Setting up of 100 labs in engineering institutions with various authorities, regulators, banks, and other businesses for developing applications using 5G services is a positive development for the technology sector and India. Some of the potential impacts that I expect: Boosting 5G Adoption would help students and researchers with access to 5G technology and resources, the labs will help to promote the adoption of 5G technology in the country.
Encouraging Innovation: By providing students and researchers with the opportunity to experiment with and develop new applications using 5G technology, the labs will encourage innovation in the field and help to drive technological advancement.
Supporting Skills Development: By providing students with hands-on experience with 5G technology, the labs will help to build the skills and knowledge required for the development and deployment of 5G applications.
Driving Economic Growth: The development of new applications and services using 5G technology will have a positive impact on the wider economy, by creating employment opportunities and promoting investment in the education and technology sector.

Three centres of excellence for artificial intelligence will be established in prestigious educational institutions to realise the aim of “Make AI in India” and “Make AI Work for India.” It is perhaps the first time that programmes to enhance capacity and promote reading have been mentioned in the union budget. The budget’s emphasis is really promising to me as an educator. In India, both public and private school education will undergo a revolution with the development of District Training Centers for educators. It is like a dream come true to establish a National Digital Library and physical libraries at the ward and panchayat levels. The National Book Trust is tasked with fostering a culture of reading by disseminating materials in a variety of regional languages.
