Below the Budget reactions on the Education announcements by Mr. Anish Srikrishna, CEO, TimesPro

The government has laid the groundwork to usher in next-generation reforms, steering the growth of India by providing a significant boost to infrastructure development and bridging the accessibility gap to fulfil the aspirations of its citizens. The commitment to education and skill development through successful initiatives like Skill India has offered training, skilling, and reskilling to millions, enabling them to acquire cutting-edge skills and secure employment opportunities. This will undoubtedly contribute to our collective economic resilience and competitiveness on the global stage. The government's emphasis on technology, including the provision of 50-year interest-free loans, underscores its dedication to investing in Deep Tech, requiring substantial investment and highly skilled human capital. Enhancing the Girl Enrolment Ratio will empower females to enter aspirational fields and make significant contributions to various emerging sectors. Although the EdTech sector anticipated some tax incentives that could have benefited our learners, we remain highly optimistic about the upcoming full budget, expected to announce next-generation reforms, will address these concerns. We look forward to actively participating in providing excellence in education, transforming the Indian ecosystem, and contributing to holistic national development.
