Union Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman is expected to present the Union Budget on February 1 (Saturday). Industry leaders are waiting with bated breath for the Union government to reveal its strategy to drive growth and ensure every sector meets its full potential.
Deepakk Kummar, the Founder and Chairman of EIMR Business School is hoping for significant investments in high-quality entrepreneurship skill development programs in the education sector.
"We urge the government to allocate dedicated funding for high-quality entrepreneurship skill development programs, enabling students to tackle real-world challenges. Consistent funding is crucial for student-led initiatives, complemented by tax incentives for academic-industry partnerships, incubator expansions, and research grants to fortify the education ecosystem," he said.
In order to propel the education sector forward Kummar said, "We advocate for simplifying regulatory frameworks for ed-tech startups and fostering public-private partnerships."
He added,"Moreover, streamlining the setup of incubation centers within business schools, equipped with essential tools like 3D printers and software development kits, will cultivate innovation from the outset."
