PM Modi Announces Free Online Coaching For 1 Crore Youth

PM Modi announced free online coaching for youth on Independence Day, assuring families they can save "thousands of crores" on coaching and stay close to children, per YourStory. For edtech platforms, this is a government subsidy signal; expect RFPs and partnerships with state boards; position yourself as a delivery partner (content + assessment infrastructure) rather than a direct consumer player, or risk margin compression from free government offerings.
