Rajan, who was here to preside over the convocation function of Punjab Technical University (PTU), where he has served as the vice-chancellor in the past, said Punjab’s growth depends on the rate at which its technical education sector grows. He also advocated funds for poor students to check drop-outs.
On the impact of the ongoing recession on the Indian economy, he said the impact can be reduced to a great extent by implementing employment-enabling policies, such as NREGA and Pradhan Mantri Grameen Sarak Yojna.
