Focus on education, skilling, employment

DIGITAL LEARNING, INDUSTRY-ALIGNED SKILLING

- 

AS WE APPROACH the Union Budget FY27 presentation, the education and skill development sectors are looking at a significant boost.

This comes at a critical time of transformation led by the implementation of the National Education Policy (NEP). Recently, the Prime Minister emphasised that the knowledge, skills, and capabilities of the Indian population are key to driving the transition to 'Viksit Bharat by 2047'. Hence, the direction is clear - growth comes from education and skilling.

The Budget is expected to build on large allocations along three tenets: digital-enabled learning, industry-aligned skilling, and research-led innovation.
