“The Union Budget 2025 is pivotal for India’s education and skilling landscape. Although digital education has made significant progress in the past few years, this year’s real challenge will be bridging the education-skilling-employability gap.

The current digital infrastructure needs to be more robust and accessible. It would be a game-changer if targeted tax breaks and incentivised collaborations between EdTech platforms and educational institutions became part of this budget. This could help create scalable, job-focused skilling programs for in-demand roles across industries. Furthermore, access to skilling for economically disadvantaged students deserves attention. I hope the Government will announce interest-free loans and reduce GST rates on education and skilling initiatives to ensure that learning becomes more accessible to those who need it most.” – Anil Nagar, Founder & CEO, Adda247
