India’s Union Budget 2026–27, presented by the Hon’ble Finance Minister, is more than a financial document, it is a national call to Kartavyas (duties). A duty towards our youth, towards institutions and towards India’s aspiration of becoming a Viksit Bharat.
At its core, the Budget places strong emphasis on education, skilling, research, innovation and industry readiness. Embedded within these priorities are three clear Kartavyas that must be collectively fulfilled to convert demographic advantage into global competitiveness.
As an institution deeply committed to future-ready education, NAMTECH (New Age Makers’ Institute of Technology) stands aligned with these Kartavyas, not as a commentator, but as an active enabler.
Kartavya 1: From Degrees to Deployable Skills
The first Kartavya highlighted by the Budget is unmistakable: equip India’s youth with industry-relevant, future-proof skills.
With record allocation to education and skilling, the government has reinforced a critical truth—employability is built through competence, not credentials alone. Emphasis on digital skills, AI, applied research, short-term modular courses, and integration of creative and technical capabilities reflects a decisive shift from rote learning to skill-based outcomes.
NAMTECH’s Role:
NAMTECH was created precisely to address this gap.
- Curriculum co-designed with global manufacturing and technology leaders
- Strong focus on Industry 4.0, AI, Data Science, Smart Manufacturing, Robotics and Sustainability
- Learning models that prioritize hands-on labs, live industry problems and applied projects
- Continuous upskilling mindset rather than one-time qualification
NAMTECH’s graduates are not just degree holders—they are deployable technologists, techno-managers and entrepreneurs from day one.
Kartavya 2: Bridging Academia and Industry: Not on Paper, but on the Shopfloor
The second Kartavya is about closing the long-standing gap between academia and industry.
The Budget’s focus on education–industry linkages, university townships, research hubs, and corporate training initiatives signals a recognition that innovation thrives where classrooms meet real-world challenges.
NAMTECH’s Role:
Industry integration is not an add-on at NAMTECH—it is the foundation.
- Industry professionals as co-educators and mentors
- Continuous exposures & immersion to factory floors, digital manufacturing environments, living-learning mini factories and live
systems - Capstone projects aligned with actual industry transformation goals
- Emphasis on problem-solving, systems thinking and execution excellence
NAMTECH prepares engineers who can operate, optimize and innovate, not just observe.
Kartavya 3: Creating Inclusive, Ethical and Future-Ready Technologists
The third Kartavya is perhaps the most transformative: Ensure that growth is inclusive, ethical and sustainable.
The Budget’s attention to women’s education, STEM participation, startup incubation, AI ethics, healthcare skilling, and Tier-2 and Tier-3 outreach underlines a broader vision—technology must serve society responsibly.
NAMTECH’s Role:
NAMTECH actively nurtures this mindset by:
- Encouraging diverse participation, including women in advanced technology programmes
- Embedding ethics, sustainability and responsible AI into technical education
- Fostering leadership, collaboration and societal awareness alongside technical mastery
- Preparing students to be value creators and entrepreneurs, not just job seekers
A Viksit Bharat requires technologists and techno-managers who understand impact, not just innovation.
From Budget Vision to Ground Reality
Budgets can allocate resources. Policies can set direction.
But institutions like NAMTECH convert vision into velocity.
By aligning deeply with national priorities, industry needs and youth aspirations, NAMTECH is contributing to the very ecosystem the Finance Minister has envisioned—where skilling, education, innovation and industry move in unison.
Lastly, Kartavya is Collective
The journey to Viksit Bharat is not the responsibility of the government alone.
It is a shared Kartavya of policymakers, educators, industry leaders and institutions.
At NAMTECH, we consider it our duty to shape young technologists who are skilled, ethical, industry-ready and globally competitive—engineers who will not just participate in India’s growth story, but actively lead it.
Kartavya se Karm, aur Karm se Viksit Bharat.
