18 Expectations for Citizens Under 18 From Union Budget 2016-17 | ||
Delhi, India Children are not the ‘citizens of tomorrow’, 400 million children comprising about 40% of the India’s population are very much citizens of today! The total Child Budget in 2015 – 2016 has declined substantially both in absolute amount and as proportion of the Total Union Budget. In absolute terms, child budget has decreased from Rs. 81075.26 crore in 2014-15 (BE) to Rs. 57918.51 crore in 2015-16 (BE). In the background of 14th Finance Commission recommendation, the changing ratios and fund devolutions, it is clear that states have differential absorption as well as fund allocating capacities. This year will be crucial year to see how the restructuring is likely to impact children. The budgetary allocations for children should reflect Government’s intent of treating children as ‘supremely important asset'.
Here are 18 expectations for Children from Union Budget 2016-17 FOR 0-6 years
