Because believe it or not, the document, which maps the state of
India’s economy and is prepared by a team of economists based in
India's finance ministry, has cited Wikipedia twice in the Vol. 1 of
the survey on pages 150 & 151 respectively.

Wikipedia aka online encyclopedia, owned and supported by
Wikimedia Foundation is a website that is curated and managed by
volunteers all across the globe. While Wikipedia may assist you
with school and college assignments, using it as your primary data
source isn't advisable. For starters, Wikipedia pages are
susceptible to vandalism by miscreants on a daily basis - meaning,
you may end up extracting factually incorrect data from it. The free
website is also constantly undergoing changes every day by users,
making it all the more unreliable and unfit to use - especially in
sensitive documents such as the Economic Survey of India.

Baffled by this, several social media users pointed out the usage of
Wikipedia along with Survey's screenshots.
