Abstract
The most drastic cut in child budget so far has occurred in the 2015-16 budget
General trends in public expenditure on children indicate the priority accorded to children in public policy. Given the significant deficits in various development indicators regarding children, it is imperative that the government allocate sufficiently for various programmes and schemes earmarked for children. However, total resources earmarked for children (child budget, henceforth) in the Union budget shows a gloomy picture.
