Economic Survey 2015 is a special one, in the sense that it was presented this time, in two Volumes, each of 150 Page, departing from one Volume traditional ritual.
Without much discussion, I will present 22 most important Images in this post, (from Volume 1) which unravel the mysteries of Indian Economics.
( Btw, click here, if you wish to get your basics right, about Indian Economics, for your GS Preparation -

Analyse each picture, understand the subtleties. - That part is left to the reader :-p
