New age technology gets a huge fillip in Viksit Bharat Budget 2025
Op India“AI will be the most transformative technology since electricity” – said Eric Schmidt, the former CEO of Google. Building on this momentum, Union FM Nirmala Sitharaman unveiled a series of strategic initiatives around new age technology and upskilling in her 8th consecutive budget speech on 1 February 2025, as part of Viksit Bharat 2047 roadmap. Union budget’s focus around AI and new-age technology can be thought through across a few key areas: Centres of Excellence for AI in Education – A new CoE in AI for education to be set up with an outlay of INR 500 CR. Eyes on Viksit Bharat Bill Gates once famously said, “Humanity’s greatest advances are not in its discoveries but in how those discoveries are applied to reduce inequity.” The founding tenets of Antyodaya and Integral Humanism, coupled with ‘cultural nationalism’ espouse the essence of what BJP brings forth, and ties closely with the ways India has applied technology to reduce inequity across multifarious facets. And, FM Sitharaman’s Budget 2025 speech adds a further flair to that flourishing route towards an aspirational India’s striding march to Viksit Bharat 2047.
