The Union Budget 2026-27 always carries a dual expectation addressing immediate national priorities while laying the foundation for long-term capacity building. From the standpoint of higher education and particularly institutions committed to nation-building, the Budget signals intent but also reveals the distance yet to be covered. On employability and the Professors of Practice (PoP) initiative, the direction is encouraging. Formal recognition of industry practitioners within academia can meaningfully narrow the industry–academia gap. However, for this to translate into real impact, institutions require sustained funding flexibility, clear appointment frameworks and incentives that make long-term engagement attractive for seasoned professionals. Without these…

I listened to the Union Budget 2026–27 speech carefully. Not just for numbers, but for signals. As educators, we’ve learnt that often what is left unsaid is more important that what is said. The Budget speech of Finance Minister Mrs. Nirmala Sitharaman spoke of stability, inclusion, productivity, and India’s long-term growth path. There was a clear emphasis on skilling, digital public infrastructure, and technology-led development. From a macroeconomic standpoint, the tone was reassuring. The Big Picture: Stability First, Transformation Later The Budget speech reinforced India’s strong growth momentum and fiscal discipline. Education featured within the broader framework of human capital…

Union Budget 2026 marks a welcome shift in India’s education discourse—from access and expansion to capability, innovation, and global competitiveness. Around Rs. 1.39 lac crore consolidated allocation for education marginally higher than last year and is a little over 2.5% of the total budget outlay of Rs. 53.5 Lac crore. With allocations of ₹83562 crore for school education and ₹55,727 crore for higher education, the budget signals intent to modernise learning systems through artificial intelligence, skilling, and integrated academic infrastructure. Yet, the scale of ambition is still not fully matched by the depth of fiscal commitment. The budget’s emphasis on…

India, as a country, is recognised as the manpower provider to the world. Yes, but as the provider of quality manpower, highly skilled manpower, the achievement to potential ratio is around 10 %. One of the major reasons is the high cost of higher education and inadequate support system which could act as a mitigating measure. In earlier times, a lot of talented manpower could be created because of liberal scholarship schemes by the central government or long term interest free loans by the state governments. Of course, the numbers would not have been much. But the concept holds true.…
