Women voters are seen as a key constituency for the BJP-led National Democratic Alliance

More money for women in budget amid pre-poll focus

The women and child welfare ministry may get a 3%-hike in the interim budget to Rs 26,212 crore, according to two officials aware of the matter, amid a focus on women ahead of general elections.

This outlay is expected to be earmarked for expanding marquee schemes such as Beti Bachao Beti Padhao, Saksham Anganwadi and self-help groups (SHG). Women voters are seen as a key constituency for the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP)-led National Democratic Alliance (NDA) as it aims a third term in office.

In 2023-24, the Mission Poshanaimed at improving child and mother nutrition was allocated 20,554 crore and the ministry expects that it may rise up to 21,170 crore. In 2023-24, the WCD ministry was allocated ₹25,449 crore, an increase of 6% over revised estimates of 2022-23 (₹23,913 crore).
