Budget spend for education must be hiked

Indian education and training sector has not received the attention it deserves. Hopefully, the Budget will ensure address the following 3Ps for education sector:

* Participation: Private players should be allowed to participate and contribute to this sector in a more unfettered manner.

* Performance: Quality provided to the students needs to improve and should be monitored especially in state managed education institutions

* Proportion: Larger amount of money from the Budget needs to be allocated, as it is really an investment in India’s future

If these simple steps are taken, it will have a Domino’s effect on the entire education and training industry.
