SUMMARY:Provision for Urban Sector in Gujarat Budget (2025–26) and the State’s Urban Challenges
DESCRIPTION:Habitat Forum (INHAF) invites you for a webinar on Provision for the Urban Sector in Gujarat Budget (2025-26) and the State’s Urban Challenge. Join us on 10th May 2025 (Saturday) at 6 PM IST.\nGujarat, one of India’s most urbanized states, is home to an urban population of over 34 million—nearly 50% of its total population, and stands as the country’s fifth-largest economy. Yet, according to NITI Aayog’s 2023-2024 SDG India Index Report, Gujarat is among the eight states lagging behind in SDG 2: Zero Hunger, and is a poor performer in SDG 5: Gender Equality. Nearly 10% of the population still lives below the poverty line, and hunger and malnutrition continue to be serious concerns. In education, a sector where Gujarat has historically taken pride—the state has slipped to 18th rank nationally in providing quality education, with dropout rates in secondary and higher education exceeding the national average.\nThese are just some of the facts, raising questions on what does development truly mean—and for whom? How can modernization coexist with rising inequality and social distress? And how do we ensure the best of our Gujarat’s economic progress?\nWe expect the experts and participants to critically examine the state’s budget priorities, urban governance, and developmental choices through a multi-dimensional lens in the planned webinar. We hope to generate some ideas and build some momentum in the direction of all round activation.\n
