Child Budgeting in Madhya Pradesh (India)  (English, Paperback, Saifullah Khan)

A budget is much more than the statement of government‘s expenditure and receipt for the fiscal year. In modern economies, budget is the key instrument for the execution of government policies as the priorities and commitments get reflected in the allocations made and the expenditure incurred in various fields. Keeping in mind the importance of government expenditure we combined it with an other important word that is "Child". Children (0-18 age group) are over two-fifths of the population and hence a vital constituent. Child budgeting makes budgetary decisions affecting children more visible and transparent and makes government more accountable. It helps decision-makers to be aware of the impact of their policies on children and young people.
