“I am happy to see the thrust on Education in the FM’s budget speech today. It reflects the youth potential of our country. Allocating 100 crores to virtual class rooms is welcome and sets the direction for leveraging technology in imparting Education, including Distance Education. Providing for girl child’s education through ‘Beti Bachao, Beti Padhao’ scheme is sending a right message
I would have expected to see bolder steps towards PPP in Education and larger incentives to research. I am hoping the implementations of various proposals are effective through good regulatory reforms and breaking down of unwanted archaic rules!”
