India's Chief Economic Adviser K Subramanian on Friday drew examples from popular culture to illustrate conclusions in the national Economic Survey, a policy document on the state of economy that underpins the drafting of the annual budget due next week. Dropping references from the 2009 blockbuster '3 Idiots' and the much-loved TV series 'Malgudi Days' from the late 1980s, Mr Subramanian tried to highlight the need for increasing health expenditure and focusing on economic growth to tackle poverty.
