Dr. Siddharth Chaturvedi’s Reaction on Budget 2025
“Budget 2025 focuses on establishing National Centers of Excellence for skill development and AI-driven education. This is a crucial step toward unlocking growth and employment opportunities for our youth. This initiative will not only equip them with cutting-edge skills but also foster curiosity and innovation. Additionally, the expansion of customized credit cards for small enterprises and the credit guarantee scheme for startups will provide essential financial support, empowering MSMEs and entrepreneurs. The extension of the Jal Jeevan Mission until 2028 further reinforces the government’s commitment to rural development. The visionary measures in this budget will strengthen India’s education system, encourage entrepreneurship, and lay a solid foundation for inclusive growth.”

Dr. Santosh Choubey’s Reaction on Budget 2025
*”Budget 2025 presents a progressive vision for higher education and the skill development ecosystem in India. A key initiative introduced in this budget is the Indian Language Book Plan, which aims to provide digital books in Indian languages for school and higher education students. This step will make learning more accessible by offering study material in regional languages, aligning with the government’s efforts to promote linguistic diversity and integrate technology into education.
The expansion of digital public infrastructure for education, increased funding for PM Kaushal Vikas Yojana 4.0, and the establishment of new Skill India International Centers will play a transformational role in bridging the gap between academic learning and industry demands. Furthermore, the proposed multi-disciplinary research universities and increased collaboration in emerging technologies like AI, robotics, and green energy will foster innovation and future-ready skills.
At AISECT, we are committed to leveraging these initiatives to build a strong, inclusive, and dynamic workforce that will contribute to India’s growth story.”*

Pallavi Rao Chaturvedi’s Reaction on Budget 2025
*”Budget 2025 is a significant step toward promoting women empowerment, economic participation, and social equality. The increased focus on Women’s Honor Savings Certificate, the expansion of SHG (Self-Help Group) initiatives under DAY-NRLM, and dedicated funding for women-led startups highlight the government’s strong commitment to gender-inclusive development.
Moreover, the emphasis on financial inclusion and skill development programs tailored for women will open new pathways for economic independence. The proposed incentives for toy manufacturing will support the Make in India initiative. Establishing a robust toy manufacturing ecosystem and preparing a skilled workforce in this sector is a highly encouraging move.
A landmark decision in this budget is the initiative to support 500,000 SC/ST women entrepreneurs in launching their businesses. This will play a pivotal role in empowering women and fostering an inclusive economic landscape.
At AISECT, we firmly believe that these initiatives not only empower women but also act as a catalyst for sustainable and inclusive national development.”*
