“In the upcoming Union Budget 2024-25, we expect to see a focus on student empowerment and the growth of startups. We wish impetus may be given to digital infrastructure in the institutions of learning so every deserving student has access to affordable technology and digital literacy tools. There has to be in-built occupation-based training as part of HEIs, so the academic curriculum is oriented towards the requirements of the industries. It will further equip students with the requisite skills dynamic in nature vis-à-vis the changing job market.
The incentive measures of the budget should be favorable for startups and promote innovation. The funding toward research and development in cutting-edge technologies such as AI, Robotics, and the Internet of Things will further increase the pace of innovation and economic growth. Turning to the next, skill development programs and industry-academic collaborations shall connect the missing link between education and employability, hereby making graduates job-ready.
We also look forward to policies that will encourage domestic production, support MSMEs, and reduce the digital divide—thereby providing an enabling business environment. If these are focused on in this budget, it would make for better futures of students and startups and drive India’s progress in the global economy.”
