Finance Ministry now has an official YouTube Channel, which is expected to disseminate information about the official events.

The Channel will feature videos on the major schemes, events, meetings, press conferences and other exclusive videos relating to the Ministry.

Finance Minister Arun Jaitley, who launched the channel, said there are lot of announcements and explanations from time to time by the Finance Ministry with regard to Indian economy which is continuously debated in public.

He said therefore there is a need for a platform where this entire material should be made available.

Although most of the activities are in public domain, yet to make it easier for the world outside to know about the same, this YouTube official channel of the Ministry would be a useful platform, he said.

Finance Secretary Ratan.P.Watal, Economic Affairs Secretary Shaktikanta Das and Revenue Secretary Hasmukh Adhia were also present on the occasion.
