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

The Amrut Ahar scheme, which offers sizzling cooked meals to pregnant and lactating girls in tribal areas, had an allocation of INR 204 crore for FY 2021–22, which was increased than the allocations for earlier years. Sabla scheme for offering diet to adolescent women has seen large cuts in funding during the last three years. Allocations for Poshan Abhiyan too present a reducing development. The general allocations for diet declined from INR 562 crore in FY 2018–19 to INR 549 crore in FY 2021–22, accounting for a few quarter of the entire gender funds for well being and diet.
