Quote from Mr. Ashish Saraf, VP and Country Director, Thales in India for your kind reference.
“We applaud the government’s special emphasis on skilling, research and innovation, complementing the ‘Viksit Bharat 2047’ vision, in the Union Budget 2024-25. The Budget’s commitment to skilling 20 lakh youth over the next five years through centrally sponsored schemes and the provision of skilling loans will pave the way for cultivating a strong and future-ready workforce. These measures will create pathways for youth to gain essential skills, enhancing employability. We also welcome the focus towards inclusive and holistic growth through a number of other announcements including employment-linked skilling schemes, internship opportunities to students in 500 top companies as well as the allocation of over ₹3 lakh crore to advance women’s roles.
Another key aspect of the budget is the establishment of the Powering Innovation, R&D Anusandhan National Research Fund. This will indeed provide a boost to private sector-driven research and innovation leading to development of cutting-edge technologies in the country. We commend these visionary steps and are committed to supporting India in nurturing a highly skilled workforce and deep-tech innovations by leveraging our local and global expertise and experience.”
