2. India–World Bank $10B Growth Framework

India and the World Bank launched a $8–10 billion partnership for 2026–31. The framework supports inclusive growth through rural development, better urban systems, renewable energy expansion, climate resilience, and stronger investments in health and education.

3. Female Workforce Participation Rises

Female labour force participation rose sharply to 41.7%, according to the Economic Survey. Still, unpaid care work, mobility limits, costly education, and lack of flexible job options continue to restrict long-term and equitable workforce participation for women.

4. Budget Push for Industry and MSMEs

The Union Budget promotes capital goods and infrastructure manufacturing through higher public spending. It also supports MSMEs with equity backing, improved liquidity via TReDS reforms, and professional mentorship to enhance growth, competitiveness, and job creation.

The Finance Commission kept states’ tax share at 41% and proposed a 3% GSDP fiscal deficit cap, excluding SASCI loans. It also recommended adding heatwaves and lightning as nationally notified disasters to strengthen funding and response systems.

6. Safer Railways and Energy Stability Goals

Indian Railways is expanding Kavach 4.0, an advanced safety system to prevent train collisions and signal violations. India also targets 100 GW of pumped storage capacity by 2035–36 to store renewable power and maintain grid stability.

7. Supreme Court Questions Data Sharing Policy

The Supreme Court examined WhatsApp’s 2021 policy that enabled data sharing with Meta. The case raises concerns about user consent, digital market dominance, and gaps in India’s DPDP law regarding users’ rights over data-generated economic value.

8. Boost to India’s Creative Economy

The Budget supports animation, gaming, design, and digital media sectors. Plans include AVGC labs in schools and colleges, backing for the Indian Institute of Creative Technologies, and a new design institute to strengthen India’s creative workforce.

9. Expanding Rural Cooperatives and PACS

PACS will be upgraded into multipurpose rural centres offering storage, processing, credit, and digital services. Reforms such as computerisation, model bye-laws, and greater inclusion of women and SC/ST members aim to modernise cooperatives.
