Learning loss a tragedy, but no mention in Union Budget: Raghuram Rajan -Ranjitha Gunasekaran

-The New Indian Express

He said that instead of spending on the PLI schemes, the Centre should invest in filling the gaps in our education system, strengthening higher education, skilling, research, and development.

Former Governor of Reserve Bank of India, Raghuram Rajan has expressed concern over lack of focus on the learning loss caused due to Covid-19 among school children in the Union Budget, while a significant amount of money was allocated for production linked incentive (PLI) schemes meant for industries.

Delivering a lecture on 'Democracy and Indian Economic Development' at an event organised by the Madras Institute of Development Studies on Thursday, Rajan said, "The Budget barely mentions the tragedy that is overtaking our school children, especially the poor ones. That very few extra resources are being devoted to rescue a potentially lost generation of children is a serious omission. Devoting money to physical infrastructure while neglecting human infrastructure is absolutely a serious problem."
