Identifying fault lines in Maharashtra’s gender budget for health and nutrition

1.2. Budgets for different heath wants 

Two kinds of interventions are reported within the GBS for different well being wants: District girls’s hospitals, and feminine and male sterilisations. District girls’s hospitals had an allocation of INR 15 crore in FY 2021–22, which was lower than the allocations and expenditure of INR 18 crore in FY 2020-21 and FY 2019-20 respectively. On the subject of sterilisation, the gender imbalance is obvious because the state continues to take a position extra on feminine sterilisation as in comparison with that for males (Fig 2). With an funding of 1.5 % of the entire gender funds for well being and diet in FY 2021-22, different well being wants of girls and women are clearly not prioritised by the State.
