In an interview with ET, the Infosys cofounder hailed the Narendra Modi government for drafting the National Education Policy (NEP), and said tech firms should use the current downturn to innovate and expand their market share to emerge winners when the market is up.
One possible way of accelerating National Education Policy s outcome is to invite 10,000 retired highly accomplished teachers from the developed world and from India in STEM areas to create 2,500 Train the Teacher colleges in the country s 28 states and eight union territories, Murthy said.
At least eight recruitment firms involved with BharatPe, which allegedly siphoned off funds from the fintech unicorn, have been found linked to family members of cofounder and former chief executive Ashneer Grover, a probe by the Economic Offences Wing (EOW) of the Delhi Police has found.
Narayana Murthy, founder of Infosys, had recently triggered a storm after suggesting Indian youngsters should work 70 hours a week. Now, the software icon has suggested that India spend USD one billion on training school teachers. "We must also provide better facilities to our researchers. We must honour them," he added. , India News, Times Now
