00:00 If for a rupee spent on revenue expenditure, you get hardly 0.98 only, meaning for every
00:10 rupee spent, not even 98 paisa return comes.
00:14 Whereas when you spend on capital expenditure, for every rupee spent, in the short duration
00:22 you get about 1.46 paisa return, and in the medium and long term also there is return.
00:32 And therefore, the route of spending money through the public investment in infrastructure
00:41 gives us greater returns and in situ it creates jobs where the projects are being done, where
00:48 money is being spent, public money is being spent, jobs are created, local services also
00:53 benefit and that ripple effect in that ecosystem can have greater impact on the neighboring
01:01 economies which are smaller pockets which can become like ripples in a pond.
01:05 Thank you.
