  • Focus
    Around 60 per cent of school-age children are now in the category termed as ‘effectively out-of-school’. They are deprived of education due to the ‘digital divide’ (lack of access to internet) — a situation that has emerged because of the pandemic. 
    In this study, we explore child budgeting in the specific context of India’s Central and sub-national government responses to the pandemic, with a focus on the states of Karnataka, Gujarat, Odisha and Telangana. The inferences from our study on child budgeting of these specific states will help the Ministry of Finance to strengthen child budgeting as a public financial management tool for accountability, at the Central and state government levels.
