Sansad Watch Ep 7: What is the national monetisation pipeline and will it work?

The economy is a mess and the government is out of money.

So, to get some paisa in, the government has announced a grand national monetisation pipeline, where assets identified from 13 sectors will be "monetised" out to private companies.

What is this new scheme? Will it even work? Watch to find out.
