Expenditure on education, nutrition is a great investment: Rajan

Rajan says that allocating benefits for the poorest households is not a bad investment. “If I spend on better nutrition for kids or provide them good schooling, it is a great investment,” Rajan says during an exclusive interaction with Fortune India.
