Budget has shown govt’s commitment towards education sector: Radha Bhatia

“The first ever budget presented by a woman finance minister is a matter of pride for me and all women in the country. Sitharaman has done a commendable job in the prudent allocation of funds. We hope that the execution of the vision is also as diligently carried out. This budget has shown the government’s commitment towards the education sector. We look forward to the new education policy for school and higher education which should also focus on the training of teachers and the methodology for creative learning. With the quality of education growing in the country, it is encouraging that the government is allocating Rs400 cr for the development of the sector. I also strongly believe in Mahatma Gandhi’s ideologies and Creating a Gandhi-pedia is a welcome move not only for Indian youth but also the world. India’s skills are well acknowledged globally, and many countries are thriving because of skilled Indian people. What we need to focus on in Skill India is developing this further through hands on teaching methods which are supported by practical work. The Finance Minister has addressed the major concerns about taxation of sections, except the senior citizens. ”
