As the nation eagerly awaits the unveiling of the Union Budget 2025, scheduled for tomorrow,all eyes are on the government's vision for a more equitable and prosperous society. Let's see the key highlights of Economic Survey 2025, which was released today.

Economic Survey 2025: Highlights For Women, Children, And Education

Neha Cadabam, Senior Psychologist and Executive Director at the Cadabams Hospitals, said, "The recent Economic Survey 2024-25 highlights significant strides in women's economic participation across India. Notably, the Female Labour Force Participation Rate (FLFPR) has seen a commendable rise, with the majority of states now reporting rates between 30-40%. The fact that over 73,151 startups with at least one woman director have been recognised under the Startup India Initiative, accounting for nearly half of all registered startups in the country shows that there has been a much-needed shift in women's workforce participation."

"Studies indicate that women in India's workforce experience higher levels of stress compared to their male counterparts. It is imperative that the budget focus on comprehensive workplace mental health programs that offer counselling services, stress management workshops, and mental health days. The focus must also be on fostering a culture where women feel safe to discuss their health needs openly and ensure that mental health support is accessible and stigma-free," she added.

ErKoneru Lakshman Havish, Vice President at KL Deemed to Be University, states, "The Economic Survey 2025 presents a clear focus on India’s efforts to maintain fiscal discipline and promote long-term economic growth. However, true progress will depend on a balanced approach that not only drives private investment but also ensures job creation and innovation. A strong, skilled workforce is key to achieving this goal."

"By investing in education, technology, and entrepreneurship, we can equip the next generation to meet future challenges. With continued emphasis on research, collaboration between industries and institutions, and smart policies, India can achieve sustainable, inclusive growth and strengthen its position on the global stage," he continued.
