“The first digital budget presented by the Union Finance Minister Ms. Nirmala Sitharaman is a practically fulfilling budget as it has duly focused on the key areas – health and education and provided robust infrastructure in these sectors. When it comes to education, the budget has announced every needed move to make education reach the last miles of the country be it setting up a higher education institute in Leh or the establishment of many tribal schools in the far-flung areas. The New Education Policy was noted in the Budget as having been well received. This is a direct result of the massive consultation process done with respect and inclusion. This is an exceptional policy win. The announcement of introducing the legislation this year to implement the setting-up of Higher Education Commission of India will uplift and make the education process in accord with the industry standards, thereby reducing the rampant unemployment rates,”
