The maintenance of law and order is the primary responsibility of the State Governments, as per the provisions of the Constitution of India. Union Government has the duty to protect the States against any internal disturbance or external aggression and to ensure that the affairs of the States are carried on in accordance with the provisions of the Constitution of India. In the allocation of responsibility within the Union Government ministries, the responsibilities for maintenance of Internal Security, Centre-State Relations, Central Armed Police Forces, Border Management, Disaster Management etc. have been entrusted to the Ministry of Home Affairs. These responsibilities are performed by implementing various programmes, schemes and projects. 2. The Outcome Budget contains the highlights of progress made in major programmes, schemes, projects and activities during the year 2014-2015 and 2015-2016, and the targets set for the year 2016-2017. 3. The contents of the Outcome Budget are divided into following seven chapters:- Chapter – 1 Contains a brief introductory note on the functions of the Ministry, its mandate, goals and policy framework, organizational set up and programmes/schemes implemented by the Ministry. Chapter – 2 Contains a Statement of Budget Estimates (SBE) included in the Expenditure Budget Vol. II vis-à-vis the outcomes. i Chapter – 3 Contains details of reform measures and policy initiatives. Chapter – 4 Deals with the past performance, including physical performance of schemes of the Ministry. Chapter – 5 Contains financial review covering overall trends in expenditure vis-à-vis Budget Estimates/Revised Estimates along with position of outstanding utilisation certificates and details of unspent balances with State Governments and implementing agencies. Chapter – 6 Includes review of performance of statutory and autonomous bodies. Chapter – 7 Deals with follow up action after presentation of Outcome Budget. ii EXECUTIVE SUMMARY There are Nine Grants for the Ministry of Home Affairs. Of these, two grants i.e. 46 & 48 are directly related to MHA, five Grants (90, 91, 92, 93 and 94) relate to Union Territories (without legislature). The respective administrative authorities of these Union Territories are largely responsible for the execution of budgetary allocations provided to them. Similarly, the Ministry is not actively involved with the allocations provided in Grant No. 47 – Cabinet and Grant No. 49 – Transfers to Union Territories (with legislatures). 2. The Ministry of Home Affairs is, therefore, directly responsible for the budgetary allocations provided under only two Grants, viz., Grant No. 46 – Ministry of Home Affairs, Grant No. 48 – Police. 3. The budgetary allocations under two Grants are given below:- (` in crore) BE 2016 – 17 Grant No. Plan Non-Plan Total 46 - MHA 1250.00 3380.90 4630.90 48 - Police 7550.00 62634.58 70184.58 Grand Total 8800.00 66015.48 74815.48 4 Grant No. 48 – Police mainly caters to the Central Armed Police Forces (CAPFs) and Central Police Organisations (CPOs) and has the highest budgetary allocation. This Grant also includes provisions for Delhi Police. 5. Chapter – 1 contains a brief introductory note on functions of the Ministry along with its organizational set up and a list of Major Schemes/progammes implemented by the Ministry. It highlights the Ministry’s Mandate, Vision, Goals, Objectives and Policy Framework. iii 6. Chapter - 2 contains a tabular format which reflects the budgetary allocations provided for major schemes/activities comprised in the three Grants directly administered by Ministry of Home Affairs. The main objective is to establish a one to one correspondence between Budget Estimates and Outcome Budget. The details comprise of the financial outlays, projected physical outputs and projected/budgeted outcomes. 7. Chapter - 3 highlights specific policy initiatives taken by the Ministry in the recent past, with a view to improve the effectiveness of the service delivery mechanism of specific schemes/activities such as (i) Provision of housing facilities for CAPF personnel working in far flung areas, (ii) the recent initiative of effective monitoring of disbursement of Central Samman Pension and setting up of a Pension Disbursement Monitoring Cell for Freedom Fighters, (iii) An ambitious project undertaken by the RGI for creation of the National Population Register (NPR) in the country, (iv) Database of medical institutions under the Civil Registration System (CRS), (v) NDRF’s successful rescue operations in various states, and (vi) various initiatives to introduce Gender Budgeting, so as to track the budgetary allocations aimed at benefiting women through specific schemes under the CAPFs and other CPOs, such as BPR&D and many more. 8. Chapter - 4 reviews the physical and financial performances of major schemes/activities undertaken in the recent past. The achievements against these schemes are also reflected. A trend analysis of the allocations and utilizations in recent years is attempted in Chapter - 5, highlighting the position of outstanding utilisation certificates (UCs) and unspent balances with State Governments and concerned implementing agencies. 9. Chapter - 6 highlights the roles and responsibilities of statutory and autonomous bodies under the Ministry, viz. National Disaster Management Authority and National Institute of Disaster Management. 10. Finally, Chapter - 7 concludes with the follow-up action taken by the Ministry after presentation of the Outcome Budget of the Ministry last year. iv 11. Generally, alternative service delivery mechanism, such as Public Private Partnerships are not suitable and feasible for the activities of Ministry of Home Affairs considering the nature of its primary role and responsibility. However, in a few limited areas, the emphasis is on injecting greater decentralization of the decision making processes. Efforts are being made to improve the pace of utilisation of allocated funds for the CAPFs so as to reduce the deficiencies in infrastructure and increase the satisfaction levels of the stakeholders. 12. In addition, special importance has been accorded to strengthening the institutional and co-ordination mechanism with regard to Disaster Management. Other initiatives include liberalization of issuance of visa, medical visas on-line, and greater investments in Information Technology in respect of the activities of the Office of the Registrar General of India. 13. The Ministry brings out its monthly financial data on its website in respect of receipts and disbursements, releases to States/UTs and major schemes etc., so as to impart greater transparency to its operations. Details are available in Chapter – 7. The Ministry has developed a management information system on monitoring of Utilization Certificates for efficient utilization of Grants released to various agencies. Further, flash expenditure figures are available on real-time basis on e-lekha – the web based expenditure information system of Controller General of Accounts. v CHAPTER –1 Mandate, Vision, Goals and Policy Framework MANDATE: 1.1 The Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) has diverse responsibilities important among them being Internal Security, Management of Central Armed Police Forces, Border Management, Centre-State relations, Administration of Union Territories, Disaster Management, etc. Though in terms of the Entries 1 and 2 of List II - ‘State List’ - in the Seventh Schedule to the Constitution of India, 'public order' and 'police' are the responsibilities of States, Article 355 of

    CHAPTER 43 ELECTORAL STATISTICS 43.1 India is a constitutional democracy with a parliamentary system of government, and at the heart of the system is a commitment to hold regular, free and fair elections. These elections determine the composition of the Government, the membership of the two houses of parliament, the state and union territory legislative assemblies, and the Presidency and vice-presidency. Elections are conducted according to the constitutional provisions, supplemented by laws made by Parliament. The major laws are Representation of the People Act, 1950, which mainly deals with the preparation and revision of electoral rolls, the Representation of the People Act, 1951 which deals, in detail, with all aspects of conduct of elections and post election disputes. 43.2 The Election Commission of India is an autonomous, quasi-judiciary constitutional body of India. Its mission is to conduct free and fair elections in India. It was established on 25 January, 1950 under Article 324 of the Constitution of India. Since establishment of Election Commission of India, free and fair elections have been held at regular intervals as per the principles enshrined in the Constitution, Electoral Laws and System. The Constitution of India has vested in the Election Commission of India the superintendence, direction and control of the entire process for conduct of elections to Parliament and Legislature of every State and to the offices of President and Vice- President of India. The Election Commission is headed by the Chief Election Commissioner and other Election Commissioners. There was just one Chief Election Commissioner till October, 1989.

  • Crocodile Tears”
    CHAPTER THREE QUEER KINSHIP IN NEW QUEER INDIA: FROM WADIA’S BOMGAY TO R. RAJA RAO’S “CROCODILE TEARS” ROHIT K DASGUPTA Established academic debates surrounding representation of queer identities in India have time and again illuminated the relationship between sexual (and gendered) subjectivities and the state. More often than not queer individuals themselves have fixated on heteronormativising their queerness. For many, such articulations of “fitting in” with the rest evidence a social/cultural and even political progress, but for radical queer activists and scholars this signifies a backward trend of servicing the neo- liberal agenda. Lisa Duggan (2002, 179) has called this homonormativity and has argued that it is “a politics that does not contest dominant heteronormative assumptions and institutions but upholds and sustains them while promising the possibility of a demobilized gay constituency and a privatized, depoliticized gay culture anchored in domesticity and consumption”. This essay therefore is a mediation of and an argument against this neo-liberal progress which assumes a universal queer identity (see Massad 2007 and Altman 1997) structured around normative family structures (through same sex marriages and adoption) and a de-essentialising of the queer body through hyper masculinity/femininity (Dasgupta and Gokulsing 2014). As recent research has suggested,there are newer ways to understand queerness beyond the state sponsored homonormativities (Puar 2006). Scholar and activist Judith Halberstam’s recent work on Gaga feminism (2012) sifts through popular cultural artefacts to uncover how these media artefacts contain within them a blueprint of dominant (heteronormative/mainstream) culture with its emphasis on stasis, norms and conventions.

  • Muslim Sexuality in Secular and Religious Legal Discourse in India
    Muslim World Journal of Human Rights Volume 4, Issue 1 2007 Article 7 THE TRANSNATIONAL MUSLIM WORLD,HUMAN RIGHTS, AND THE RIGHTS OF WOMEN AND SEXUAL MINORITIES Dual Subordination: Muslim Sexuality in Secular and Religious Legal Discourse in India Aziza Ahmed∗ ∗[email protected] Copyright c 2007 Berkeley Electronic Press. All rights reserved. Dual Subordination: Muslim Sexuality in Secular and Religious Legal Discourse in India∗ Aziza Ahmed Abstract Muslim women and Muslim members of the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender (LGBT) community face a specific form of dual subordination in relation to their gender and sexuality. A Muslim woman might seek solace from India’s patriarchal religious judicial structures only to find that the secular system’s patriarchal structures likewise aid in their subordination and create a space for new forms of such subordination. Similarly, a marginalized LGBT Muslim might at- tempt to reject an oppressive religious formulation only to come to find that the secular Indian state might criminalize a particular form of sexuality. This analysis explores how Indian laws “give meaning” to sexuality through the legal structures manifested by state and religious regula- tory bodies and argues that both religious and state legal institutions need to be reformed to create a legal environment that furthers rather than inhibits a full realization of sexual rights. KEYWORDS: India, Islamic Law, LGBT rights, human rights ∗Aziza Ahmed holds a law degree from the University of California, Berkeley and a MS in Popu- lation and International Health from the Harvard School of Public Health. She has worked with the Planned Parenthood Association of South Africa and was a former consultant for the United Na- tions Development Fund for Women (UNIFEM), the United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF), and Development Alternatives with Women in a New Era (DAWN) in the Eastern Caribbean.
