that inflation.

For a long time , it was felt that their was no need to have seperate branches of economics and what happens at individual level will always works at agregate level , for countries etc. But the great economic depression of 1929 changed all of that and micro economic solutions were inadequate for solving the pressing issues of unemployment , low wages and falling of big banks . now its a clear notion that economics has two branches. Micro economics - it focues on how individual consumers, firms etc makes decision and it also explain why and how different goods are valued differently. for example my this blog is valued at 0 rupee since its free  and also how individuals make financial decison relating to saving and investment and how market works at micro level.

  What and why of economics ? The boring and correct  way to define Economics is that " Economics is a science which deals with the production , distribution and consumption of goods and services.  but the more easy way to explain to a beginner is the scarce definition .   According to Robbins , " Economics is a science which studies human behavior as a relationship between ends and scarce means which have alternative uses. " So according to me economics is  a science which came into existence for maximum utilization of minimum resource. the definition of economics is incomplete without the wealth definition of Adam smith (father of economics) he defined economics as " Economics is a science which inquired into the nature and causes of wealth of nations". My favorite definition and most philosophical definition is given by Alfred marshal , who said " Economics is the study of man in the ordinary business of life ".
