Budget 2019, presented by the Finance Minister Ms. Nirmala Sitharaman, reiterated the government’s focus skill development, reforms in education and research and facilitating an ecosystem for entrepreneurial growth in India. With the driving message that “Indian economy will become $3 trillion economy in this year itself. It is now 5th largest in the world and in purchasing power parity terms, it is the third largest, behind only U.S. and China”, the minister emphasized on rural and social entrepreneurship through ease of doing business for farmers and a host of initiatives to skill and empower traditional artisans to contribute to the economic growth, with Gaon, Garib and Kisan being the center of all efforts.

Budget 2019 Increase in allocations to skill development

“According to the ministry data, the allocation to the department was Rs 3,400 crore (budget estimate) in 2018-19. The ministry data suggests that the government has allocated Rs 2,989 crore to the department for 2019-20, compared to the revised estimate of Rs 2,820 crore in the last fiscal. It had, however, planned for Rs 3,400 crore in the last fiscal, meaning the ministry eventually spent roughly Rs 600 crore less than was allocated to it. The government is looking to formulate a National Policy for Reskilling and Upskilling for creating industry responsive workforce.” Source: MoneyControl
