Main Body
The recent Union Budget (2025-26) allocated about Rs 8.5 lakh Crores for gender-specific policies & schemes in the country, highlighting GoI's resolve in this direction
Challenges hindering effective implementation:
Lack of data - what can't be measured can't be managed
Lack of gender-specific capacity building among officials
normal implementation of gender-specific schemes
No sense of urgency
Lack of a Feedback Mechanism - to assess the usefulness of schemes & make corrective actions
Lack of accountability & suitable action in case of negligence -> emboldens sub-par behaviour
Administrative & Political Causes
< 14% MPs in LS are women
low level of participation in higher bureaucracy
Way Forward:
Separate Output-Outcome Budget for gender-specific policies/schemes
Separate CAG Audit
Gender Sensitive Training
Increasing Women's representation
