“Union Budget 2025: Advancing Innovation, Research, and Accessibility in Education” – Dr. K. S. Nagabhushana, Director – Research, Prayoga Institute of Education Research

“It is commendable to see the Union Budget paving the way for greater accessibility to education, fostering innovation, and preparing students to meet global challenges through the introduction of 50,000 Atal Tinkering Labs. These labs will cultivate a spirit of curiosity, creativity, and innovation, fostering scientific temper in young minds. The government’s focus on providing 10,000 fellowships under the PM Research Fellowship Scheme over the next five years, targeting technological research in IITs and IISc, will act as a catalyst in promoting a scientific mindset among the youth and encourage cutting-edge research while inspiring the next generation of innovators and problem-solvers. The establishment of Centers of Excellence in AI will equip the youth with the skills of innovation and creativity needed to tackle real-world challenges and revolutionize the education sector. The introduction of the Bharatiya Bhasha Pustak Scheme for digital Indian language books will foster better learning in students’ native languages. Increased infrastructure allocation to medical education and IITs will further fuel the growth of STEM education. However, further steps toward providing support for teacher training programs and resource development, vital for transforming schools into centers of experiential learning, could have been taken to further revolutionize Indian education. All in all, the proposed budget promises progress, driving advancements in education and ensuring India maintains its strong global standing.”
