Reaction for Union Budget 2019

Dr. Sandeep Pachpande, Chairman, Audyogik Shikshan Mandal (ASM) Group

 We whole-heartedly welcome the “Study in India’ initiative by the government to attract foreign students. It’s been long due and I am sure this will impact positively to the economy. We are yet to receive the detail of the initiative and the plan for the initiative, but we will definitely do our best to support it. The proposed allocation of 400 crore to higher education institutes will help cater many students across country. However, the requirement is much more and we were expecting a larger percentage of the budget will be allocated for it. Though in last 4 years the government has underspent the allocated budget for the sector, we are hoping the scenario will be different in FY20.
