6 Takeaways from Jaitley's Budget for Education

3. Sarva Shiksha Abhiyan and primary education - 62 new Navodaya Vidyalayas

"After universalisation of primary education throughout the country, we want to take the next big step forward by focusing on the quality of education. An increasing share of allocation under Sarva Shiksha Abhiyan will be allocated for this. Further, 62 new Navodaya Vidyalayas will be opened in the remaining uncovered districts over the next two years."

However the budget proposed could not do anything on reducing policy initiatives such as the Right To Education, Rashtriya Madhyamik Shiksha Abhiyan (RMSA) and Rashitriya Uchchatar Shiksha Abhiyan (RUSA).
