“We welcome the Finance Minister’s progressive budget, which demonstrates a strong commitment to education, employment, and skilling with an allocation of ₹1.48 lakh crore.

This significant investment highlights the government’s dedication to nurturing talent and fostering growth. The introduction of financial support for higher education will help make higher education more accessible. Furthermore, the emphasis on developing digital public infrastructure applications will drive productivity and innovation, benefiting various sectors such as education and health.

We call for clear guidelines on attention towards creative avenues to fund and promote a mandated Industry-Academia Partnership for mutual benefit. This will help boost the initiative to skill one crore youth through internships with top companies and the Prime Minister’s Internship program to provide valuable practical experience and skill development.

Overall, this budget aligns with our vision of ‘Viksit Bharat,’ paving the way for a robust and inclusive development trajectory.”
