Strengthening India's Export Hub Status: Budget 2023 Highlights

Empowering India's Global Trade Potential: Key Highlights from the 2023 Budget

The much awaited budget of the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) administration was recently revealed by Indian Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman, to a varied reception. A number of indirect steps have been implemented to support domestic manufacturing and export, even if there are no specific policies to increase export.

Helping Hand to Electronics Manufacturing

The nation was a major importer of mobile phones until 2018, but because to the government's concentrated efforts on the mobile phone industry, it is now a net exporter of these goods. The announcement of the lowering and relaxation of taxes on specific parts for televisions and mobile phones can only help these sectors, increasing the cost-competitiveness of production and solidifying India's position as a hub for mobile phone exports.

As Arijeet Talapatra, CEO of Transsion India stated, “This will provide a much-needed boost and help us compete at a global level, leading to increased domestic manufacturing and exports of smartphones.”

Shine on Lab Grown Diamonds

India's exports of polished lab-grown diamonds surged almost 20-fold from 2015-16 to 2021-22, although the country remains largely reliant on imported rough lab-grown diamonds. The government is eliminating customs duties on the seeds used to produce lab-grown diamonds in an effort to lessen this reliance. The awarding of a 242 crore grant to IIT Madras for lab-grown diamond research and development is another noteworthy event.

While presenting the budget, Nirmala Sitharaman commented on this “innovation-driven emerging sector”, emphasising its high employment potential as well.

Fishy Business

India is the country's second-largest exporter of shrimp, accounting for 67% of its $7.8 billion worth of seafood exports. In an effort to increase exports and boost the competitiveness of the shrimp industry, the government has lowered the import duty on fish meals from 15% to 5%. Since fish meals account for 40% of the cost of producing shrimp, this change will have a significant positive impact on the business.

Supporting Schemes

A number of the budget's announced initiatives have been implemented to support exports. For example, the Rebate of State and Central Taxes and Levies (RoSCTL) program and the Remission of Duties and Taxes on Export Products (RoDTEP) scheme have both seen increases in funding, the former by 10% and the latter by 12%. The goal of these programs is to reimburse exporters for federal, state, and municipal non-refundable taxes and levies they paid on inputs. These taxes were not reimbursed in the past.

A new and enhanced loan guarantee program for MSMEs (Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises) has also been announced by the government. With a budget of Rs 9,000 crore, it is set to debut on April 1st.

Additionally, a 23% increase in funds has been provided to the interest equalization scheme in response to popular demand from exporters, which will increase exports.

India's economy has become one of the most dynamic and rapidly expanding in the world; according to Morgan Stanley, the country is "on track to become the world's largest economy by 2027." The budget's proposed initiatives will improve India's standing as an export center and solidify its place in the world economy.

Conclusion

The 2023 budget reveals a strategic focus on strengthening India's position as a global export hub. While it may not contain specific export-boosting policies, the indirect measures put in place hold significant promise. The reduction in taxes on key electronic components is poised to enhance India's competitiveness in mobile phone manufacturing and exports. The move to eliminate customs duties on lab-grown diamond seeds and allocate a substantial grant for research underscores the government's commitment to innovation and job creation in this burgeoning sector. Lowering import duties on fish meals is a substantial step to boost India's shrimp exports by reducing production costs.

Parliament proceedings live | Deve Gowda reminds about pending women reservation Bill

Parliament proceedings live | Deve Gowda reminds about pending women reservation Bill

The Lok Sabha on Tuesday passed the Constitution 127th Amendment Bill, 2021 with unanimous support from the House, and with this, the Lower House is expected to be adjourned sine die today.

The Rajya Sabha witnessed extraordinary scenes on Tuesday, with Opposition members, majority of whom dressed in black or sporting black bands, clambered onto the table in front of the Chair, protesting against the government for trying to push through a diluted debate on the farmers’ issue instead of going for a repeal of the three controversial farm laws. The protests are expected to continue today in the Upper House.

Here are the latest updates:

Rajya Sabha | 4.10 pm

K. Raveendra Kumar (TDP) recalls the crucial role in implementing reservation for OBC community.

Centre is compelled to bring this Bill after the Supreme Court judgment, he says.

He says the latest census should include caste enumeration. Without these figures we can’t make proper policy for the country, he says.

Sardar Balwinder Singh Bhunder (SAD) speaks in Punjabi. Some members complain they are not able to get the translation. The Chair asks him to speak in Hindi or English.  He says he wholeheartedly welcomes the Bill. This is the first time the Centre has restored powers taken from states since 1947.

The farmers protesting today are poor and frustrated. This is injustice with Punjab. Now you have the chance to repeal the 3 farm laws, he adds.

Rajya Sabha | 4.00 pm

Deve Gowda reminds about pending women reservation Bill

Former Prime Minister Deve Gowda welcome the Bill. Reservation in Karnataka was started by Maharaja of Mysore in 1918.

In the last session, the government 10% reservation for EWS over and above the existing system. Will the cap now be 60% now, he seeks clarification.

He says during his tenure, Rajya Sabha approved women reservation. It should be brought to Lok Sabha.

Karnataka provides 23% reservation to OBCs. Within that Muslims are also included and there was no opposition. Let the government clarify if such a reservation is possible after this Bill is passed.

Rajya Sabha | 4.00 pm

Include Dalit Muslims and Dalit Christians in SC list: Abdul Wahab

Abdul Wahab (IUML) says he was surprised the government brought this Bill in this session. Dharmendra Pradhan talked about giving petrol pumps to OBCs. If you privatise all institutions, who will give them jobs, he asks.

He recalls anti-Mandal protest and an upper caste youth who self immolated himself in 1990.

He reads out the abysmally low proportion of OBC faculty in higher education. He says in most cases, they stamp NFS (none found suitable) to evade reservation.

He demands including Dalit Muslims and Dalit Christians in SC list.

Rajya Sabha | 3.35 pm

Modi ensured reservation does not get lapsed if vacancy is not filled in IIT teaching posts: Dhrmendra Pradhan

Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan lauds the House for a constructive debate. Some members questioned the language of the 102nd Constitutional Amendment Act. It was drafted by the Select Committee. The then Minister had clearly said there will be two lists — one for state, one for Centre.

This is not a knee jerk reaction of our government. Noone should doubt our intention. Some members of DMK raised IITs were not following reservation. It was a news for me. Then we found out the reservation lapses if the vacancy was not filled up. Mr. Modi ensured the reservation does not get lapsed, he says.

We implemented OBC reservation in Jawahar Vidyalayas.  He lists out how they ensured petrol pump licences were offered to many OBC people.

On why a cap on reservation, he says over 80% States have crossed the cap. He says many welfare schemes of NDA government uses the same census data.

He says his father was also part of the then Madras Presidency. It was because of their BC scholarship, his father could become a doctor and he himself could be part of Creamy Layer.

Rajya Sabha | 3.35 pm

Reservation is for the self-respect: Thambi Durai

M. Thambi Durai (AIADMK) says the Bill will go a long way in ensuring equitable distribution of resources. He recalls the contributions of Periyar, Anna, MGR and Jayalaithaa. Reservation is for the self-respect, he says.

He recalls how Justice Party brought reservation in Madras Presidency in 1921.

Rajya Sabha | 3.25 pm

Odisha has started its own caste enumeration: Amar Patnaik

Amar Patnaik (BJD) narrates how Odisha provided social justice despite the Indira Sawhney case. He says Odisha wanted to provide 27% reservation for SEBC, but are able to provide 11.2%.

The Indira Sawhney case highlights that there is no scientific data to support reservation. The government of Odisha has started collecting data by its own since March.

Rajya Sabha | 3.15 pm

A speech targetting Congress

Harnath Singh Yadav (BJP) hits out at Congress. He claims in 70 years, the grand old party has not done much for the OBCs.

He wonders why the Congress and UPA couldn’t grant constitutional status to the OBC Commission. His entire speech is targetted against Congress. He claims Sardar Patel was not allowed to become PM because he was the son of a farmer. Congress members object to it.

The Chair asks him to end his speech citing paucity of time.

Rajya Sabha | 3.10 pm

Meritorious people should not be included in reservation: Rajmani Patel

Rajmani Patel (Congress) says the several opposition parties have forced the government to bring this Bill by approaching the court.

Had the government’s intention was favouring OBCs, they would have not gone on the roads with Kamandal, he says.

Congress brought reservation for OBCs in Madhya Pradesh. The subsequent BJP governments didn’t take it up and the Supreme Court struck it down. Whereas Tamil Nadu fought well and ensured 69% reservation continues there, he says.

He seeks change in the roster within reservation with binary roster.  Even animals are counted, why can’t OBCs be counted, he asks pitching for caste cesnsus. He also seeks reservation in promotion. Meritorious people should not be included in reservation but should be alloted in general category, he says.

Rajya Sabha | 2.55 pm

You are shedding crocodile tears, Binoy Viswam tells government

Binoy Viswam (CPI-M) while supporting the Bill terms it election adjust Bill. B.R. Ambedkar must be weeping now. It was V.P. Singh that brought justice to his words. Who raised the slogan Mandal vs. Kamandal? Who raised Mandir to hide Mandal? he asks.

He quotes M.S. Golwalkar’s words against quota. Now that BJP, with thought of votes, is coming with a Bill on reservation. Please don’t cheat the country, he says.

You are supporting people who raped and murdered young Dalit girls and you are shedding crocodile tears for Dalits, and OBCS, he tells BJP.

Rajya Sabha | 2.45 pm

War of words between Sanjay Singh and Naqvi

G.K. Vasan (TMC-M) says the Bill will uplifit the OBCs socially and economically.

Sanjay Singh (AAP) supports the Bill. He says the government’s claims on OBC welfare are laughable. He shows Uttar Pradesh OBC report flagging the reserved teachers post not filled yet. He also speaks on Hathras rape and murder, the atrocities against Dalits in Uttar Pradesh and Gujarat.

Deputy Leader of the Mukhtar Abbas Naqvi seeks expunging the references of Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister. Jairam Ramesh supports Sanjay Singh. The Chair says it will be reviewed.

 Indira Sawhney case should be revisited: NCP

Vandana Chavan (NCP) also supports the Bill. Let us ask ourselves if the 102nd Constitutional Amendment passed the test of being unambigious. She wonders if the earlier amendment was only to seed the protests.

This Bill gives powers to the State, unfortunately without action, she says. The Indira Sawhney case should be revisited, she says.

She says the migrated people are also a deprived lot. They should also be considered for reservation.

Rajya Sabha | 2.30 pm

Narendra Jadhav, nominated member, also supports the Bill.  He says nearly 1/5th of the OBCs would have lost the benefits of reservation had the Bill was not brought in.

Sanjay Raut (Shiv Sena) says he supports the Bill and will talk about Pegasus in the evening.

He recalls the Maratha reservation agitation, and lauds the youngters for taking part in a peaceful protest. However, he says the issue is far from over, despite the passage of the Bill. Only the removal of the ceiling limit can provide a permanent solution, he says. 

Rajya Sabha | 2.25 pm

Change your mentality on caste enumeration: Manoj Jha

Manoj Jha (RJD) terms it a historical moment when the House is unitedly supporting a Bill. He remembers former member and writer Tulsiram, a Dalit who faced discrimination while he was in school.

Many members have asked several times requested to make public the caste census data. He recalls how a BJP member in Lok Sabha demanded it yesterday. “It is not a Freudian Slip, it came from her heart,” he says.

He pitches for proportional representation. Recalling BJP’s earlier statement that we are ready for categories but not for caste enumeration, Mr. Jha says this mentality should change.

Rajya Sabha | 2.20 pm

Time to make Lohia’s vision a reality: JD-U

He also insists on caste-based census.

Rajya Sabha | 2.10 pm

Act cannot be implemented well without taking a fresh caste census: Ramgopal Yadav

Ramgopal Yadav (SP) supports the Bill. The fruit of the Bill will truly be felt only when the 50% reservation ceiling is lifted, he says.

The Act cannot be implemented well without taking a fresh caste census, he says.

He counters Sushil Kumar Modi by listing the number of posts reserved for OBCs lying vacant in various higher education insitutions.

Rajya Sabha | 2.00 pm

When reservation creates inequalities within the reserved class itself, the state has to intervene: Kareem

Elamaaram Kareem (CPI-M) says it is a welcome step and the government is rectifying its earlier mistake. This cannot be taken as something to glorify the government, we all know its OBC policy.

The earlier amendment took away the rights of the State. The States could only send suggestions and the Union government can only add a caste to the OBC list.

After wasting time, the government has decided to bring this Bill. He also asks the government to review the EWS norms. Dalit Christians should also be included in reservation, he says.

When reservation creates inequalities within the reserved class itself, the state has to intervene, he says.

He also takes up the Pegasus snooping row. The unconstitutional attitude of the government led to this situation, he says.

Rajya Sabha | 1.55 pm

Govt. compelled to introduce Bill: Tiruchi Siva

Tiruchi Siva of the DMK says Tamil Nadu, with its 69% reservation, leads in empowerment and social justice.

Supporting the Bill, he says, the government was compelled to introduce the Bill as 671 OCBC committees were being affected. “This was done under compulsion. Federalism is not a suitable word for you (government). For you, all is unitary– one language, one religion, etc. But federalism is the core feature of the country.”

“Caste Census should be immediately conducted and the 50% cap on reservation should be done away with,” Mr. Siva says.

“We support the Bill. But our appeal to you, to bring changes in the interest of the people and not out of compulsion.”

Rajya Sabha | 1.40 pm

RJD happiest if States’ powers restored: Prasanna Acharya

Prasanna Acharya of the BJD speaks in Odiya.

This Bill will strengthen the federal structure of the country, he says. “RJD will be the happiest party if the powers taken from the States are restored,” he says.

He says the 50% cap on reservation should be reconsidered and also asks that Ceste Census take place.

Rajya Sabha | 1.30 pm

Will talk about legislative incompetence of govt.: O’ Brien

Derek O’ Brien of the TMC says to the Speaker, “Through you, Sir, I want to request the Prime Minsiter to come to the House, when an important discussion as this is taking place.”

He makes a remark on Pegasus, invoking a reference to “the Olympics god Poseidon”.

Making a refernce to Sushil Modi’s remarks on winning elections, he says, “we don’t talk, we do. We want to remind them of the elections in West Bengal.”

He says he supports the Bill, “but I also want to talk about the legislative incompetence of the government.” “We warned the government to go slow on the GST, although we supported it. In 10 months, 376 changes were made,” he says, as an illustration.

He cites the CAA and the farm laws as mistakes of the government. “The government did not listen and continued to make mistakes.”

He says the Trinamool has studied 98 Bills passed by the government, and “29 Bills are anti-federal”.

He asks why Caste Census is being done away with.

Mr. O’ Brien recalls that the government did away with reservation to Anglo-Indians based on a census that wrongfully said Anglo-Indian community comprises only 200 people.

Rajya Sabha | 1 pm

Sushil Kumar Modi is heckled in the House as he makes statements bashing the previous Congress govts.

Sushil Kumar Modi says a review petition was filed by the govt. withing 8 days of the judgment by the Supreme Court. “We have brought this Bill early, unlike Mr. Singhvi’s insinuation, as soon as our review petition was rejected.”

Quoting from the minority judgment Of Justices Bhushan and Najeeb, Mr. Modi clarifies the legislative intent of the Bill. Our intention was not to deprive the States, he says, adding the Supreme Court misinterpretated.

He says, “we supported the V.P. Singh decision of giving the OBC reservation. We gave constitutional recognition to Scheduled Tribes Commission. What did the Congress do?”

He makes statements bashing the previous Congress governments. He says Prime Minister Narendra Modi and his government has brought in favourable changes.

The Opposition members express disagreement to some statements. Chaotic scenes ensue in the House.

Mr. Kharge says false claims are being made by Mr. Modi.

Rajya Sabha | 12.35 pm

The wrong of 2018 being rectified, Bill long time coming: Singhvi

Abhishek Manu Singhvi of the Congress, says, “The path to hell is paved with good intentions. The Bill was a long time coming. But I also want to point out that the government is only correcting its big mistake of 2018.” Mr. Singhvi was making a reference to the 102nd amendment made in 2018.

The government committed a mistake and the government is congratulating itself for rectifying it now, he says.

An amendment was proposed in this House, many MPs also made some suggestions when it was sent to a select committee for recommendations, he says.

He says, “as feared, the Supreme Court faltered in the interpretation of the ambiguous language of the legislation.”

Speaking about the Maratha reservation issue, Mr. Singhvi says, the 50% cap on reservation cannot be followed as a strict rule. He gives the examples of States like Nagaland and Tamil Nadu which have more than 50% reservation. “The Supreme Court will not reconsider this. So, the government has to, and make the change.”

Mr. Singhvi brings up OBC seats lying vacant ingovernment employment.

He asks why Caste Census is being done away with. “We did it in 2011. Why not do it now in 2021?”

Suggesting an amendment to the Bill, Mr. Singhvi says, “This amendment is clarificatory. But unless it is applied restrospectively, no State list between 2018 and 2021 will be valid.”

Rajya Sabha | 12.30 pm

Allow discussion for more than three hours: Kharge

Manoj Jha asks the Speaker to allot sufficient time even for the smaller parties, who have equal stakes, to speak about the “important amendments” suggested in the Bill.

Leader of Opposition Mallikarjun Kharge tells the Speaker, he has the power to change the decision taken by the Business Advisory Committee. “No one is going to oppose this Bill…Even if the discussion time is increased by two or three hours, the country or the House will not be at a disadvantage.”

Minister Piyush Goyal suggests that the House sit until all the day’s business is completed, even beyond 6 p.m. “If we need to increase the discussion to beyond three hours, then we need to be on agreement to this.”

Member Anand Sharma says, “It is not acceptable that the extension is conditional.”

Mr. Goyal responds and restates that the day’s business will have to be completed, and “it is only fair that we agree to sit beyond 6 p.m. for it.”

There is chaos in the House.

Mr. Harivansh says the discussion will take place for four hours.

Mr. Naidu got emotional and said he was distressed to see the sacredness of the House being destroyed over a difference of opinion. “I am distressed as the way this sacredness was destroyed yesterday when some members sat on the table some others climbed on the tables of the house, perhaps to be more visible, was an act of sacrilege. I have no words to condemn the act as I spent a sleepless night,”

On a sunny day in early 2017, Sundar Pichai, Alphabet Inc.’s chief executive officer, returned to his alma mater, the Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur, in West Bengal, to speak before 3,500 students. Welcomed as the “rock star” leader of the “world’s most innovative company,” he reminisced about skipping classes and meeting his college girlfriend—now his wife. He also pitched Google to the soon-to-be-graduates in attendance. How many wanted to work there, the interviewer asked. Hundreds of hands went up. “Wow, maybe we should open a campus in Kharagpur,” Pichai joked.

As far as feeder schools go, it doesn’t get much better for Google than the network of 23 ultracompetitive, government-funded IITs. Every year hundreds of their graduates join the world’s biggest tech companies. In 2003, when the school system celebrated its 50th anniversary, Bill Gates delivered a keynote speech praising grads who’d come to work at Microsoft Corp. over the years, noting that the company had, in turn, invested more money in the IITs than in any other institution outside the U.S. and the U.K.

For all the IITs’ proficiency at training and placing students, though, the coders, programmers, product developers, and engineers fanning out to global tech bring with them the troubled legacy of India’s caste system. On campus, students are surrounded by—and in some cases participate in—a culture of discrimination, bullying, and segregation that targets fellow pupils from India’s Scheduled Castes, also known as Dalits. The IITs officially discourage such harassment, but the prejudice against these students remains quite open.

…

Dalit IIT graduates who’ve managed to land jobs in the U.S. say that such attitudes can be found there, too. Last year a Dalit graduate of IIT Bombay filed suit in the U.S. against Cisco Systems Inc. and two of his fellow alums, saying he’d experienced caste-based discrimination at their hands while the three of them were employed at the company. The accompanying publicity prompted a wave of complaints about caste discrimination in American tech—allegations that seemed to blindside the industry.

…

Despite this, coded and overt forms of discrimination against Dalits persist, with the education system serving as a primary vector. At secondary school in Rajasthan, Mahesh Kumar recalls, he and his father swept the classrooms as a condition of Kumar’s scholarship; they were expected not to make contact with the teachers’ belongings so as not to taint them. When Kumar gained admission to IIT (BHU) Varanasi in 2013, he tried to obscure his caste status by dropping his last name, but it didn’t help. At the beginning of an IIT school year, senior students often orchestrate a hazing ritual known as kholna, calling on first-year students to give their name, their hometown, and the rank they achieved on the entrance exam. If a surname isn’t a giveaway, an unusual rank on the entrance exam will be.

…

Dalits in the IIT system often have a rougher path to employment. After his first few semesters in Varanasi, Kumar fell into a deep depression and took time off from school. Overwhelmed by debt, he considered bidding for a sewer-cleaning contract that paid 4,000 rupees ($55) a month. The social hierarchy that considers Dalits “impure” consigns them to poorly paid, “unclean” jobs such as scavenging, cleaning sewers, and disposing of dead animals. Kumar even considered selling a kidney.

Then came a stroke of good fortune. A local paper reported that an IIT student was considering sewer cleaning and organ donation, prompting an outpouring of donations. Kumar returned to Varanasi and graduated in 2019. He now works as an assistant manager with a government-owned mining company in the eastern city of Durgapur.

There’s no reliable data on IIT student placement rates or professional salaries, but anecdotal evidence suggests the grind is worth it for many. In December, when students traditionally begin receiving job offers, news outlets relay how quickly they’re coming in, and schools boast of how many graduates will make 10 million rupees or more.

In a 2017 paper, French researchers Odile Henry and Mathieu Ferry found that not all IIT graduates are greeted by such an enthusiastic job market. Lower-caste students were barely half as likely to get jobs as general-pool students with similar majors and academic performance; they were also paid less. The researchers attributed the difference primarily to a divide between Dalit and non-Dalit students in soft skills and social capital. In the lucrative private sector, recruiters look beyond grades for candidates who demonstrate curiosity, leadership, poise, or a competitive spirit—qualities that might show up in, say, extracurricular activities, a glowing recommendation from a teacher, or simply a student’s confidence in an interview.

…

Last year, allegations of caste bias got a public airing some 8,300 miles away from the IIT campuses. On behalf of the Indian Cisco Systems employee who alleged he’d been discriminated against based on his caste, California’s Department of Fair Employment and Housing brought a suit in San Jose against the company and two other Indian employees. All three were graduates of IIT Bombay.

American law protects workers from disparate treatment based on a handful of characteristics, including race, sex, religion, and disability status. This was the first time, though, that anyone had argued those protections should extend to Dalits. The complaint said that the unnamed employee had faced discrimination by two upper-caste managers since 2015 and that he’d reported one to human resources for outing him as a Dalit and informing colleagues he’d enrolled in the IIT through affirmative action. The employee said the discrimination had continued under the second manager.

Cisco denied the charges. “We have zero tolerance for discrimination and take all complaints of unfair treatment very seriously,” a spokesperson says. “In this case, we thoroughly and fully investigated the employee’s concerns and found that he was treated fairly, highly compensated, and afforded opportunities to work on coveted projects.” In its response to the suit, Cisco made an additional argument: Because caste isn’t a protected category under U.S. civil rights laws, the allegations are immaterial and should be stricken. The court recently denied Cisco’s petition to move the case to arbitration, and the company has filed an appeal.

Advocacy groups in the U.S. have weighed in on both sides. The Hindu American Foundation filed a declaration in support of Cisco, saying that though it vehemently opposes “all forms of prejudice and discrimination,” the state’s case “blatantly violates the rights of Hindu Americans.” Meanwhile, the Ambedkar International Center, a Dalit advocacy group, filed a brief in support of the state, encouraging the court to acknowledge caste discrimination and set a precedent prohibiting it. “American civil rights law has little experience with the Indian caste system, but it is very familiar with the idea of caste: the notion that some people are born to low stations in life in which they are forced to remain,” the motion reads.

The case inspired a flood of tech workers to tell their own stories. A U.S.-based Dalit advocacy group, Equality Labs, told the Washington Post in October that more than 250 tech workers had come forward in the wake of the Cisco suit to report incidents of caste-based harassment. Thirty Dalit engineers, all women, also shared a joint statement with the Post that said they’d experienced caste bias in the U.S. tech sector.

…

It would be naive for U.S. companies to assume that Indian hires leave their prejudices on the subcontinent, says Sarit K. Das, a professor of mechanical engineering at IIT Madras who until February was director of IIT Ropar. “Graduates carry this to Amazon or Google or wherever, and the feeling toward the other person is that you didn’t make it like me, you are inferior,” he says.

Ram Kumar, a Dalit alum of IIT Delhi, has worked in the tech industry for more than two decades, with stints at Cisco, Dell, and other companies. When he arrived in Silicon Valley in the early 2000s, he found “another mini-India arranged by clusters of Indian hierarchy,” he says. Whereas dominant-caste Indians might see expat communities as sources of professional networking and support, Kumar avoids them. “People will try to segregate you once they find out your caste,” he says. As a matter of self-preservation, “I’ve avoided good opportunities when I see that the CEO or CTO is Indian.”

Budget 2019: Edtech Startups Demand GST Be Cut From 18% To 5%

Ever since Independence, education, employment, and agriculture have been the sectors posing the maximum challenges for all of India, irrespective of which government has been in power. However, things have become worse in the last few years, especially as far as education is concerned. Neither the Modi government’s budget allocation nor its policy initiatives have tried to address the problems of the ailing education sector in the country.

Of course, Skill India was a grand initiative that aimed to provide job-oriented educational training in the country. However, it miserably failed to achieve its goal. SS Mantha, former chairman of the All India Council for Technical Education( AICTE), and Ashok Thakur, former education secretary, Ministry of Human Resource Development, wrote in a column in The Indian Express:

Remember the fanfare and optimism over the launch of Skill India in July 2015, and the roadmap for skilling 400 Mn people by 2022 (World Youth Skills day)? Today, Skill India looks like a patient, who, after having their treatment diagnosed as successful, has relapsed into a condition worse than before and is on their last leg.

Not only education-related initiatives, but the government of the day has also failed to reduce the gap between its Budget allocation and spending.

According to the Economic Survey 2018, in 2012-13, education expenditure was 3.1% of the GDP. It fell to 2.8% in 2014-15 and registered a further drop to 2.4% in 2015-16. In 2016-2017, it was 2.6%, not exactly a surge to write home about.

Anil Nagar, founder and CEO of edtech startup Adda247, said, “In 2018, Arun Jaitley had announced a 10% hike in the Budget as compared to the previous year. However, the allocations for education saw a marginal increase of 3.84%, from approximately INR 81,869 Cr ($11.5 Bn) to INR 85,010 Cr ($11.95 Bn). In fact, the government’s spending on education has declined sharply over the last two decades. While the budget expenditure on education in other growing economics is rising, the scenario is quite the opposite in India.”

Interestingly, of around 75% of the educational spending that states do themselves, it’s the northeastern states like Manipur, Meghalaya, Assam and Bihar which lead educational spending (in terms of their budget percentage) among all the states.

With over 39,000 startups in the country, India ranks third in global tech innovation leadership, behind only the US and China. Thus, at a time when Indian startups are leading the technology race across the world, there appears to be a huge dearth of minds to support the continuation and momentum of the innovation.

And, therefore, to keep up the innovation and the momentum of the Indian startup ecosystem, edtech startups are demanding that the finance minister take a different approach to education.

Besides the primary education under Sarva Siksha Abhiyan, edtech startups want the government to pay equal attention to the digital education and reskilling India to fulfil the employability demand.

Here are the other demands edtech startups have from Union Budget 2019.

Reskill India To Improve Employability

There is a huge gap in the courses being taught at Indian universities and institutes and job requirements on the ground.

An IIT Kanpur professor told Inc42, “Blockchain and data science are the most sought skills in jobs today. However, over 99% of the Indian universities and conventional institutes don’t have blockchain in their curriculum. Even if some do, it is limited to the elementary education which leads students nowhere. Similar is the case with data science. Although there is increased awareness, the educational curriculum in our universities at large does not fulfil the job demands.”

Clearly, there is a pressing need to help the Indian youth unlearn and re-skill, in accordance with job demands. Ishan Gupta, MD of edtech startup Udacity India, seconded this view. Citing E&Y, according to which, a very large proportion of the Indian workforce —  over 40% — will need re-skilling in the next few years by 2022, Gupta said reskilling has become a necessity for people to hold gainful employment in the face of the automation revolution.

“We see an important opportunity here — India is poised with promising demographics at a time of great change in the economy and job market. The best part is that the youth is already realising the need to prepare for the jobs of tomorrow. I hope the Budget focuses on creating a conducive environment for constant upskilling and reskilling,” he said.

Kamal Dutta, MD of another edtech startup Skillsoft India feels that the Budget 2019 should keep up the digital revolution that took off in 2018. He said, “India will find itself in a position to fulfil existing tech-centric job roles such as those in data-engineering, information security, cybersecurity, Blockchain and more. As more professionals delve into upskilling with respect to new technologies, corporate learning will definitely see a significant uptick. We believe that Budget 2019 will be conducive to setting up corporate learning systems within all workplaces and promote nation-wide skill enhancement among employees.”

Reduce GST Rate 

Let’s accept the fact that conventional educational infrastructure — meaning mainstream classroom education — is not alone capable of meeting today’s changing requirements. There is an increasing number of students who want to learn via e-learning, video tutorials, and e-gaming.

While certified conventional education has been kept out of the ambit of GST, e-books are levied a 5% GST. “Moreover, 18% GST is levied on video tutorials and live courses, putting India’s edtech industry in a challenging situation. The government should definitely focus on promoting the e-learning/digital learning space (in Budget 2019),” said Nagar.

Almost all edtech startups today — from leading edtech companies like BYJU’s and Embibe to other smaller ones — deal with either ebooks or video tutorials or both.

He added that while the government has launched many digital learning initiatives like Swayam, Diksha, etc, there still exists a gap due to factors such as lack of ownership and talent shortage. Therefore, it’s necessary that the government involves edtech entrepreneurs in the policy-making process, providing them with the support and guidance to flourish, opined Nagar.

Promote PPP In Digital Education Infrastructure

In a country with over a billion minds, one solution simply can’t be a solution for all. In such a scenario, the right to access to education should not be implemented as access to literacy, but it must encompass one’s access to every medium of education such as online and offline/classroom for everyone.

Rural India is still mostly unaware of the power that digital education can bring into their lives. Forget students, even teachers are largely unaware of the medium.  Beas Dev Ralhan, CEO and founder of edtech startup NextEducation said, “For the digital education, it is also important to ensure that internet access provided to rural areas is functional so that students from those parts can use it for effective self-learning.”

Explaining that India is expected to have 735 Mn internet users by 2021, Rohit Sethi, Director, ESS Global-Study Abroad Consultant, said this poses a significant opportunity for edtech to penetrate the lives of millions of students both in urban and rural areas. “But there is a need to reduce the cost of education further,” he said.

In this Budget, he expects collaboration opportunities between public and private sector institutions in India through the introduction of policies for expansion of infrastructure, funds availability, private investments, easily accessible quality education. “This will bring thousands of aspirant students from abroad to Indian institutes,” he added.

Hard Fact: Our Govts Have Failed Our Education System

Long ago, in 1966, the Kothari Education Commission had recommended allocation of 6% of the GDP on education. However, this was never implemented. Instead, spending on education, as mentioned earlier, kept decreasing over the last many years.

The first Prime Minister of India, Jawahar Lal Nehru, who is also said to be the father of modern Indian education — he laid the foundations of leading institutes such as the IITs, IIMs, AIIMS-Delhi, NIDs, and more — once said, “Only through right education can a better order of society be built up.”

The governments, after Nehru’s era, tried to ride on the popularity of IIT Bombay, IIM Ahmedabad and AIIMS by opening more IITs and AIIMS.

However, most of the subsequent governments misread the need for educational reforms and the priorities of their times. And, it is not the building / premise that made the IITs and IIMs great; but, the teachers from across the world who led the research works which conjugated into the best of learning ecosystem.

In the top eight IITs, over 2,200 sanctioned posts of faculty members are vacant for several years in a row. IIT Kharagpur has 46% posts vacant, IIT Roorkee – 42%, IIT Kanpur-37%, IIT Delhi-29%, IIT Madras – 28%, IIT Bombay – 27% and IIT Guwahati has 25% posts vacant, according to the HRD ministry data.

According to Ralhan, there is a dearth of 11 lakhs adequately qualified teachers in the K–12 segments. Even though the government is trying to tackle the situation with initiatives such as Teacher Professional Development courses on the digital platform Diksha, this issue also needs prioritizing in the upcoming budget.

The Modi government, which launched the Skill India and Digital India programmes, definitely understood the need of the hour. However, according to Sharada Prasad Committee report, the National Skill Development Council (NSDC), through its partners, only managed to skill around 600,000 youth till September 1, 2017, and could place only 72,858 trained youth, exhibiting a placement rate of around 12%. Under PMKYV 1, the placement rate stood at 18%.

The Skill India aim is to train 400 Mn people by 2022.

Considering that Skill India is nowhere near its target and with the rate of unemployment being the highest in the last 20 years, much more needs to be done as far as the digital education is concerned.

At a time when digital education needs to be incentivised, imposing 18% GST is clearly not a good idea to kickstart an edtech revolution.

Rohit Manglik, CEO, EduGorilla summed it up, “The upcoming Interim Budget needs to address some important components of the education sector. Undoubtedly, lowering the GST rates from an existing 18% to the expected 5% will make education affordable to students.”

The Budget also needs to take initiatives such as allocating a bigger spend for education and ensuring proper teacher training programmes along with higher pay and administrative incentives. Incentives need to be provided to encourage research in all disciplines and to augment the technical capacity of central educational institutions like the NCERT, NUEPA, IGNOU, and many more. “Further, a comprehensive scheme on the lines of Ayushman Bharat can be a great start to improve the quality of education,” said Manglik.

He is right. India needs a grand plan with almost 10% of the GDP to be allocated for education only, as this would enable the government to improve things on all fronts — digital education, the Skill India programme — as well as provide tax exemptions and incentives for edtech startups. The grand plan for education should envision building an alternate educational infrastructure, the digital way.
