However, as things stand right now, we teach about the nation and other countries but not about our own culture. It is our duty to impart our expertise to our offspring. This has been the case—just create the policy and forget it—but the moment to address it is now. Knowledge fades away, but it always returns. We need to protect our legacy if we want to alter our mindset.

Post-Budget Reaction from Education & Health Industry

February 5, 2024:

Vivek Kumar Gupta,Registrar, Sharda University

The government has prioritized the education sector, aiming to establish over 300 universities. Additionally, a committee has been formed to create new medical colleges to meet the demand for medical education, and efforts are underway to enhance health services. The goal includes providing 2 crore new houses for the underprivileged in rural areas and supplying free solar electricity (up to 300 units) to 1 crore households.

Col. Gaurav Dimri, HR Director, Sharda University

Budget 2024 places a significant emphasis on the education sector, aligning with the goals outlined in the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020. The focus is on digitalizing education, incorporating technologies like AI and machine learning, promoting STEM research, and fostering collaboration between academic institutions and industry for research and entrepreneurship. Recognizing the youth as a crucial pillar of development, the government has allocated resources in the interim budget to address their aspirations and promote empowerment and upskilling:

  1. The establishment of medical colleges using existing infrastructure is a commendable step towards expanding the scope of medical education and research, benefiting the healthcare sector.

  2. The creation of a Rs 1 lakh crore corpus dedicated to integrating youth with research and technological development is a significant move. This corpus provides long-term financing for R&D projects and entrepreneurial ventures, offering low or nil interest rates, thereby encouraging and scaling up research initiatives.

  3. The support for defense sector-related R&D and projects is also a positive measure, contributing to the advancement of technology and innovation in the defense domain.

CA Gopal Gupta, Joint Registrar -Finance and Accounts, Sharda University

The Finance Minister presented the interim Budget today, which left the salaried class disappointed due to the absence of changes in tax slabs. Many were anticipating increased deductions or alterations in tax slabs, but there were no adjustments in duties either. The government refrained from making major announcements.

On a positive note, there is a notable emphasis on the education sector, with the government setting a goal to establish over 300 universities. Additionally, a committee has been formed to create new medical colleges to address the needs of medical students and enhance healthcare services. The government has also set ambitious targets, aiming to provide 2 crore new houses to the poor in rural areas and offering free solar electricity (up to 300 units) to 1 crore households.

Dr. Bhupendra Kumar Gautam, Associate Professor,Sharda University

Today, Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman presented the Union Budget (Interim Budget) for the fiscal year 2024-2025, primarily centered around achieving long-term economic growth. The government aims to reduce the fiscal deficit to 5.1 percent by the financial year 2025. Key highlights include plans to establish more medical colleges, providing free electricity (up to 300 units per month) to one crore households through rooftop solarization, offering long-term interest-free loans to states to boost tourism, and addressing housing needs for the middle class. Additionally, there is tax relief for startups until March 31, 2025.

However, the salaried class expressed disappointment with the budget, expecting an increase in income tax slabs and the limit for Tax saving schemes under section 80C to be raised to at least Rs. 250,000. Similarly, they hoped for an increase in the NPS limit to Rs. 100,000. Unfortunately, there were no changes in income tax slabs, and the limits under sections 80C and 80CCD(1B) remained unchanged. Overall, the budget places a significant focus on fostering long-term economic growth.

Avinash Kr Sinha Management Professor,Sharda University

The government's emphasis on solar rooftops is a positive step towards addressing future energy needs. The vision for a developed India, Vikshit Bharat, by 2047, will strengthen financial infrastructure through the integration of digital technology and applications. The addition of 390 universities for skill development aims to make at least 2 million youth employable, fostering a skilled workforce for the nation.

Dr. Preeti Sharma, Associate Professor, Sharda School of Business Studies, Sharda University

The allocation of a Rs 1 lakh crore fund in Budget 2024 by Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman is a promising development for the youth. The creation of this fund, supported by a 50-year interest-free loan, represents a significant boost for long-term financing and re-financing initiatives, especially with the provision of low or no interest rates. This financial injection is anticipated to stimulate entrepreneurship and innovation among the youth, contributing to economic growth and job creation. This initiative aligns with the government's vision of a 'Golden Era,' demonstrating a strategic commitment to empowering the younger generation and steering the economy towards sustained prosperity.

Dr. Hari Shankar Shyam, Chairperson-Executive Education at Sharda School of Business Studies Sharda University

I'm thrilled to witness the significant allocation of funds for offering 50-year interest-free loans to tech-savvy youths. This initiative holds the potential to fuel our economy, paving the way for the emergence of numerous unicorns and encouraging a wave of entrepreneurial spirit among the youth. The allocation will not only contribute to the development of indigenous technical products but also propel our economy towards the trillion-dollar mark. With a boost in IT-related exports, there's a promising prospect of reducing our fiscal deficit and minimizing dependency on imports. This fund stands as a boon for incubators supporting startups nationwide.

Dr. Kulneet Suri Senior Director, IMS Noida, Adjunct Professor-Harvard University(T.H.Chan School of Public Healthcare) Harvard University, HKS Alumna

While serving as a temporary bridge until the formation of a new government post-elections, the budget has unveiled several notable initiatives to stimulate economic growth and enhance social welfare. Although the interim budget covers areas like Technology & Innovation, Women's empowerment, and healthcare, the emphasis should be directed towards embracing AI. Looking forward to AI trends in 2024, this year marks the transition of AI from testing to macro-implementation, particularly in industries like retail. Microsoft's introduction of the "AI Copilot key" for laptops indicates a strong likelihood of AI becoming more mainstream in the consumer landscape in 2024. Consequently, India should proactively prepare by making intentional investments in teaching new skills, fostering collaborative development and deployment of AI. Promoting online learning is crucial to reach the youth in Tier 2-3 cities, shaping an inclusive learning future and facilitating a learn-and-work ecosystem. Implementing positive policies for the higher education sector will further contribute to fostering academic growth and ensuring equitable economic advancement.

Dr VK Gautam, HOD , Orthopedics Department, Sharda Hospital.

The government ought to allocate funds for health insurance specifically catering to lower-class patients seeking medical care. Ayushman cards, designed for those who may not require them, should be readily accessible in all hospitals. This would streamline the process, ensuring that economically disadvantaged patients can easily obtain Ayushman cards and receive cost-free treatment.

Dr Bhumesh Tyagi, General Physician, Sharda Hospital

The Finance Minister's proposal to boost the number of medical colleges in the country, as outlined in the interim budget, is poised to simplify access to medical education. Additionally, there is a focus on advancing maternal and child health, which holds the potential to decrease infant mortality rates and enhance maternal well-being. The Ayushman Bharat scheme will now extend its coverage to include all Asha workers, Anganwadi workers, and helpers, ensuring that individuals from lower socioeconomic backgrounds can easily access healthcare services.

Dr. Shrey Srivastav, general physician, Sharda Hospital

The government's budget for FY2023-24 showcases highly commendable initiatives in the realm of women's health, maternal and child health, vaccinations, and the expansion of the Ayushman Bharat scheme to encompass all ASHA Workers, Anganwadi workers, and helpers. The introduction of new schemes like Saksham Anganwadi, Poshan 2.0, and the U-win app reflects a proactive and praiseworthy approach.

Expectations From Upcoming Budget – Education & Health Sector

 

Dr. Sibaram Khara, Vice Chancellor, Sharda University

We anticipate great things from the incoming budget, as we are among the best private colleges in the world. We hope to see a 10% increase in funding for higher education, especially for private universities. We are looking for funding for research and innovation, financial support from the government for projects, and help with technology partnership with industry and top research centres. Furthermore, we expect a twenty percent rise in the funding provided to universities to assist with startup incubators, career training, and entrepreneurship. Furthermore, we are requesting permission and support to open campuses of Indian higher education institutions abroad. Support is one of the most important things we need in order to establish India as a hub for internationalization.

 

Rajeev Gupta, Admission Director, Sharda University

Since the salaried class is the largest income tax payer and does not receive any benefits in their daily lives, budgets before to 2024–2025 neglected them. They anticipate higher income tax rates as well as additional benefits in their daily lives, such as free health insurance, free tolls on toll plazas, and reduced GST for taxpayers in higher tax brackets. As a result, he or she takes pride in paying more income tax.

 

Prof. (Dr.) Jayanthi Ranjan, Dean Academic Affairs, Sharda University

Key elements for the higher education sector are what I anticipate to see in the Union Budget. I hope that more money will be given to the education sector, which will enable upgrades to research facilities, infrastructure, and academic advancement in general. Funding for research and innovation is essential, and incentives for cooperative initiatives that meet industrial demands should be included. Initiatives for skill development in collaboration with the government would improve graduates' employability. In order to improve our university's reputation internationally, I aim for policies that encourage the use of technology in the classroom and programs that foster cross-national partnerships. Higher education would become more accessible if there was financial support for students in the form of scholarships and inexpensive education regulations. Moreover, tax breaks for universities and financing for systems of quality control would support the upkeep of high academic standards. 

 

Dr. Nihar Ranjan Roy, Associate Professor, Center for Cyber Security and Cryptology, Sharda University

There is no debate today that IT is the new highway for development. The upcoming budget must focus on this, especially sub areas like: building digital Infrastructure, skill development, Research and development (Quantum Computing, Cyber Security, and Generative AI) , Cyber security (Awareness and defense) and  promoting startups. It must also focus on simplifying processes. Govt. must focus on technologies of the future  like quantum computing and building quantum computers, securing Bharat’s digital space, having our own data centers and using the data for AI and  decision making for new policies. More and more IT based skilling and promoting startups is required. The threats coming from the latest cyberspace should be addressed and awareness must be created among citizens. Strict rules related to privacy, spamming and phishing should be made and strictly implemented. Number of Cyber police and centers should be increased. 

 

 

R.D. Sahay, Advisor Policy, Sharda University

Our primary expectation from the upcoming budget is an increased allocation of funds in real terms to the higher education sector. Since at present R&D expenditure, as a proportion to GDP, is only 0.7%, there has to be a substantial increase in grants for research and innovation; such increase is imperative for creation of new knowledge and crucial for propelling the sector forward to keep pace with the global standards. Creation of new knowledge is likely to result in development of new technologies, possibility of new businesses, innovation, entrepreneurship and start-ups. Further, the budget should stimulate certain structural reforms in the economy by providing fiscal incentive and facilitating greater collaboration between the industry and academia, thereby ensuring that the curriculum remains relevant and student’s industry-ready upon graduation.

 

Dr AK Gadpayle, Head Deptt of Medicine, Sharda Hospital

We feel that stability in corporate tax rate, strengthening of manufacturing units,investor grab opportunity, attract private funding, increase health sector GDP, special program for mental health and Geriatic,more funding for power,emphasis on green hydrogen, care for global warming,sanitation and pollution,  care for capital expenditure, building communication, like road,sea,air ,providing safe drinking water, income tax on home appliances,grocery to be reduced.

Average college life. You don't have to choose this college if you have better options.

Placements: The amount that a student pays for an MBA course is not justified by the placement offers that the students get. Some students get promised a package during the selection round but when they go to the company, it doesn't remain the same. The college doesn't get good placements for the students. Hardly 40–50% of students get placed through college.

Sharda university is very good to pursue further studies .

Placements: As I am an M.A. fresher in this university and I am an undergraduate, I don't know much about the placement in detail, but as I have heard from seniors, the placement was not so good in this course.

Placements: In the civil department of M.Tech, out of 37 students, only a few (3-4) were placed. The students who were placed were all international students. All students were just pretending to take internships, but no one was actually doing it. Roles are I am not aware. As all students were seniors or had an age gap (6-7 years), a proper talk was necessary.
