Major welfare schemes have faced cuts and deductions, it says.

Instead of taking bold steps to counter rising hunger following the national lockdown last year, the Union Budget has responded by introducing “cuts and deductions” and “abdicating its responsibility in ensuring social security,” the Right to Food Campaign said on Wednesday.

According to an analysis, the allocations for important food and nutrition programmes such as the POSHAN (or ICDS scheme) and the mid-day meal programme are nearly 40% less than what they were in 2014-15, when the NDA government came to power.

Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman announced in her Budget speech the launch of POSHAN 2.0, under which the government’s Poshan Abhiyan would be merged with the Supplementary Nutrition Programme (as part of which nutrition is distributed at anganwadis). Four schemes have been grouped together under the Saksham Anganwadi and POSHAN 2.0. While the four schemes were altogether allocated 24,557 crore last year, this year’s allocation has been slashed to 20,105 crore.
