Interaction with students through social media creates a tremendous positive pressure on the government.
If a school lacks in providing basic facility, people tweet about it. So, now there is a platform through which the issues can be addressed in a more responsive manner, said Jayant Sinha, Minister of Civil Aviation, at the India Economic Summit 2017, which began here on Wednesday.
On the key achievements of the NDA government in the past three years, Sinha said the economy had been formalised through the Goods and Services Tax and demonetisation.
Around 20-40 per cent of the economy that was in the informal sector, has been brought into the mainstream, he said, adding that focus was now on making economy cost-competitive.
Talking about the education system at a seminar, Smriti Irani, the Minister of Textiles and Information and Broadcasting, said for the first time, “we are discussing on how to make our education system better” , adding that “now, if a person has a view on policy decision that the government is working on then their views can be taken into consideration. Interaction is something which the government is focusing on and it’s not restricted to education but to other segments also.”
Hari S Bhartia, Chairperson and co-founder of Jubilant Bhartia Group, highlighted the challenge of creating more jobs for the large numbers of youngsters who were coming to cities seeking better opportunities.
