ā100 crore budget for digital classroom seems insufficient to make any impact anywhere as this can only install a few thousand classrooms across over a million schools. In my opinion, changes to the definition of service tax exempt educational services will prove to be a burden on educational institutions. Most outsourced services that schools & colleges avail - expert lecturers / Teacher Training / Technical support services will now cost 12.36% more. Skill India Program is a welcome move to the need of the hour to keep "demographic dividend" from becoming "demographic liability."
