Questions relating to gender have been taken up in academic as well as policy research in a number of areas and the consequent insights and debates are very rich. Questions pertaining to gender in the context of fiscal policy too are not new in the discourse on development and public policy in India. However, research on gender responsiveness of government budgets in the country dates back only to the late 1990s. Within half a decade of such efforts getting initiated by some academics and international as well national development organisations, the Union Government of India did adopt Gender Responsive Budgeting (or Gender Budgeting) as one of its strategies for mitigating vulnerability of women and girl children in the country to different kinds of gender-based disadvantages or challenges. The efforts within the Union Government, led by the Ministry of Women and Child Development and supported by the Ministry of Finance, led to the introduction of a Gender Budget Statement in the Union Budget documents in 2005-06 along with a number of other measures such as setting up of Gender Budget Cells in various Ministries, and training and capacity building of government officials, among others. The Gender Budget Statement seems to have drawn a lot more attention (of the policy community) than the other measures, and it seems logical too since these Statements in the Union Budget as well as some of the State Budgets have been the only source of verifiable, quantitative information on government’s efforts in this domain over the last few years. However, within less than a decade of adoption of Gender Responsive Budgeting in the Union Government and some of the State Governments, a number of questions have been raised not only on the quality of efforts being carried out under this strategy but also on the potential of the strategy itself. With regard to the potential ‘impact’ of Gender Responsive Budgeting, we must take into account that – it’s an ambitious strategy that aims to amend major processes in the country’s fiscal architecture, which is vast and complex, and hence needs adequate time; and, the strategy has hardly been implemented yet, as reporting (of fund allocations) in the Gender Budget Statement, which should have been seen only as a means to facilitate improvements in the budget processes and policies in favour of women and girl children, seems to have been perceived by many Ministries / Departments as the end in itself. Nonetheless, there have also been a few encouraging stories of relevant efforts being made at the level of a State Government or Union Ministries, and such efforts need to be replicated elsewhere. v With this backdrop, CBGA has carried out this study on Gender Responsive Budgeting in the Union Government and selected States (viz. Kerala, Karnataka, Madhya Pradesh and Bihar), which highlights both the gaps and some positive developments. It also provides useful insights on how the strategy of Gender Responsive Budgeting should be re-interpreted by our policymakers so that we realize the required changes in planning and budgeting that are long overdue now, which in turn could facilitate mitigation of the gender-based challenges confronting women and girl children in the country.
