[IAC#RG] Fwd: Pre Budget Article by HAQ: Centre for Child Rights


Dear All

Greetings!

The Union Budget for 2015-16 will be presented on February 28th, 2015. 

HAQ: Centre for Child Rights has been undertaking analysis of budgetary allocations for children every year. This year, as we at HAQ, get ready to critically analyse the Union budget again we have prepared an article and highlighted the key points from a child rights perspective. 

The government has already highlighted its priority areas for the budget and has talked about significant tax reforms, smart cities, skill development, women’s security, budget for the social sector, among other things. But this time they will be expected to be more cautious in their planning as the “Aam Aadmi” can no longer be ignored!

Among the “Aam Aadmi” is the “Aam Bachha”, whose needs require special attention since budget analysis undertaken by HAQ: Centre for Child Rights and other groups working towards strengthening governance and accountability have shown how children’s rights have remained on the periphery, while they constitute 40% of the country’s population.

You can read the article titled 'POLITICS, PAISA OR PRIORITIES: WHERE WOULD CHILDREN FIT INTO THE 2015-16 UNION BUDGET?' on our website. Please click on http://www.haqcrc.org/blogs/politics-paisa-or-priorities to access the article.

I do hope that you will find the information useful. Your comments and suggestions will be appreciated.


Regards

Anisha Ghosh
