Below the Post Budget Reaction on Education Sector by Mr. Nirvaan Birla, Managing Director of Birla Open Minds Education Pvt Ltd and Birla Brainiacs
“The Union Budget 2025 presents a forward-looking vision for the education sector, aligning with India’s goal of becoming a knowledge-driven economy. The emphasis on skilling through National Centres of Excellence, the PM Research Fellowship Scheme, and AI-driven education hubs is a commendable step towards strengthening India's human capital and fostering technological innovation. The expansion of IITs, medical institutions, and Atal Tinkering Labs further reinforces the government’s commitment to building a future-ready workforce. The Bharat Net project’s broadband expansion in schools is a welcome move to bridge the digital divide, but its success will depend on effective accessibility and implementation.
However, the real challenge lies in execution. Streamlining PPP models for upskilling, simplifying regulatory frameworks for edtech, and ensuring efficient subsidy distribution will be crucial for achieving meaningful impact. Additionally, greater emphasis on facilitating ease of doing business for private players, including support for trade fairs and global collaborations, would have further strengthened the sector.
As we align with the vision of Viksit Bharat, ensuring that these ambitious initiatives translate into tangible outcomes will be key to empowering students, educators, and institutions. This budget sets a strong foundation, and with strategic execution, it can drive meaningful transformation in India’s education landscape.”
