Below Quote on Union Budget 2026 By Er. Koneru Satyanarayana, Chancellor, KL Deemed to be University

"The Union Budget 2026 presents a decisive vision for transforming education into a powerful engine of employability, innovation, and inclusive growth. Building on an education allocation of over ?1.28 lakh crore, the Budget focuses on preparing India’s learners for a rapidly evolving, technology-driven economy. Initiatives such as content creation and AVGC labs in 15,000 schools and 500 colleges, new institutes in design, pharmaceuticals, and mental health, and the establishment of girls’ hostels across every district strengthen access, creativity, and equity. Crucially, the proposed high-powered Education-to-Employment Standing Committee marks a strategic shift toward aligning curriculum with industry needs in the services sector while evaluating the impact of emerging technologies like AI. Together, these measures reaffirm a national commitment to ensuring that education does not end with degrees, but seamlessly translates into skills, jobs, and sustainable economic progress for India’s youth.”
