Union Budget 2010 feedbacks from university and corporate circles
There has been a mixed response from people on initiatives proposed by the Finance Minister in education sector. While some call it a balanced budget, others feel that the need for subsidizing corporate sector to train freshers has been ignored. According to corporate houses, the involvement of big firms in the graduate level education should have been listed in the agenda to trigger the employability of undergraduates. Moreover, the involvement of private industry in association with government should be encouraged to polish the skills of the students.
The response from students and business professionals has not been positive. They believe that higher education was completely ignored by the Finance Minister and more importance was given to elementary and basic education by allocating a 16% hike.
