Union Budget 2025

The Union Budget 2025 focuses on revolutionizing India's education sector by allocating funds for scholarships, AI-based learning platforms, vocational training, and comprehensive teacher development programs.


With an allocation of ₹128,650 crore for education, the Union Budget 2025 introduces transformative reforms aimed at empowering young learners, fostering educational innovation, and supporting India's vision of becoming a 'Viksit Bharat' (Developed India).


Union Budget 2025: Key Educational Initiatives for Students After 12th

As the 12th board exams approach, students face immense pressure to quickly memorize the entire syllabus. Alongside this academic deadline, another race is unfolding in their minds: the decision of choosing the best course after 12th for further studies. This choice is not only about aligning with their interests but also about gaining a competitive edge in their future careers. Given the challenges, the recently announced financial budget for 2025 by Union Minister for Finance and Corporate Affairs, Smt. Nirmala Sitharaman, offers a glimmer of hope. The new provisions and initiatives in the budget could open up better opportunities for these students, potentially easing their academic and professional journeys.


The Union Budget 2025 introduces a new policy framework, considering Gareeb, Yuva, Annadata, and Naari (GYAN) as its pillars. The overarching goal is to achieve "Viksit Bharat" by ensuring quality education for all. With an education budget allocation of ₹1,28,650 crore, the Indian government aims for a 6% year-on-year budget increase, signaling its commitment to the sector. This marks a notable rise from previous years when union budgets typically saw an increase of 4-4.5%.
