Decoding R&D in the Union Budget 2025-26
Episode description
A budget reflects the government's priorities. The union finance minister presented the budget a few days back. Given the role of research and development (R&D) in fostering innovation and driving economic growth, it is worth exploring the union budget provisions to facilitate R&D in India - What does the government's R&D spending look like? What about prominent policies like the Anusandhan National Research Foundation or One Nation, One Subscription? How will the Finance Minister's announcement of a ₹20,000 crore loan to private sector research play out? Sarthak Pradhan and Shambhavi Naik dive into these questions in this episode of All Things Policy.
