Budget is very innovative and out of the box: Manan Choksi, ED, Udgam School

Views on Union Budget 2019

Manan Choksi, Executive Director of Udgam School for Children has said that the budget is very innovative and out-of-the-box for the Education sector.

Commenting on the budget, Manan Choksi, Executive Director, Udgam School for Children said “The Union Budget was very innovating and out-of-the-box. Mention of New Education Policy in the budget means that education of School and College is acknowledged by the Finance Minister and steps towards its implementation will be supported by the entire Cabinet and not just MHRD. The aim of getting foreign students to study in India is laudable. The “Study in India” initiative is first of its kind and I am sure that about $7 billion annually spent by Indian Parents for foreign education of their children will get substantially reduced if World Class Institutions are brought in India. The proposal of “Social Stock Exchange” is very interesting as it will be regulated by SEBI and social welfare schemes will be regulated. Much of these funds will go to much-needed sectors like Healthcare and Education” he added."
