CATCH ME UP
Critics say India’s economic and statistical data has lost credibility.
A recent dispute centered on glowing 7.8% GDP growth figures.
Former finance secretary Subhash Garg is among those alleging the government manipulated numbers.
The criticism also points to a recent IMF rating and delayed census data.
More context
Government representatives reject the claims as ill-informed and politically motivated.
In a separate profile, 21-year-old economics graduate Anupriya Nagar became a film producer after research on Steve Jobs and Neem Karoli Baba.
Nagar had planned to move to Switzerland for an art industry job before a chance meeting with director Vishal Chaturvedi.
That collaboration led to her involvement as producer for the film Hanuman Ansh.
