This initiative is a part of the government's broader commitment to promoting gender equality and ensuring that public policies and financial allocations are inclusive and responsive to the needs of women and gender-diverse individuals.

Gender budgeting is the process of incorporating a gender perspective into all stages of budget planning, implementation, and evaluation. It does not involve creating separate budgets for women, but rather aims to ensure that both men and women benefit equitably from government schemes and public expenditure. By analyzing the impact of budgetary allocations on different genders, gender budgeting helps in designing policies that are more inclusive, effective, and fair.
