Kerala's 2026-27 Budget likely to focus on higher education sector

Kerala's revised budget for 2026-27 is expected to prioritize the higher education sector, with a focus on the UDF coalition's flagship 'Indira Guarantee' scheme. The budget is likely to provide a roadmap for implementing the initiative, which promises to provide a monthly stipend of ₹1,000 to college-going girls in the state.

The scheme represents the UDF's commitment to promoting women's education and reducing financial barriers for female students pursuing higher studies in Kerala.
