Digital university to be set up to provide education, says FM Sitharaman

During the Union Budget speech on Tuesday, Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman proposed to set up a digital university to provide education that will be built on a hub and spoke model.

The FM said that the 1-Class-1-TV channel will be implemented to provide supplementary education to children to make up for the loss of formal education due to the pandemic, noting that hospitality services by the small and medium sectors are yet to bounce back.

Recognising the importance of 'Nari Shakti', she said three schemes were launched to provide integrated development for women and children.
