Education Budget 2025 LIVE: Financial support needed for loans of up to ₹10 lakh for higher education in domestic institutions
“We hope the Union Budget 2025 builds on earlier provisions, particularly the financial support for loans of up to ₹10 lakh for higher education in domestic institutions, making it more accessible to students. Additionally, we look forward to this budget advancing support for education, employment, and skills through supportive schemes.
Another key focus should be increasing access to quality education and technology, especially in rural and underserved areas. Investments in expanding connectivity, modernising classrooms and creating accessible online learning platforms are essential to bridging the digital divide and making education more accessible to all.
As the world evolves, the demand for skilled professionals across various sectors will grow. Meeting this need requires laying the groundwork at the school level. Strengthening industry-academia connections will better prepare students to navigate dynamic challenges, particularly in technology-disrupted environments. Easing GST on higher education institutes, coupled with tax benefits for students and professionals availing education loans for self, could provide significant relief to both institutions and students.”
