The Government of India has announced a significant increase in the education budget in the Union Budget 2026. The allocation focuses on digital learning infrastructure, skill development programs, and scholarships for economically weaker sections.
Under the new initiative, more smart classrooms will be introduced in government schools, and funding for higher education research has been expanded. The government also emphasized Artificial Intelligence (AI) and emerging technologies in university curricula.
Experts believe this move will strengthen India’s global education ranking and create more opportunities for students across the country.
