Five new Indian Institutes of Technology, five new Indian Institutes of Management, four new All India Institutes of Medical Sciences, 12 more government medical colleges and new agriculture and horticulture universities -the education and skills development sector reaped rich dividends from the Modi government's focus on these areas as finance minister Arun Jaitley laid out a series of proposals in his maiden budget.
Jaitley has set aside Rs.500 crore for setting up four AIIMS-style institutions in Andhra Pradesh, West Bengal, Vidarbha in Maharashtra and UP.
