Post-budget 2018 Reaction Ms. Vandana Arora, Principal of Nahar International School on the Union Budget 2018-19

We are glad that the 2018 Budget has a forward looking vision with benefits for those sectors that much need them. As announced, specifically for the education sector, having an integrated B.Ed. program, with teacher-training as its main focus, will boost the workforce towards being more aware and skilled. I am glad to hear that Rs. 1 lakh crore are to be invested over the next 4 years into a new drive to boost Research and Development. With cutting edge technology, we feel that DIGITAL INDIA will increase the digital intensity of the education sector. It is also a pleasure to hear about the move to digital smart boards, because it is a sign of how extensively education has been considered while forming the budget.
