“The Union Budget 2026–27 makes it clear that India’s next growth phase depends on connecting education to employment and enterprise. The proposed Education to Employment and Enterprise Committee introduces a stronger outcome lens.

Initiatives such as AVGC labs in schools and colleges, a new National Institute of Design, and university townships near industrial corridors support new-age career pathways aligned with industry demand.”
