udget is an important economic instrument in progress and development. Budget reflects the socio-economic priorities Bof the government. There are many such expenses in the budget, which have a direct impact on children more than adults. Like a health center and school which are primary but fundamental requirements for any child's development. Our children, who are the future of our family, state, nation and the world, are leading the deprived life. Basic services are out of reach and also facing the problems such as malnutrition, inadequate health, and lack of education facilities, clean drinking water and sanitation. If we evaluate the status of Madhya Pradesh state's children from the perspective of various Human Development Indices, the picture is quite worrisome, especially for a state where nearly half (46.86%)* of the total population is children, the financial resources and its distribution becomes very important.
