Gender Budget 2023-24: Will it encourage women-led development in India?

In 2005-06, the Indian government introduced a gender budget that is divided into two parts (Part A and Part B).

It comprises various women-specific schemes with 100% allocation toward women-led development only.


In Part B at least 30% of the allocation should be made toward women empowerment.

The gender budget has not increased since its launch, and stands at 4.3% of the total expenditure of the budget in 2022-23.


Women can expect the government to increase the percentage of total expenditure made towards women-led schemes, as well as an increase in the number of such schemes.


Other changes required for better women empowerment include increased financial inclusion, reservation in startup participation in MSME sectors, and proper allocation of funds across all fields.


To provide equal opportunities to women, proper allocating of funds across various work fields is essential.
