Abstract

The Union Budget 2026 - 27 is not merely an infrastructure initiative; it is the articulation of a Trinity of Missions essential for India 's transition towards a Viksit Bharat. In healthcare, nations do not become developed by spending more alone - but by building systems where care heals, education sustains, and research propels the future. Union Budget 2026 - 27, for the first time in recent memory, places all three within a single national vision.
