Commenting on the Interim Union Budget and its impact for the education industry, Prajodh Rajan, Co-Founder & Group CEO, Lighthouse Learning (formerly EuroKids International), said, “The Interim Union Budget offers a beacon of hope for India’s education landscape. As rightly mentioned by the Union Finance Minister, the National Education Policy 2020 has ushered in transformational reforms in terms of delivering quality education across the country. Upgrading Anganwadi centers through Saksham Anganwadi and Poshan 2.0 is a welcome step, to not only expedite the improved nutrition delivery but also prioritise early childhood care and development, laying the foundation for a brighter future for our country. The continued emphasis on STEM education and empowering girls and women is particularly encouraging.
We believe that these initiatives have the potential to unlock India’s vast human capital and propel our nation towards becoming a developed country by 2047. We must ensure that the allocated funds reach the grassroots level and translate into tangible improvements in classrooms and learning outcomes. Collaboration between government, educators, and private stakeholders will be crucial in achieving these ambitious goals. We look forward to more positive changes in the future with hope and optimism and are committed to playing our part in building a brighter future for our children.”
