Poshan Abhiyan, the flagship programme meant to improve nutritional outcomes by 2022, was also damaged

The Union Budget delivered earlier this month was praised for two things. First, that it was spending money in the right place: capital expenditure, which would create value over the long term. And second, that it was transparent. The deficit is three times what it should be, but at least the government has accepted it. Perhaps these two things are enough to make it a good Budget, though one doesn’t know. There has not really been any Budget I can remember that made any difference to most people’s lives, except perhaps one, and that was in 1991.

Budget for child and maternal nutrition schemes shrinks despite concerns over rising hunger

The Union Budget for 2021-’22 includes significant cuts to the funds allocated towards social welfare programmes such as child and maternal nutrition schemes.
Researchers and activists have expressed concern that several separate schemes for women and children have been clubbed together and jointly allocated funds that are lower than previous years.
These budget cuts come in the wake of a Covid-19 pandemic and lockdown that disrupted the supply of food grains to millions of vulnerable populations across India in 2020.
Integrated Child Development Scheme
The budget for the Integrated Child Development Scheme – an infant and child nutrition scheme that involves running village-level anganwadis or creches – was Rs 20,532 crore in the 2020-’21 budget. This year, however, the ICDS has been clubbed under the Centre’s Saksham scheme, along with the Poshan Abhiyan, Scheme for Adolescent Girls and the National Creche Scheme. The total fund allocated to the Saksham scheme is Rs 20,105 crore – less than the previous year’s total budget of Rs 24,557 crore for Saksham, and also less than the 2020-’21 budget for ICDS alone.

In a year of economic slowdown and growing inequality, we have been presented with a stingy Budget that fails to ensure the bare necessities for all
While the country continues to grapple with the health and economic crisis as a result of COVID-19, widespread hunger and food insecurity is a silent emergency that has not been getting sufficient attention. Unfortunately, the Union Budget also does not include any significant measures to address this.
