Academics doubtful of adequacy of funds, warn against bureaucratic hurdles
While praising the State Budget for providing an impetus to the higher education sector, academics wonder if the allocations are adequate. Many have also called for efforts to ensure that the projects are not entangled in bureaucratic hurdles.
P.M. Rajan Gurukkal, Vice Chairman, Kerala State Higher Education Council (KSHEC), applauded the Budget, terming it one that invested in knowledge and human capital for growth in the long run. He said it could be the first time in the country that a Budget recognised new knowledge and the need to democratise its benefits as the key drivers to productivity, growth and equitable social development.
