As a proud organic food brand committed to sustainable farming and promoting India’s organic produce globally, we’re thrilled to see the Union Budget 2025-26 shaping up to prioritize organic and natural farming. The government’s intent to double organic exports to $1 billion by FY26 and the proposed incentives to support farmers reflect a strong commitment to sustainability and global market leadership. These steps not only address challenges like pesticide residue norms but also offer farmers the support they need to transition to organic practices seamlessly.

The emphasis on certification, branding, and bio-input provision through resource centers is a game-changer for the organic industry. It aligns perfectly with our mission to deliver authentic, high-quality organic products while empowering farmers and promoting sustainable agricultural practices.

We are equally excited about the proposed push for quality seeds from government universities and climate resilient farming practices. Ensuring farmers have access to localized seed production and improved crop varieties can significantly enhance productivity and strengthen India’s agricultural backbone.

Moreover, the focus on digital literacy, farmer education, and tools like Agri Stack and e-NAM presents incredible opportunities to bridge gaps in precision farming and marketing. The vision of village-level digital kiosks as resource hubs resonates with our belief in empowering farmers with knowledge and market access.

As we await the Union Budget, we remain optimistic about its potential to accelerate India’s journey toward becoming a global organic powerhouse. Here’s to a future rooted in sustainability, innovation, and shared prosperity!

Digital twins are intelligent, virtual replicas of physical assets that use real-time data to simulate, monitor, and optimize performance. By creating these virtual counterparts, stakeholders gain actionable insights that improve efficiency, reduce costs, and enhance sustainability. These models enable predictive analysis, helping to forecast outcomes, pinpoint inefficiencies, and refine operational processes in a variety of contexts, from individual buildings to entire urban infrastructures.

For urban development, where sustainability is now a critical priority, digital twins offer a potent tool to address pressing environmental challenges. They provide insights into energy consumption, waste management, and resource allocation, empowering stakeholders to make informed decisions. By monitoring energy efficiency and optimizing resource usage, digital twins play a pivotal role in reducing carbon footprints and promoting greener construction practices throughout a project’s lifecycle.

Beyond enhancing sustainability, digital twins are revolutionizing how projects are executed. Construction delays, inefficiencies, and budget overruns, which are all too common in the AEC industry, can be significantly mitigated with the integration of this technology. By offering a centralized platform for real-time collaboration, digital twins allow project teams to track construction progress, foresee potential bottlenecks, and allocate resources effectively. The inclusion of IoT devices and sensors ensures that real-world data is continuously captured and analyzed, enabling teams to address issues proactively, minimize downtime, and deliver projects on schedule and within budget.

The value of digital twins extends well beyond project completion. In the operations and maintenance phases, these models are instrumental in predictive maintenance, allowing facility managers to monitor critical systems such as HVAC, lighting, and elevators in real time. This proactive approach not only extends the lifecycle of built assets but also reduces operational costs and resource consumption. Urban planners, too, are leveraging digital twins to simulate and optimize city infrastructure, including traffic flows, water distribution networks, and energy systems. Such applications pave the way for smarter, more efficient cities that improve the quality of life for their residents.

As digital twins continue to bridge the gap between physical and digital realms, they are becoming an essential component of the AEC industry’s future. This technology enables smarter and more sustainable urban operations, redefining how cities are designed, constructed, and managed. For professionals in the AEC sector, adopting digital twin technology is no longer a choice but a necessity to remain competitive and drive meaningful transformation.

As urban centers expand and sustainability becomes an indispensable part of planning, digital twins are poised to lead the charge in creating a more sustainable and resilient future. Their ability to optimize city operations, enhance infrastructure management, and reduce environmental impact positions them as a cornerstone of innovation in urban development. By embracing digital twins, the AEC industry not only unlocks new opportunities for operational excellence but also contributes to building smarter, greener cities for generations to come.

New Delhi [India], January 31: Education is the cornerstone of progress, with its impact spanning economic growth, social equity and innovation. While the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020 has laid the foundation for transformative reforms, the upcoming budget presents a unique opportunity to address NEP goals, key challenges and further strengthen the education ecosystem.

Rustom Kerawalla, Founder Chairman – VIBGYOR Group of Schools, highlights how the upcoming budget holds special significance in the light of a renewed national focus in building a New India.

Increased budget allocation: The Kothari Commission in the 1960s had set out an objective of 6% allocation of GDP to truly transform India’s education landscape. A higher budget allocation is the need of the hour and can directly impact student outcomes, especially in India’s rural and under-developed regions.

Proper allocation of resources: According to a news report in Medium, Rs 11.11 lakh crore was set aside for overall capital expenditure for FY 2024-25. However, only Rs 5.13 lakh crore was spent. This shortfall points out the inefficiency in allocation of resources and how the right structure can help in bringing about a significant change if state education schemes get the much needed capital to enhance or implement programmes.

Effective budget utilization: Only allocating a certain budget will not have the desired effect, the effective utilisation of these resources is crucial. With the National Education Policy 2020 in focus, educators and policymakers are hoping to get an increased budget allocation and effectively utilising it towards funding digital initiatives, vocational training and skill development programmes.

Technology upgrades: New-Age innovations like EdTech assessment and learning platforms, smart classrooms, e-learning solutions, and AI-powered assessmentsremain largely confined to urban areas. With appropriate budget allocation, tech-driven education can be extended to tier 2 and tier 3 cities, ensuring equitable access and bridging the digital divide in India’s education sector.

Regional disparities: Reports also point out that allocation of resources is often unequal. NITI Aayog’s School Education Quality Index (SEQI) points out that all states spend differently per student. For example, states like Kerala and Tamil Nadu tend to spend higher on their students as opposed to Bihar and Uttar Pradesh. Budget 2025-26 needs to address these regional disparities and strategically invest in underperforming states.

Infrastructure: The education sector in India needs to elevate its physical and digital infrastructure. The Ministry of Education’s 2024 report states that as many as 23% of schools do not have functional toilets and at least 17% does not have access to clean drinking water. An appropriate funding allocation can help close infrastructure gaps leading to a low dropout rate.

Public-Private Partnerships (PPP): Incentivizing PPP in the education sector is a crucial step to harness the strengths of both public and private stakeholders to improve access, quality, and innovation in education delivery. Through PPP, the private sector can bring in expertise, innovation, and financial resources, while the public sector ensures equitable access and regulation. Incentives like tax benefits, subsidies, or grants can encourage private entities to invest in education initiatives, particularly in underserved and rural areas. This can lead to the establishment of new schools, adoption of technology-driven learning tools, and the development of teacher training programmes.

In conclusion, the Union Budget 2025-26 needs to take all of these into consideration before arriving on a number that will positively affect India’s schools, higher education institutions and skill development programmes. It is crucial for the government to take bold and visionary steps to prioritize the education sector, recognizing its pivotal role in shaping India’s future.

Enhanced budgetary allocations, targeted reforms and incentivizing collaborative efforts such as Public-Private Partnerships will pave the way for a more inclusive, innovative, and accessible education system.
