Achieving gender equality is a complex process and government policies play a vital role in it. Gender gaps across the country have been worsened by cultural and societal norms and most recently by the pandemic. One of the ways to ensure equality in public expenditure is to employ Gender Responsive budgeting from the formulation stage itself. The status of the gender-responsive budget is a major cause of concern particularly from the Dalit perspective. It is unclear, vague and unjust considering that the Dalits are the most vulnerable community and are marginalized in the majority of the socio-economic and educational sectors. Producing a gender budget statement is the mechanism adopted by the Indian government, however, the status of Dalit women remains the same with almost negligible allocation for them in FY2023-24 too.
