<p style="text-align:justify"><em>Major budgetary allocation cuts in crucial schemes for women, children and vulnerable sections are indicative of the government&rsquo;s lopsided priorities.</em></p>
<p style="text-align:justify">Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman&rsquo;s budget has helped reinforce one home truth -- that India is divided into the salaried section and a vast underbelly, including the middle class who have been edged into poverty due to job losses suffered during the COVID pandemic.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify">Coming out of the pandemic&rsquo;s &lsquo;third wave&rsquo;, issues of employment, health, education, women and children should have been the primary focus for the Finance Minister. Sadly, the Union Budget has seen the government ride roughshod over the poor and vulnerable sections, with social sectors witnessing major budgetary cuts.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify">The Right to Food Campaign, in its most recent survey across 6,000 households living in 12 states, conducted between December 2021 and January 7 2022, found the majority of families admitting they did not have to skip a meal because the free grain provided them a cushion.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify">Alleviation of hunger should be the first priority of any government. But what we are witnessing is a major cut in food subsidies.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify">Two years ago, we saw the government providing food subsidies under the National Food Security Act were Rs 2,10,929 &nbsp;crore in 2020-21, these are now down to Rs 1,45,920 crore in 2022-23.</p>

Major budgetary allocation cuts in crucial schemes for women, children and vulnerable sections are indicative of the government’s lopsided priorities.
Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman’s budget has helped reinforce one home truth -- that India is divided into the salaried section and a vast underbelly, including the middle class who have been edged into poverty due to job losses suffered during the COVID pandemic.
Coming out of the pandemic’s ‘third wave’, issues of employment, health, education, women and children should have been the primary focus for the Finance Minister. Sadly, the Union Budget has seen the government ride roughshod over the poor and vulnerable sections, with social sectors witnessing major budgetary cuts.
The Right to Food Campaign, in its most recent survey across 6,000 households living in 12 states, conducted between December 2021 and January 7 2022, found the majority of families admitting they did not have to skip a meal because the free grain provided them a cushion.
Alleviation of hunger should be the first priority of any government. But what we are witnessing is a major cut in food subsidies.
Two years ago, we saw the government providing food subsidies under the National Food Security Act were Rs 2,10,929 crore in 2020-21, these are now down to Rs 1,45,920 crore in 2022-23.
