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.
