Allocation in some years was higher than the national commissions for SCs, STs, safai karmacharis and denotified tribes

New Delhi:
The ministry of AYUSH has spent Rs 114 crore celebrating the International Day of Yoga between 2015 and 2020, an RTI reply has revealed.

In its reply, the ministry informed this website that it spent Rs 16.39 crore in 2015, Rs 18.03 crore in 2016, Rs 26.42 crore in 2017, Rs 36.80 crore in 2018 and Rs 16.44 crore so far in 2019.

The total of Rs 114 crore may not seem like a large amount spent by the government over a period of five years, but when spending focused on one day of a year is compared to allocations for certain schemes and national commissions, the figures may indicate misplaced priorities.

For instance, under the Unnat Bharat Abhiyan of the human resource development ministry, the IIT faculty and its research scholars are funded to devise eco-friendly technologies for rural problems. The need for the mission arose to address the urban-rural iniquity. But if funding is any indication of importance, the money allocated to the scheme presents a less than flattering picture. For the current year, the scheme has been allocated Rs 32.40 crore, a few crores more than this year’s yoga budget of Rs 26 crore under the AYUSH ministry. In 2018, when the scheme got Rs 22.40 crore, the Yoga Day allocation was Rs 36.80 crore.

The money allocated in total for the four national commissions - for Scheduled Castes, Scheduled Tribes, safai karmacharis and denotified tribes - was Rs 25 crore in 2017. In 2018, the commissions' allocation was Rs 33.72 crore. The money spent in celebration of Yoga Day for these two years was Rs 26.42 crore and Rs 36.80 crore, respectively.

The RTI query sought details of funds spent separately on publicity and hiring of venue space, but the ministry gave details of the annual overall funds spent.
