Panel Discussion on “Karnataka State Budget 2016-17”
Panel Discussion on “Karnataka State Budget 2016-17” was organized by the Department of Business Administration. Prof. Premalatha Pai, HOD – Economics, SVS College, Bantwal, Mr. Badruddin Azman, an Industrialist, Belthangady & Mr. Santhosh Prabhu, Practicing Lawyer, Udupi were the resource persons for the programme.
Dr. Vishal Samartha, Director, Department of Business Administration welcomed the gathering and gave a glimpse of our institution & the department. Mr. Raghavendra Prabhu, Assistant Professor, Department of Business Administration, shared the relevance of ‘State Budget session’ to the students as they would step into the corporate field very soon and would be beneficial to them from the point of Tax, Savings, Loan and also to support their parents with the knowledge they have on the budget.
Prof. Premalatha Pai in her session on ‘Impact of Budget on Agriculture & Industry’ mentioned that Union Budget holds greater value than State Budget. She appreciated our Chief Minister, that this time; he has totally delinked himself from AHINDA schemes but focused on other sectors which need utmost attention. She valued the intentions of the budget to make all the Bhagya schemes a reality now which shall turn out to be Sowbhagya’s for the state, however every action plan is effective only when it is time-bound. She was of the opinion that Agriculture has not been given as much importance as it needs to be given. Industry sector has been given still lesser importance and budget allocation. Priority was given to Education, Water resources and Rural Development. She concluded her session by stating that focus should have been on the challenges related to Power shortage, maintenance of Water Canals, Agriculture and Industry. However the intention of the budget looked like ‘Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas’ – Too many schemes for development, but less budget has been allocated for each scheme.
Mr. Badruddin Azman in his session on ‘Impact of Budget on Education’ appreciated the management for organizing an event of such nature since in few months, students would be attending interviews and knowledge of the candidates shall be tested on the awareness they have about issues related to the state and the nation. He acclaimed the encouragement given to increase the number of hostels for students of backward class and Morarji Desai Schools. IT in school concept has been motivated profoundly. He appreciated the stimulation given to government schools related to ‘Lab in Box’ concept wherein students shall have major exposure to science related matters. He brought into light the award announced for the toppers - 500 students of SSLC and PUC of Rs. 10,000 and Rs. 20,000 respectively. He concluded the session by mentioning of the support given to Incubation Centers in Management & Technical Institutes.
Mr. Santhosh Prabhu in his session on ‘Tax proposals in Budget’ mentioned that there is no much scope for taxes in state government as the tax powers are vested with the union government. Value Added Tax is the major source of revenue which contributes to 61% and then the State Excise Duty which is increased on Alcohol. He stressed on the initiative taken by the state of honoring the honest payers of Value Added Tax. He concluded the session by stating that a person cannot avoid two things – Tax and Death. Death is certain and Tax cannot be avoided.
The forum was then open for Question & Answer session which was an interactive session that allowed enthusiastic students to clear their doubts and share their views on the State Budget 2016
