Below the Pre-Budget Quote on Education by Kavita Kerawalla, Vice Chairperson of VIBGYOR Group of Schools

"The allocation of Rs.1.48 lakh crore in the last Budget for education, employment, and skilling was a commendable step in strengthening India’s position as a global talent hub. As we approach the next Union Budget, we are hopeful that a significant share will go towards education, particularly for teacher training. Investing in our educators is key to building a skilled and inclusive workforce ready to tackle future challenges.Such investments will boost both foundational and higher education, giving our youth the skills they need to excel in a competitive job market. These steps will also ensure quality education reaches every corner of the country, helping bridge the digital divide and bringing the benefits of technology to all students. We believe the upcoming Budget should focus on building strong digital infrastructure to support blended learning, narrow the rural-urban gap, and scale technology-driven education programs. This will help us thrive in the digital era, preparing students for a tech-focused world.These initiatives won’t just empower our youth - they will also drive India’s journey to becoming a developed nation by 2047. We hope to see a focus on modernising education to match industry needs while encouraging the growth of the EdTech sector. Such moves will greatly benefit private institutions like ours, helping us strengthen tech infrastructure, run advanced teacher training, and adopt sustainability measures. We’re optimistic about continued government support in these areas to help us contribute more effectively to India’s education system."
