#Budget2016: Post Budget 2016 reaction by Mr. Partha Iyengar – VP & Gartner Fellow, Country Manager Research (India), Gartner
The budget has a number of positives in it – though in some cases they are ‘baby steps’:
- Focus on rural skills development and improvement of rural digital literacy
- Incenting the creation of domestic IP, driving domestic innovation
- Creating a favorable environment for startups
- Focus on infrastructure outlays
- Continuing the ‘Make in India’ focus with a few more specific ‘catalysts’ announced in the budget
- The focus on ‘Quality of Education’ as a specific initiative
As always though, the devil is in the implementation of these schemes. It is good to see a mention of review of program effectiveness as one of the goals in the budget, but till we see that followed up religiously it is hard to give it credence.
