Economic Survey

Economic Survey for 2017-18 was presented in the parliament  in the last week of January. The Budget was presented later on Feb 1st. Economic Survey is prepared by the Chief Economic Adviser to the government whereas the Budget is prepared by the Finance Minister.

Economic Survey is an academic paper that reveals the state of the economy. The Budget is an unashamedly political document. Normally copies of both are made available in all major cities within a couple of days of presentation.

Though the copies of the Budget were made available this year within 2 days, copies of Economic Survey are yet to find their way in major cities. Is there more to this than what meets the eye?
