Below are Perspective on FM Relief Measures Announcement by Kiran Rane, Head Academics, ITM IHS

Perspective by Kiran Rane:

“Of the Rs1.1 lakh crore guarantee schemes announced for the covid affected sectors, Rs 0.5 lakh crore has been assigned towards the health care sector at the capped interest rate. These relief measures towards the upliftment of the health sector in the under-deserved areas are a major welcome move. It will enable the local corporations or panchayats to utilise the aid well and create a robust health infrastructure.

What is also important is to cultivate healthcare staff and experts from the local region; which is possible if an equal amount of consideration is given to the development of an educational infrastructure too. This structural reform will also add to the contribution to the sector at large.

Allocation of funds towards up-skilling of the youth is imperative, especially in the healthcare sector as learning from the pandemic. Doing this will enable us to create a digital healthcare system and reduce our dependency on other countries. Overall, this move has come at a time when it's most needed.”
