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.

New Delhi [India], January 31: As we approach the Union Budget, the expectations from policymakers are higher than ever. The rapid advancements in technology, the push for digital transformation, and the global economic shifts have created an inflection point where strategic fiscal decisions can accelerate India’s growth trajectory.

One of the key areas to watch is the semiconductor and electronics sector, which is critical for India’s self-reliance and global competitiveness. With ongoing geopolitical shifts and supply chain disruptions, the government must focus on incentivizing domestic chip manufacturing, fostering R&D, and strengthening the existing semiconductor ecosystem. Programs such as the Design-Linked Incentive (DLI) and Production-Linked Incentive (PLI) schemes need further expansion and simplification to encourage global players to invest in India. The budget should also address challenges in skill development, ensuring that India’s workforce is ready for the next wave of semiconductor and AI-led transformation.

One of the key highlights of India’s AI journey has been the announcement of a new indigenous AI model in next 10 months, a milestone that reinforces the country’s commitment to digital transformation. This development aligns with global trends where AI is driving efficiencies across industries, from healthcare and finance to manufacturing and mobility.

To sustain this momentum, the government must introduce incentives and a structured policy framework, combined with tax incentives for AI-driven startups, can position India as a global leader in AI innovation. Moreover, investments in AI infrastructure—such as high-performance computing (HPC) clusters and national AI research hubs—will drive deeper integration of these technologies into core sectors, unlocking new efficiencies and capabilities.

Digital infrastructure remains another focal point. While India has made remarkable progress in digital payments, cloud adoption, and cybersecurity, there is still a pressing need to expand rural digital connectivity. Incentives for 5G adoption, edge computing, and data center expansion will be crucial to bridging the digital divide. The budget must also include measures to boost cloud-native and serverless computing adoption across enterprises, which will enhance efficiency and scalability for businesses of all sizes.

For the automotive and IoT sectors, the budget should focus on accelerating the adoption of electric vehicles (EVs) and smart mobility solutions. Reducing import duties on semiconductor components essential for EVs and connected cars can drive cost efficiencies. Additionally, increased funding for smart city projects will provide a boost to IoT-based applications in urban planning, traffic management, and public safety. A structured approach toward incentivizing software-defined vehicles (SDVs) and embedded system innovations will further strengthen India’s position in automotive R&D.

Startups and MSMEs are the backbone of India’s economy, and they require continued policy support. Simplifying tax compliance, increasing access to credit, and providing incentives for innovation-led entrepreneurship will fuel the next wave of economic expansion. A special focus on deep-tech startups, particularly those working in semiconductor design, AI, and quantum computing, will help build a sustainable technology ecosystem within the country.

Lastly, the importance of sustainability cannot be overlooked. The government must push for incentives that encourage green technology adoption, energy-efficient computing, and circular economy models in manufacturing. Given India’s ambitious net-zero goals, the budget should introduce tax benefits for companies investing in renewable energy, carbon-neutral operations, and responsible electronic waste management.

The upcoming budget must strike a balance between short-term economic recovery and long-term strategic investments. A forward-looking approach that fosters innovation, strengthens digital infrastructure, and enhances skill development will ensure that India not only keeps pace with global technology trends but emerges as a leader in the digital economy.

New Delhi [India], January 31: Jagmohan Garg, an expert in the real estate market, explains how real estate buyers should go about their investment decisions. “In the dynamic world of real estate, making informed decisions is paramount. From understanding market trends to assessing personal financial readiness, this guide serves as a comprehensive resource for potential buyers,” he explains.

Entering the real estate market can be daunting, but with the right guidance and preparation, buyers can make informed investment decisions. Jagmohan Garg, a seasoned real estate expert, provides a comprehensive guide for prospective buyers. “The real estate market is a complex and dynamic industry that requires careful consideration and informed decision-making,” says Jagmohan Garg. “Whether you are a first-time buyer or a seasoned investor, understanding the intricacies of the market can make a significant difference in your real estate journey,” adds Mr. Garg.

Understanding the Market

Keeping up with The Market Trends & Location Analysis

“The location of a property is one of the most critical factors influencing its value,” mentions Mr. Garg. He also advises buyers to thoroughly research neighborhoods, considering factors such as infrastructure development, accessibility, and future growth potential. Proximity to amenities like schools, hospitals, and public transportation can significantly impact property value.

Understanding Budgeting, Financing & Investment Potential

Jagmohan Garg stresses the importance of setting a realistic budget. Buyers should evaluate their financial situation, considering down payment, loan eligibility, and additional costs like registration fees, property taxes, and maintenance. It is advisable to get pre-approved for a mortgage to understand borrowing capacity and streamline the buying process. Additionally, buyers should explore stamp duty benefits, as some states in India offer lower stamp duty charges for properties registered in the name of a female buyer. Choosing this option can lead to significant savings and make the investment more cost-effective.

“For those considering real estate as an investment, it’s essential to assess the potential return on investment (ROI),” emphasizes Jagmohan Garg. He recommends analyzing rental yields, asset appreciation, and market demand. Diversifying investments and understanding the risks involved are also crucial steps.

Why Due Diligence & Regulatory Compliance is Important

Conducting thorough due diligence is a non-negotiable step. Buyers should always verify property titles, check for any legal disputes, and ensure all necessary approvals are in place. Engaging a reputable real estate attorney can help navigate complex legalities and protect buyers from potential pitfalls.

“Understanding local regulations and compliance requirements is essential. Being aware of zoning laws, building codes, and environmental regulations is of utmost importance. Compliance ensures that the property meets legal standards and avoids future legal complications,” explains Jagmohan Garg.

How to Choose the Right Property for You?

Balancing personal preferences with market demand is crucial. Jagmohan Garg suggests prioritizing features that enhance property value and appeal to a broad audience, such as layout, design, and energy efficiency. Properties with high resale value and rental potential are ideal for both personal use and investment. Moreover, the location plays a vital role—proximity to essential amenities like schools, hospitals, shopping centers, and public transport can significantly improve daily convenience and boost the property’s appreciation potential. Properties with high resale value and strong rental prospects are ideal choices for both personal use and investment.

Jagmohan Garg also highlights the significance of adequate parking facilities when choosing a property. “Ample parking space not only adds to daily convenience but also enhances the overall value of the property. In urban areas, where parking is often a challenge, having a dedicated parking spot can be a key selling point and a valuable asset,” opines Mr. Garg.  Buyers should also consider the safety and accessibility of the parking area, as well as whether it can accommodate future needs, such as additional vehicles or electric vehicle charging stations.

Engaging Professional Services

Working with experienced professionals like real estate agents, property inspectors, and financial advisors can provide valuable insights and simplify the buying process. Garg emphasizes the role of these experts in offering market knowledge, negotiating deals, and ensuring a smooth transaction.

While summarizing, Jagmohan Garg mentions, “Entering the real estate market requires careful planning, research, and strategic decision-making. By carefully considering the guidelines outlined above, buyers can navigate the complexities of the market, make informed decisions, and achieve their real estate goals. Whether purchasing a home or investing in property, being well-prepared is the key to success in the ever-evolving real estate landscape.”

Summary:

• Event Date: January 4th, 2025, hosted by CM Shri Nayab Singh Saini.
• Focus: Personal engagement with small business entrepreneurs, mentorship, and government support for startups.
• Mentorship Proposal: Discussion about creating mentorship programs with established entrepreneurs guiding younger startups.
• Government Support: Enhanced schemes for funding, infrastructure, and market access for startups.
• Nidhi’s Grandmaa Secret: Founded in 2023 and generating crores in annual revenue, selling their hair fall control oil.
• Customer Base: Over 1.5 lakhs customers across India in 1.5 years
• Global Expansion: Expanding into Southeast Asia and the Middle East.

New Delhi [India], January 30: In a major step to bolster Haryana’s growing startup ecosystem, Chief Minister Shri Nayab Singh Saini hosted an interactive dialogue at his residence, bringing together a dynamic group of small business entrepreneurs. The event, which lasted for over two hours, focused on innovation, mentorship, and collaboration to create a thriving environment for startups in the state.

The conversation began with the Chief Minister proactively and personally interacting with the entrepreneurs in attendance. Shri Saini made it a point to get to know each person, paying close attention to their distinctive tales and the difficulties they had when starting their companies. The CM asked the attendees to share their personal stories, and the beginnings of their journeys.

Nidhi Tuteja-Dua, the founder of Nidhi’s Grandmaa Secret, was one of the entrepreneurs who proactively shared her journey. “It’s truly inspiring to have a government leader take such a personal interest in what we do. Shri Saini’s focus showed us that the government isn’t just about policies—it’s about understanding  the reality of being an entrepreneur and facing daily challenges,” Nidhi said. She emphasized that this kind of engagement sets Haryana apart from other states.

She further went on to say that, “In March 2023, I started Nidhi’s Grandmaa’s Secret with my mother-in-law’s help. At first, we made tiny amounts of herbal hair oil and sold it to our apartment complex’s neighbour’s and acquaintances. Word of mouth immediately travelled, and the response was overwhelmingly positive with results of best hair growth from the oil.” Nidhi chuckles, remembering the early days of the company. “I remember our doorbell wouldn’t stop ringing,” she says.

Nidhi’s aspiration increased in tandem with the demand. She asked her husband, Rajat Dua who’s also a digital marketing expert, for assistance in growing Nidhi’s Grandmaa Secret, and help countless individuals with the hair growth oil. The establishment of their Direct-to-Consumer (D2C) platform, which enabled them to reach a far wider audience, was made possible in large part by Rajat’s experience in creating internet businesses. They received more than 100 orders in a single day when one Instagram reel went viral.

The topic swiftly shifted from the entrepreneurs’ personal tales to a more serious one regarding how the government could effectively assist young business owners. In order to nurture the next generation of business leaders, the CM emphasized the value of guidance. He suggested that the government should establish formal mentorship programs so that more experienced business owners might advise younger, more fledgling companies.

Nidhi, who has successfully navigated the ups and downs of entrepreneurship herself, was particularly enthusiastic about the idea of mentorship. “Having someone who has been through the grind and understands the nuances of running a business is invaluable,” Nidhi stated. “I think the mentorship program will be a game-changer for many entrepreneurs, especially those just starting. It will make the journey less daunting, and help startups avoid the mistakes that often derail businesses.”

The goal of the mentorship program is to pair together seasoned business owners with up-and-coming companies, providing them with guidance on everything from funding to business strategy, and from overcoming legal obstacles to expanding operations. In addition to lowering the learning curve for aspiring business owners, the initiative would encourage industry-wide cooperation and knowledge exchange.

As the conversation went on, the emphasis switched to how the government of Haryana could assist companies more actively outside of mentorship. Important concerns were brought up by entrepreneurs regarding the need for measures to assist them reach a wider audience, more favourable infrastructure, and improved access to capital. The CM reassured the guests that the government was already aware of these problems and that it would endeavour to enhance current programs and implement new ones that would hasten the development of startups.

Also present at this meetup were founders from some of the popular shark tank brands like P-Tal, Beastlife and Pizza Galleria.

The entrepreneurs were particularly pleased with the CM’s openness to their feedback and the government’s willingness to refine policies based on real-world input. Nidhi expressed optimism about the government’s commitment to making these changes a reality: “The fact that the government is actively seeking feedback and is genuinely committed to helping us grow is inspiring. I believe this partnership between entrepreneurs and the government will create a strong ecosystem that can foster innovation and business success.”

With entrepreneurs like Nidhi leading the charge and the government backing them every step of the way, Haryana is poised to become a leading hub for startups in India.

The head of the Agori Akhada has extended his support to the Kailash Mission, affirming that Lord Shiva’s devotees will go to any lengths to serve this noble cause. Additionally, Prayagraj’s Jagat Guru Budheshwar Maharaj has pledged his support, while Yogi Chhotunath from Amritsar has expressed the Sikh community’s commitment to the initiative.

Acharya Haridas Gupta, who has lived abroad for over 30 years and built a successful business empire, claims to have had multiple divine experiences where Lord Shiva guided him towards this spiritual mission. He is currently documenting these experiences as part of Lord Shiva’s divine play.

Highlighting the religious significance of Mount Kailash, Acharya Gupta emphasized that it holds equal importance for Hindus, Sikhs, Jains, and Buddhists. Historical records suggest that Guru Nanak, the first Sikh Guru, had also undertaken the sacred journey to Kailash. Similarly, Rishabhdev, the first Jain Tirthankara, is believed to have traveled to this holy site.

What started as an individual effort just four months ago has now reached millions of devotees worldwide. Acharya Haridas Gupta is urging Shiva devotees, media professionals, government officials, and political leaders to raise their voices for a seamless pilgrimage experience. He advocates for collective action to remove any restrictions, fears, or inconveniences that hinder devotees from embarking on this spiritual journey and attaining divine blessings at Kailash Mansarovar.
