Union Budget 2015 - Reaction on proposals towards Education

Mr S Vaitheeswaran, MD and CEO , Manipal Global Education Services Pvt Ltd.

"Increased thrust on skilling through education and sustained focused on job creation is necessary for initiatives such as 'make in India' to become a reality. The government has to be applauded for the various steps it has taken in this direction. This also reflects the important role played by today's youth in nation building. Making Higher education affordable especially to the rural youth through loan scheme is a commendable initiative. The government could have also looked at wider adoption of PPP in setting up world class educational institutions. While the issue of affordability has been addressed, initiatives to improve accessibility through the use of technology could have been included." This is particularly relevant given the PM's focus on Digital India. Hope it is covered in the details.
