Budget 2021: Thinking desi, being desi and protecting rural spaces- The New Indian Express
It’s Budget Day today. The honourable Finance Minister of India will table the Budget and its recommendations in the House of Parliament, even as you finish reading this.

Most certainly not its desires. And definitely not its aspirations. I am going to just take you through five things we must not do to rural India, come what may. Businesses and marketers typically see the rural opportunity as the biggest one to tap.
