Abstract
Our investment in foundational years of childhood remains the same as it was in 2012-13
last 15 years, budgetary allocation for children remained stagnant in Union Budget 2017-18 with government allocating just 3.32 per cent to children. While the need is for exponential increase, allocation has seen only an incremental increase to Rs 71,305.35 crore for children from Rs 65,758.45 crore in Budget 2016-17.
