The document discusses the Union Budget 2018 allocation for education in India. Key points include allocating Rs. 9975 crore for the National Social Assistance Program, improving teacher quality through an integrated B.Ed. program, increasing digital learning through the DIKSHA teacher training portal, establishing Ekalavya model schools in tribal blocks by 2020, and launching the RISE initiative with Rs. 100,000 crore over 4 years for education infrastructure development. The presentation raises concerns about whether budget allocations will actually reach rural children due to issues with school infrastructure, health facilities, and girls' safety and access in some areas.
