Education
is unquestionably one of the most important factors that impact the growth and
development of a state. Haryana has
witnessed a tremendous expansion in the field of higher education, both in
terms of quality and quantity, under the leadership of CM Shri Bhupinder Singh
Hooda and Shri Deepender Singh Hooda. It is apparent from the fact that State
Govt. has exponentially enhanced the annual budget allocation from
approximately Rs. 254.74 crores in 2004-05 to Rs. 1097.69 crores for the year 2013-14.
Currently, education at all levels is the priority of the state government.
The
enactment of the National Law University, Haryana Act in 2012 was one such
measure. The proposed University will be established at Rajiv Gandhi Education
City, Sonipat. 25 acres of land has been provided to the higher education department
for establishment of this university. The step is clearly aimed to improve the
state of higher education in the state.
Another
project undertaken by the Hooda led Haryana government is the constitution of
Haryana State Higher Education Council. It is an apex advisory body formed to
take policy decisions that facilitate access to higher education for all
segments of the society. It will also oversee this process with proper
planning; promote academic excellence by providing academic input for policy
formulation and guide the growth of higher education in accordance with the
socio-economic requirements of the state.
Shri
Deepender Singh has a keen interest in the technological revolution and the overall
impact it is capable of creating. I am
sure under his leadership, technology will improve education to a phenomenal
extent. Keeping the same perspective in mind, EDUSAT project has also been
launched. It is meant for imparting education through satellite. The project
has been implemented in 63 government colleges and 39 private colleges in the state. A total of Rs. 200 lacs has been sanctioned
during the current financial year towards this plan.
In
my upcoming blog, I will highlight few other initiatives that have been taken
by Shri Hooda and the Haryana government to improve the state of education in
Haryana.
