HAQ: Centre for Child Rights Budget for Children 2014-15

of 17

Almost 40 per cent persons in India are

children.

On 10 July 2014, the new BJP Government

presented its first budget, popularly being

called the NAMO Budget.

Unfortunately, despite a letter to the

Finance Minister on 23 June 2014

highlighting the areas of concern for children that require his attention, there

was little attention paid to them.

Children received barely a mention in the Finance Minister’s speech. What is

more, the share of budget for children has seen a decrease.

Major highlights for Budget for Children (BfC) in Union Budget 2014-

15

Children have who constitute almost 40 percent of the population have been allocated less

than 5 per cent of the total budget (4.52 percent).

While the total Union Budget has gone up by 7.78 per cent in 2014-15, the BfC has

increased by 4.97 per cent.

What is more, although in actual allocations for children have gone up by 4.97 per cent,

there is a decrease in the percentage share from 4.64 per cent in 2013-14 to 4.52 per cent

in 2014-15. And this, despite substantial increase in existing schemes like ICDS, ICPS and

SSA and the addition schemes for children with disability and girl children.

While education sector receives the maximum share (3.26 per cent) in the Union Budget,

there is a 2.32 per cent decline against the allocation made for school education in the

previous year.

Children have been given only 4.52

per cent of the total budget of 2014

-15.

In fact the share of children in

Union Budget 2014-15 has

decreased.

Is this the Finance Minister’s gift to

children of India?

Despite small increases in the allocation for child health and protection sectors they

remain poorly resourced. (0.16 percent share of Union Budget for child health and 0.04 per

cent for protection)

A look at some of the flagship schemes:

A new scheme for the welfare of girl child named “Beti Bachao Beti Padhao Yojana” has

been launched this year with a total earmarked budget of Rs. 100 Crore. However, this

scheme does not feature anywhere in the Statement 22.

There is a 2.80 per cent increase in the allocation for ‘Integrated Child Development

Scheme’ (ICDS), (Rs. 18,195 Crore). The new ICDS in mission mode to deal with

malnutrition leaves us with some hopes in future.

Allocation for ‘Mid Day Meal’ remains unchanged this year with a total allocation of Rs.

13,215 Crore.

‘Sarva Shiksha Abhiyaan’ (SSA) received a minimal increase of just Rs 500 Crore

compared to the last year’s allocation (Allocation of Rs. 27,758 Crore in 2014-15).

There is a 33.33 per cent increase in

allocation for ‘Integrated Child

Protection Scheme’ (ICPS) in 2014-15.

The most laudable step has been

inclusion of specific allocation for

children in two schemes the ‘Deen Dayal

Disabled Rehabilitation Scheme’ and the

‘Aids and Appliances for Handicapped’.

Department of Disability Affairs has been

set up under the Ministry of Social Justice

and Empowerment.

The most important and welcome move this year has been the

addition of two schemes in Statement 22 relating to welfare of

disabled children. These schemes have always been under the

Ministry of Social Justice and Empowerment and are schemes

that cater to all disabled children and not children specifically.

However, by demarcating a separate budget under these

schemes for children with disability is a very positive and long

awaited move and must be welcomed by all.

Deendayal Disabled Rehabilitaion Scheme (Rs.36 Crore

allocated in 2014-15)

Aids and Applainces for Handicapped (Rs.11 Crore

allocated in 2014-15)

Children’s share in the Union Budget 2014-15

Out of every 100 rupees, children get only 4 rupees 52 paise in Union Budget

2014-15.

Sectoral Share in Union Budget 2014-15

As usual, Education

receives the maximum

share of allocations, while

Health and Protection

continue to be at margins

with minimal share of

allocations.

Although the Union Budget

at BE stage increased by

7.78 per cent in comparison

to previous year, the share

of allocations for child

health remain exactly the same as it was in the previous year’s budget and share of child

protection observe a slight increase this year.

In fact, the shares of child education and child development have observed a decrease in

2014-15 budget. The table below describes the sectoral share in Union Budget 2014-15.

Sectoral Share within BfC 2014-15

Within BfC, education sector has

been given the maximum share of

72.21 per cent. However, what is

more important is there is a 2.32

per cent decrease in comparison

to the share it received in the

2013-14 BfC.

Child development too observed a

decrease of 4.44 per cent in the

share of allocations.

Child health and protection saw a

nominal increase in the share within BfC.

mention in the Statement 22. For details of these schemes, please see Annexure.

Tracking Statement 22 since 2008-09

In the current Union Budget, children have received a reduced share of 4.52 per cent of the

total allocation against last year. A brief analysis of Statement 22 suggests that this year (i.e. in

2014-15 Statement 22), there were a total of 91 Schemes/programmes floated by 19

Ministries/departments. Initially, when Statement 22 was launched, 10 Ministries/Departments

sanctioned a total of 49 schemes/programmes for children giving a total of 4.45 per cent of

share of financial resources to children.

Over the years, the number of Ministries/Departments kept increasing and so the number of

schemes/programmes, but the Budget for Children (BfC) did not see much of change. In 2010-

11, a total of 109 schemes featured in Statement 22 by 21 Ministries/Departments, but the BfC

remained a menial 4.06 per cent. On the other hand, in 2012-13, with 18 Ministries floating 96

Programmes/Schemes for children, the share of children observed to be 4.76 per cent, which

was the highest share in last 7 years.

Such fluctuations in Statement 22 and share of children in total Union Budget raise serious

questions about the political will towards the welfare of children. The figure below graphically

represents the share of children and Ministries featuring in the Statement 22.

Sectoral Allocations for Children- In Detail

Child Health

With a 10.38 per cent increase in

allocation against last year’s allocations,

child health received a total sum of Rs.

2914.44 Crore in the 2014-15 budget.

Yet as a share of total allocation it

remains very small.

There is a noteworthy increase of 11.10

per cent in the allocation of NRHM-RCH

Flexi Pool with allocations going from

2360.11 Crore in 2013-14 to 2622.10

Crore in 2014-15.

This year too, in Statement 22 of the Budget Document, the allocations for Routine

Immunization and Pulse polio Immunization remains ZERO as they have become the

components of the Flexi Pool.

As the Flexi Pool is not just child specific,

but it covers the general health too,

monitoring of Flexi Pool is a much

needed task. Also, there is no clarity on

how much will be spent on immunization

programmes.

As per SRS Bulletin September 2013, the

IMR in India has been noted as 42 per

1000 children, which is way far to reach

the Millennium Development Goal,

which has been set as 28. With such allocation under Flexi Pool, this target seems to be a

farfetched possibility.

To achieve the MDG and NRHM Goals, the RCH

programme is being implemented with flexible

programming approach by allowing the states to

develop need based annual plans known as State

Programme Implementation Plan. The RCH

programme PIPs of all the 35States/UTs for the year

2012-13 have been appraised and approved by the

National Programme Coordination Committee

(NPCC) for a total amount of Rs.8314.14 Crores

(including supplementary PIPs).

‘Manufacture of Sera & Vaccine’ has observed a drastic decrease of 20.98 per cent against

the previous year’s allocations.

‘Kalawati Saran Children’s Hospital’ received a total allocation of Rs.67 Crore in the Union

Budget 2014-15.

“Procurement of Supplies and Materials” is a new programme featuring in the Statement 22

this year with a total allocation of Rs.50 Crore.

Child Development

With a minimal increase child

development received a total

allocation of Rs. 18940.72 Crore in

the Union Budget 2014-15.

The much talked about flagship

scheme for child development,

Integrated Child Development

Scheme (ICDS) received the

maximum share of allocations.

The total allocation for ICDS in 2014-

15 Union Budget has been

earmarked as a total sum of Rs. 18195 Crore, which is a 2.80 per cent increase with respect

to the previous year’s allocation.

As per 12th Five Year Plan, a proposal for strengthening and restructuring of the ICDS scheme

with an overall budget allocation of Rs. 123580 Crore has been approved2. The ICDS in

mission mode has taken the plan outlays and also mentioned the year-wise break up for

ICDS, which proposes a need of Rs.26533 Crore in 2014-15 for proper implementation of the

scheme. Given the current allocation for ICDS in 2014-15, it yields a shortfall of Rs.8338

Crore. How the new government, which has been talking of welfare and inclusion, will

implement an umbrella scheme like ICDS with such heavy shortfall?

As per the ICDS Mission document, there is a clear mention of constructing 20000 Anganwadi

Centres (AWCs) in year III, which is 2014-15 and the cost of construction of one Anganwadi

Centre has been kept as Rs. 4.5 lakh3. The allocated sum of Rs. 18195 Crore is insufficient to

construct the required AWCs. Apart from the construction, there are other needs also, which

need to be addressed such as Honorarium to Anganwadis, rent of AWCs etc.

‘Rajiv Gandhi National Creche Scheme’ received increased allocations with a total

allocation of Rs. 125 Crore, which is a 13.64 per cent increase against the last year.

In the current budget, National Nutrition Mission saw no change in allocation as it

remained as Rs. 300 Crore this year. This has to be seen against the fact that half of the

children in country are chronically malnourished and around 43 per cent of children under

5 years are under weight for their age4.

Education

In the Union Budget 2014-15, child

education received a total sum of Rs.

58544.42 Crore, which is an increase of

5.29 per cent against previous year’s

allocation.

The allocations for ‘Sarva Shiksha

Abhiyaan’ (SSA) was increased by only

1.83 per cent (from Rs. 27258 Crore in

2013-14 to Rs. 27758 Crore in 2014-15).

The allocations for ‘Mid Day Meal Scheme’ observed no change in the allocations with

a total allocation (Rs 13215 Crore). However, in 2013-14, only Rs. 10927 Crore was

finally released towards the scheme.

This highlights the gap between allocations and release which ultimately will hamper the

implementation of the scheme (see table below).

‘Rashtriya Madhyamik Shiksha Abhiyan’ (RMSA) received a substantial increase 25.53 per

cent in 2014-15 (Rs. 5000 Crore in 2014-15 from Rs. 3983 Crore in 2013-14).

‘Vocationalisation of Education’ has witnessed a constant cutting down over the years

and this year, there is no allocation towards this scheme. However, the Finance Minister

in his speech did mention about launching a new scheme called ‘Skill India’, which finds no

mention in Statement 22.

‘Pre and Post Matric Scholarship for Minorities’ have seen a welcome increased

allocations with 15.79 per cent and 9.12 per cent increase respectively.

On the other hand, the allocations for ‘Post Matric Scholarship for SC’ have remained

unchanged against last year with a total allocation of Rs. 147 Crore in 2014-15.

This year, ‘Free Bicycle to girl students’ has been discontinued and henceforth no

allocation has been made towards this scheme.

‘Girls hostel for SC’ and ‘Boys Hostel for SC’ have same allocations as last year with a total

allocation of Rs. 4.90 Crore and Rs. 2.45 Crore respectively .

This year, a new scheme called ‘Umbrella Scheme for Education of ST Children’ has been

introduced with an earmarked budget of Rs.1019.20 Crore at BE stage.

Child Protection

There is a welcome increase of 13.76

per cent towards the allocation for

child protection with allocations going

from Rs. 556.28 Crore in 2013-14 to Rs.

632.84 Crore in 2014-15. However this

still translates into a very small increase

in the share of protection both within

the total budget as well as within total

BfC.

The major allocation under this head has

been made towards the flagship scheme

‘Integrated Child Protection Scheme (ICPS)’. There is welcome 33.33 per cent increase in

the allocation for ICPS (Rs. 400 Crore in 2014-15 and Rs. 300 Crore in 2013-14). However

the adequacy of this increase needs to be meansured agaisnt the shortfall in infrastructure

and human resorices available for implemeting this scheme and addressing the needs of

vulnerable children.

India still has a large number of working children. And yet, the only national scheme for

addressing child labour ‘Improvement in working Condition of Child Labor/Women labor’

witnessed a decrease of 12.5 per cent at allocation stage. This year a total sum of Rs. 175

Crore has been allocated towards this scheme. Such dip cannot be justified in the light of

the fact that abour 49.84 lakh children are still engaged in exploitative occupations5.

‘Scheme for Welfare of Working Children in Need of Care and Protection’ observed no

change in the allocations against last year’s allocation with the total allocation of Rs. 10

Crore in 2014-15 budget.

‘National Commission for Protection of Children’ (NCPCR) witnessed a welcome increase

of 15.38 per cent against previous year’s allocations. A total sum of Rs.15 Crore has been

diverted towards NCPCR, which was Rs. 13 Crore in previous year’s budget.

Conclusion

Clearly, the NAMO Budget has failed to address the children on this country. Given that this is

the first budget of the new government this is very disappointing. Let us not forget that the

children of today are the adults of tomorrow and what we invest in them today will be what the

adult nation will be.
