education budget inadequate Hike by 17%
Even though the allocation for education in the union Budget has been hiked academicians feel shortchanged after going through the details.
N G Ganar, MLC (Teachers Constituency), said, "The hike in education Budget is just over 17 per cent whereas it should have been almost 100 per cent minimum. The central government wants to implement the Right To Education ( RTE) fully without providing the necessary funding for it. I would say that the government is talking about buying a chopper whereas they don't even have money for a cycle."
Deepak Bajaj, a well known academician, said, "We are disappointed that the government is not considering education as a priority and this 17 per cent increase is of no use to us. For any country education sector should be a priority as it will build a base for the future. Needless to say that the government has to invest in it if it wants reap the benefits."
Mahesh Karajgaonkar, deputy director (education), said, "The government has allocated Rs48,000 crore while it should have given at least Rs60,000 crore. With this budget allocation we will not be able to deliver the goods, in fact it will be tough to even maintain the current infrastructure."
