JALANDHAR: The budget that is announced today is quite balanced as it will boost spending towards growth-oriented policies. This will create more job opportunities, boost manufacturing, help agri-economy & infrastructure creation. In short, it is a mix of short-term boost & long-term structural emphasis.
The announcement of the formation of a Digital University to provide access to world-class education to Indian students is a wonderful decision. The budget also includes the decision to promote digital learning citing the prolonged closure of schools impacting students’ academic performance. This will help students coping up with latest teaching techniques.
