Borrowed Survival
₹93,726 crore of the state budget services debt. Money that repays yesterday cannot build tomorrow.

Punjab Padhao / Mandate 01
Theoretical education is bankrupting Punjab.
We do not need better memorisation. We need a generation that can write code, file a GST return, wire a sensor and run a business by Grade 10. That pipeline is the PEER Blueprint.
Section 02 / The Fiscal Reality
The state is not short of talent. It is short of cash.
Debt Repayment₹ Crore 93,726
Fiscal Deficit₹ Crore 39,971
Practical Tech Pipeline₹ Crore 0
Fiscal deficit targeted at 4.1% of GSDP (₹39,971 crore). ₹93,726 crore allocated to debt repayment. Practical tech-pipeline funding: effectively nil.
The Missing Tech Hub
Punjab has no state-scale technology hub. No deep-tech employer base means no reason for a trained engineer to stay.
The Talent Exodus
Youth are trained to pass exams, then exported abroad. The state funds the training and loses the output.
