Gender Responsive Budgeting in India: Glimpses of New Pathways
Following the adoption of GRB by the Union Government, many states have undertaken initiatives for institutionalisation of the strategy. Unfortunately, the trajectory of GRB has by and large hit the same road blocks at the state level. However, amidst the scepticism about the strategy, a close look at the state level points to movement in the right direction. While these developments may not be evidence of outcomes of GRB, they do point to efforts at substantive implementation of the strategy.
This paper brings to fore a few such examples and discusses the learnings from these that could throw light on the way forward for GRB in India.
