Makkal Needhi Maiam founder Kamal Haasan on Thursday welcomed the new education policy’s proposal that 6% of GDP would be spent on education.
In a tweet, however, he pointed out that immediate focus and reforms needed are in the healthcare sector now, which gets only 1% of GDP on an average.
This share has to be increased to 7-8% if we want to grow as a healthy nation , Mr. Haasan said.
