A few highlights (1/n)
We massively under budget and also underspend.
Building on work done by @PMenonIFPRI & team- to budget for every eligible person would need Rs 42,033 Cr for SNP in 21-22. Actual approved budgets (including state shares) were Rs 17,392 Cr or 41% of this.

In 2017, Govt had committed to annually increase per person costs under SNP based on inflation. Unfortunately that hasn’t been done. Accounting for it total requirements increase to Rs 50,414 cr!

Meanwhile, there isn’t any clarity yet on the merged “new scheme” announced last year called Saksham Anganwadi and POSHAN 2.0. Objectives are still being finalised.

Hoping #Budget2022 gives clarity on this and gives India’s women and children the focus they deserve.
