Students will benefit from this year’s Union Budget but there is a lot which remains to be done on the part of the government. Let’s go with the facts first. It’s been declared that students from weaker sections of society will not have to pay any interest during the study period for loans which are […]
Some time back, I wrote about the view points of directors of various business institutions on the Yashpal report. Recently I got Ajit Rangnekar, Dean of Indian School of Business (ISB), Hyderabad to present his views on the same document; He had some interesting suggestions: a) Abolition of all regulatory bodies such as the AICTE […]
