BUDGET’S FOCUS ON POOR, WOMEN, YOUTH AND FARMERS WILL GO LONG WAY TO ENSURE DEVELOPED INDIA: ZEE LEARN LTD CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER

Bhubaneswar (01/02/2024): Manish Rastogi, Chief Executive Officer, Zee Learn Ltd commented, “The Budget has been on expected lines, considering it was a vote-on-account budget.

As per Union Finance Minister, female enrollment in higher education has increased by twenty-eight per cent in ten years as also a 43 per cent rate of female enrolment in STEM courses, which is heartening.

The Budget’s focus on the poor, women, youth and farmers will go a long way to ensure a developed India.

The additional funds for the infrastructure sector will surely benefit the overall economy.

Another important highlight is that 1.4 crore youth were trained under the Skill India Mission.” He adds, “Going forward, reduction in education loan rates will go a long way in turning the idea of Vikshit Bharat into a reality.

Steps should be taken to integrate more technology into education to bridge the digital divide.

A lowered GST rate would also be better.

It seems the FM has kept that for the full Budget to be presented later in the year.” .
