The Union Budget 2026 has delivered a significant win for India’s digital content creators. Central to the announcement is the establishment of AVGC (Animation, Visual Effects, Gaming, and Comics) Creator Labs in 15,000 secondary schools and 500 colleges. This initiative aims to equip students with critical skills in digital storytelling, visual design, editing, and thumbnail creation. Additionally, the government launched the National Destination Digital Knowledge Grid to help digitize India’s cultural heritage, creating massive opportunities for travel and educational vloggers. The budget also highlights a new National Design Institution in Eastern India and skill development for 10,000 tourist guides through IIMs. Furthermore, storytelling facilities at 15 major archaeological sites like Lothal and Sarnath will empower research-driven creators. With substantial funding for broadcasting and publicity, the creator economy is now firmly positioned as a pillar of national growth.
