INTRODUCTION
It is a well recognizing fact that the budget of any state
government cannot merely be a statement of the account of
that government, rather a platform signaling the government’s
vision and future policy priorities. Therefore, it was felt
worthwhile undertaking the state budget analysis in order to
trace the underlying budgetary provisions and policy priorities
of the state government especially towards the most
disadvantaged section of our society, that is, children. M V
Foundation, as part of its collaborative partnership with
HAQ:Centre for Child Rights, New Delhi, has been undertaking a
quick response to the Andhra Pradesh State Budget since the
year 2002 to find out trends in resource allocation on child
specific programme designed to ensure child rights
commitments. As part of the advocacy towards policy changes
the budget updates have been widely circulated within fifteen
days of the release of state budget every year among different
walk of the people, institutes, civil society organizations, media
as well as among the Members of Parliament, Party leaders
across all party line. Thanks to the political leaders who have
shown interest in our initiatives so far; owned up the issue to
help us to hold the government accountable for non-
performance vis-à-vis child rights and urging the policy makers
for improvement in expenditure decisions.
Focusing primarily on the policy efforts by the govt. through
introduction of new schemes and changes in the underlying
budget provisions, the present document once again seek to
analyse how far the government’s commitments towards
ensuring child rights are being reflected in budgetary outlays
proposed/expenditures. It is hoped that this Quick Analysis of
AP State Budget would come in handy as a ready-reckon and
guide for the common people as well as civil societies to carry
out further advocacy towards influencing government
policies/programmes and improvement in expenditure
decisions.
In a situation of the unexpected occurrences witnessed by the
State such as, rising food prices1
and the on-going political turmoil over Telengana issue, the challenge
for the government was to tactfully deal with the adverse situation without impeding the welfare of the
state’s population, especially the disadvantaged like children. Amidst ruckus went on during the
assembly budget session over Telangana issue, the State Budget for the year 2011-12 has been
presented to the AP State Legislature on 23rd February 2011, by Mr. Anam Ramanarayana Reddy, the
Honorable Minister for Finance.

The food inflation touched 18.32 per cent in December, 2010 and still hovering above 11 percent this month impacting the
common population as well as the growth momentum of state economy
Children in Andhra Pradesh: Where do
they stand?
 Estimated Child population (6-15 years) in AP
stands at 1.5 crore in 2010 constituting about
41% of total state population.
 Gender gap is prevalent with male literacy rate
at 71% compared to 51% amongst females
 Of every 100 children who enrolled in school,
53 percent drop out before finishing class X
 54 of every 1000 live births die before
completing one year of age
 79% children in 6-35 months are anemic and
35% under 5 are moderately to severely under-
nourished.
 Of every 100 school children under age 3 in the
state, 37 continues to be underweight and 54
suffer from malnutrition.
 54 lakh children are in the age group of 0-6
years of which 16 lakh are still to be covered
under Supplementary Nutrition Programme of
ICDS.
 According to a report of the State Advisory
Board on Child Labour, the state has about 9
lakh child labourers as of 2007
 Early marriage and early motherhood
continues; 54.7% women of the state get
married below 18 years of age.
 7.3% and 6% of different crimes committed
against children in India in 2006 and 2008 were
from Andhra Pradesh- undoubtedly many more
go unreported.

As evident from our past analysis, the State Budgets
every year do not pay adequate attention towards
welfare schemes and programmes that benefits
directly or indirectly the special section of the society,
that is, children, neither there is any significant
increase in overall social sector allocation as
proportion to GSDP (refer table 1) during 2004-05 to
2009-102
. This has to be seen in a situation where most
of the outcome indicators towards development of
children are showing unremitting deficits.
State’s overall public spending on education and health (as a proportion of the Gross State Domestic
Product) has been abysmally low over the years, thus nowhere near the promised 6% and 3%
respectively3
. The average public spending on education4 and health5 continues to be as low as less
than 2.29 percent and 0.75 percent respectively during 2006-07 to 2009-10.

Budget for Children (BfC) 2011-12: At a Glance
 In 2011-12, “Budget for Children” gets 19.29 percent of total State Budget (a bit higher than last year’s 17.26
percent). AP State Budget on the other hand increased by `14881.61 crore (that is, 13.09%) from 2010-11 (BE).
 Skewed sectoral prioritization against the most important child health and child protection sectors poses greater
concern. Of the 19.29 percent embarked for children in current budget, only 0.25 percent and 0.13 percent were
meant for child health and child protection respectively whereas 15.63 percent and 3.28 percent were meant for
Education and Development sectors respectively.
 All new interventions proposed and increased allocation in existing schemes are pertaining mostly to education
whereas outlays for existing schemes especially in the two most important Development and Protection sectors
are not stepped up to requirements.
 There is welcome increase in total allocation on ‘Child Health’ by more than 147 percent over previous year’s
budget (from `120.1 crore in BE 2010-11 to `316.5 crore in BE 2011-12).
 In the backdrop of huge deficit persisting in outcome indicators towards development of children
,“Development” sector receives reduced allocation by `408.73 crore from last year’s budget with its share in
total state budget decreased to 3.28 percent from last year’s 4.07 percent.
 Despite large number of children in the state requiring care and protection, the “Protection sector”, alike every
year receives least priority from the govt. in current budget with meager increase in allocation by only `3 crore
 Most dismaying, allocated money for child-related schemes/programmes kept unspent over the year, especially
in the most important sectors, viz.Health & Protection, where, an average of 29.1 percent and 25.1 percent of
budgeted resources remained unspent during 2006-07 to 2009-10.

Priority for children shows an inconsequential increase in the State Budget 2011-12. In the backdrop of
persistent deficits in outcome indicators in almost all child specific sectors, it is disconcerting to note
that the magnitude of “Budget for Children” (that is, aggregate outlays for child specific
schemes/programme across sectors-Education, Health, Development and Protection) as a proportion to
total State Budget has increased only marginally from 17.24 percent in 2010-11 (BE) to 19.29 percent in
2011-12 (BE). In addition, despite continuous growth in the share of ‘budget for children’ in total state
budget, the magnitude of overall growth, as evident from the graph, is by only 6.05 percent over last
five years (from 13.24 percent in 2007-08 BE to 19.29 percent in 2011-12 BE). Considering that children
in the state (that is, all person upto the age of 18) constitutes 41 percent of total state’s population this
meager increase is pitiable.
The child specific sectoral
prioritization within state
budget, as was the case in
every state budget, (refer
Table 2) continues to be
distorted against child health
and child protection. Even in
the State Budget 2011-12,
according to the calculation
by M V Foundation, out of
the total outlay of `24795.93
Crore embarked for children, 15.63 percent was meant for education, 3.28 percent for development
whereas the two most important sectors showing continual deficits every year that is, child health and
child protection sectors receive only 0.25 percent and 0.13 percent respectively. Sectoral share within
‘Budget for Children’, that is, the total outlays embarked for children, reiterate the same story over the
last five years, as depicted in Table 2. Of the 19.29% of total state budget provided for children in 2011-
12, Child Health and Child protection are met with the same fate with least share in total budget for
children (1.28 percent and 0.68 percent respectively), whereas Education is given highest priority (81.01
percent) followed by development (17.03 percent). (refer Table 2)

translate into better development outcomes if the funds are not spent in a timely manner. Under-

spending of allocated funds in important schemes intended for children has been the major area of
concern every year. This is mainly due to impractical unit costs, inefficient planning/budgeting processes
and flaws in the program/scheme designs. As per our calculation, on an average of 21.55 percent of
allocated fund for all four child sectors remained unspent during 2006-07 to 2009-10. (Refer Table 3)

EDUCATION
In recent years, there has been an enormous
increase in enrolment of children in primary
schools and providing access to a
government school to every habitation in the
state.6
However, in the process of realizing
the goals of “Education for All”, the
stagnating or declining quality of education
has become an equally important issue in a
state like Andhra Pradesh. The questions
6
According to Government’s own estimates, among the 72,154 habitations, regular primary schools have been established in
71,326 habitations by 2009, or almost 99 per cent. Enrolment of children in upper primary and high schools altogether has
increased steadily from 54 lakh to 58 lakh in last five years. Retention rates of children at primary and upper-primary stages in
this period have increased by 16 percent and 27 percent respectively.
 More than 52% school in the State lack pucca building
 39% of the schools lack common toilet facilities and 53%
schools lack separate toilet for girls.
 47% school lack boundary wall and 69% lack kitchen sheds
 25444 schools running with only 1 classroom
 7.34% of total schools run with only one Teacher
 CAG mentions a shortage of 54,730 teachers in primary
and upper primary schools
- Flash statistics, 2009, CAG report 2006
 In 2011-12, “Education” gets a share of 15.63% in total State Budget (a jump from 12.93% of budget 2010-11)
and 81% of the share of BfC (an increase from 74.9% from last year).
 In absolute terms, education budget got a big jump of `5389.9 crore in current budget whereas the total state
budget has increased by `14881.6 crore from last year.
 New allocations are visible under “Strengthening of Elementary Education under Finance Commission Grant”,
“ICT in 4031 schools”, “Computer Education Programme(CEP) under Information & Communication
Technology(Intermediate level)”, “Providing Lab equipments to new Governmnet Junior College(Intermediate
level)”, “Construction of Restrooms for girls in High Schools”,
 Schemes showing considerable stepping up in the outlays in Budget 2011-12 include, “SSA”, “Mid day Meal”,
“Rashtriya Madhyamik Shiksha Abhiyan (RMSA)”, “KGBV”, “Information @ Communication Technology(ICT)”,
“SCERT”, “Setting up of New Polytechnics” etc.
 Reduction in allocations is visible under “Providing Basic Amenities to all schools in the State”, “NEPGEL”,
“Construction of Buildings for Kitchen-cum-store room”, “Operation Black Board Scheme”, “Scholarships”,
“Secondary education strengthening Programme”.

remain are whether building schools in every habitation or enrolling children in schools are sufficient to
get desired outcome such as achieving universal elementary education with quality improvement?
Increased access, enrolment, retention are by no means a complete picture and lacunas still persist.
Here lies the importance of resource allocations that has to be spent effectively and efficiently to ensure
improvement in outcomes. Overall public spending on education (that is, total expenditure by the
School, Higher, Technical Education Departments and expenditure under education schemes from other
departments) in the state continues to be as low as 2.13 percent of GSDP as of 2009-2010.
Key Issues :
 Like every year, education sector once again receives the maximum quantum of the increased
allocation embarked for children in budget 2011-12. As calculated, the allocation for education
has increased from `14698.08 crore in 2010-11 (BE) to `20087.95 crore in 2011-12 (BE), which is
about 36.67 percent increase from last year. However, within the total State Budget, the overall
outlays for education schemes/programme receives only 15.63 percent (Refer graph below),
which is the highest among other sector, yet insufficient considering huge resource need to fill
up the gaps pertaining to education sector in the state. Our closer scrutiny tells that the share of
education sector in total state budget has shown a meager increase of only 4.58 percent over
last five years. (Refer Table 4)
 The two national flagship schemes for
Universalisation of Elementary Education such as
NEPGEL, KGBV were intended to focus on girls
especially from the disadvantaged sections like
those belonging to SC/ST, minorities etc.
Whereas KGBV shows a welcome increase of
`61.75 crore in the budget 2011-12, the other
scheme, NEPGEL got reduced allocation by `4.78
crore (23 percent) from last year. Government’s
claim of reaching the number of beneficiaries and
the overall implementing status under NEPGEL therefore looks vague with this reduced outlay.
 With Govt. pondering over the possibility to implement RTE act through the central flagship
programme, SSA (by revamping its expenditure norms), the increase in allocation for SSA by
more than 85 percent (from `350 crore in 2010-11 to `650 crore in 2011-12) is a welcome move
considering the additional costs required for additional schools, improved infrastructure,

recruiting teachers etc. However, it is still uncertain how far the increased allocation would
address the gaps prevailing given the trend of fund utilization has been largely on Civil Works
and salaries of contract teachers and that the most under spending of resources took place on
Teachers’ Training and Intervention for Out-of School Children (EGS/AIE) etc7
.
 “In tune with the primary focus of the Government, Welfare sector has received our greatest
attention…the Government is sanctioning scholarships to all eligible scheduled caste students…”-
says the Finance Minister. Scholarship programmes by school education department
experienced reduced allocations by 19 percent over the previous budget from `2.58 crore to
`2.08 crore. “Scholarship for handicapped studying IX and above classes” by WCD department
and “Upgradation of Merit Students of Yanadi” by Tribal Welfare Department do not find any
mention in current budget. Allocation for Pre metric scholarship for tribal and backward classes
remained the same as last year. However, there is reason to cheer as well.
o Post Matriculation Scholarship: `342 crore for Scheduled Caste; `79 crore for tribals; `474
crore for backward classes.
o Reimbursement of Tuition Fees: `534 crore for eligible SCs; `118 crore for eligible tribals;
`1075 crore for eligible BC students.
 In the backdrop of poor implementation of the national
Mid Day Meal scheme, as pointed out by the CAG8
,
allocation under “Nutrition Meals Programme for
Primary and Upper-primary School” increased only
marginally by `8.97 crore (about 1.95%) in budget 2011-
12. There is a welcome increase in the proposed outlays
under “Nutrition Meals Programme for High School”
from `145 crore in 2010-11 (BE) to `643 crore in 2011-12 (BE). However, the utilization pattern
still remains the major area of concern. As calculated, about 60% the amount allocated for MDM
in primary/upper-primary and 20% of the allocated fund for MDM in high school remained
unspent in 2009-2010. Despite 69% of the state’s school lacking kitchen shed, 90 percent of
allocated fund towards “Construction of Buildings for Kitchen-cum-store room” kept unspent.
 Most dismaying, the quality of school education has been stagnant and declining over the years
which is reflected in the poor learning achievements of children at elementary stage, as
assessed and released in the ASER report by Pratham9
. Realizing teachers’ training as one of the
most important factors for ensuring quality of school education, the state is implementing
various training programmes for key resource persons under SCERT and DIET at state and
district levels respectively. Whereas there is a welcome increase in outlays under SCERT by 41%
over previous budget (from `3.80 crore in budget 2010-11 to `5.38 crore in budget 2011-12),
the outlays for DIET remained just same as last year. Moreover, “Training programme for Sec.
schools Math & Physical Science teacher” and “Training of Teachers for English Medium High
Schools” do not find any mention in current budget.
7
According to a study conducted by M V Foundation in collaboration with HAQ:Centre for Child Rights on SSA implementation
8
CAG observed that only 59 percent of total budget provision for MDM implementation was spend during 2003-2008 and
about 95 percent of the fund released by GOI towards construction of kitchen sheds remained unspent as of 2009
9
ASER 2007 reported that 6.3 percent of children in I to VII classes in rural Andhra can not read any letter/word in their own
language; 4.6% can not recognize any number and 29.3% can not recognize numbers beyond 1-9.
A total number of 84.90 lakh children
(45.47 lakh in primary, 24.97 lakh in
upper primary, 14.21 lakh in high school,
0.25 lakh in NCLP project) have been
covered under MDM scheme in 2010
- AP Socio Economic Survey 2010-11

 Rashtriya Madhyamik Shiksha Abhiyan (RMSA) that aimed at expanding and improving the
standards of secondary education — classes VIII to X gets a significant stepping up in the outlays
from `205 crore in 2010-11 (BE) to `500 crore in 2011-12 (BE). However, considering the
initiative by central government as a welcome move towards improving secondary education in
the country, we can only hope that this scheme will not end up as being run like SSA.
 There is a huge hike by `155.59 crore over previous year’s budget for “Information &
Communication Technology (ICT) in 2000 school”, a centrally sponsored scheme with fund
sharing of 75:25 under secondary education. “Computerization of school education” received a
welcome hike of 85 percent over previous budget (from `40.19 crore to `74.28 crore).
 The State Government is giving utmost priority to the education of the minorities….says the
Finance Minister. However, govt’s repeated commitment towards advancement and upliftment
of Minorities in the state, the minority-focused scheme such as “Area Intensive Programme for
Educationally Backward Minorities”, “Modernisation of Madarasa Education”, “Improvement of
Urdu Education” receives same allocation as last year.
 Unspent resources over major education schemes: Under utilisation of funds measured by the
gaps in the budgeted resources and actual expenditure has been increased in education sector
over the years (refer Table 5). The average unspent resources during 2006-07 to 2009-10 stand
at 19.36 percent posing greater threat. Most dismaying, the major under spending of resources
are found in important education schemes such as MDM, Area Intensive Programme for
Educationally Backward Minorities, Modernization of Madarasa, SCERT, Provision of Incentives
for Enhancement of SCs/STs Girl Child enroll in High Schools etc.

 In 2011-12, “Child Health” receives 0.25 percent of total State Budget(an increase from 0.11% from last year)
and 1.28% of the share of BfC (an increase from 0.65% from last year).
 Child Health schemes/programme receive big jump in allocation of `316.54 crore against much lesser
allocations of `127.93 crore in BE 2010-11. Share of child health schemes in MH&FW Department gets a jump
of 6.28 percent this year against 2.98 percent of last year.
 New Scheme: State’s matching share of `158.61 crore is provided under “National Rural Health Mission”.
 No allocation in schemes such as “ANM Training schools run by local bodies and Voluntary organizations”,
“Assistance to Children Suffering from Heart Diseases” and “Sukhibhava” .
 Considerable stepping up of allocation in schemes such as, “RCH Programme”, Training of Auxilliary Nurses,
Midwives, Dayas and Lady Health Visitors”, “Maternity and Child Health” and “Medical Inspection on Schools”.

The food-price inflation consistently being in
double digits since last one year and reaching as
high as 20% over the last few months is a major
area of concern now. Moreover, the hike in duties
on crude oil, petrol would lead to even more
inflation of food articles pointing towards more
food deprivation and malnutrition among poor,
thus in the long run aggravating the cases of child
malnutrition/anemia and calorie inadequacy
among children, adolescents and women.
With just one year left for the Eleventh Five Year Plan to end, it is disconcerting to notice that the
government’s spending on Public Health (that is, total expenditure by Ministry of Health, Medical &
Family Welfare) still stands at the meager level of 0.70 percent of total GSDP as of 2009-10, which is far
short of the NCMP promise to raise the level to 2-3 percent.
Key Issues :
 Despite the continual food price inflation since last one year, it is calculated that the State govt’s
budget outlays for Health, Medical and Family Welfare (that is, the Ministry of Health, Medical
and Family welfare) as a percentage of total State Budget has increased only marginally from
3.78 per cent in 2010-2011 (BE) to 3.92 percent in 2011-2012 (BE). Child Health sector has been
neglected with least resource allocations among other child sectors and less perceptible average
annual growth of 2.15 percent over the years 2005-06 to 2010-11. However the cheering factor
is a jump in allocation in child health schemes in Budget 2011-12 to `316.54 crore against much
lesser allocations of `127.93 crore in BE 2010-11 (which is more than 147% increase).
Our calculation tells that in State
Budget 2011-12, the allocations
on scheme/programme that have
direct or indirect bearings on
children’s health received 0.25
percent of the total State
allocations as against the only
0.11 percent in BE 2010-11.
However, analyzing last five year’s
data, it can be observed that this
share is slightly higher than the
share (0.18 percent) in 2007-08.
The allocation on child health
receives only 1.28 percent of the
total allocation embarked for
children (BfC, comprising all four sectors) in Budget 2011-12, thus far below than the share
(1.37 percent) of 2007-08. (Refer Table 6)
 35% children under 5 are moderately to severely
undernourished
 Of every 100 pre-school children, 54 suffer from
malnutrition
 Childhood anaemia is on the rise (from 72% to
79% between NFHS II and NFHS III)
 Calorie inadequacy among pre-school children
to adolescents account for 13-47%

 It is disconcerting to note the inconsequential stepping up of allocation in important health
schemes pertaining to children. Schemes such as “ANM Training schools run by local bodies and
Voluntary organizations”, “Assistance to Children Suffering from Heart Diseases” and
“Sukhibhava” do not receive any allocation this year. Allocation for the scheme “Manufacture of
Sera and Vaccine” got reduced by `3.75 crore.
 Providing State’s matching share of `158.61crore in current budget under National Rural
Health Mission is definitely a welcome move. Yet, considering the huge infrastructural gaps,
shortfall in health service delivery centres, lack of human resources, deficient health services
provided under NRHM, as noted by the CAG report, this allocation seems too little
 CAG 2009 mentions that ‘RCH programme suffered from deficiencies in the areas of institutional
delivery care, antenatal care, 24x7 delivery services and Medical Termination of Pregnancy’. In
this situation, increase in allocation in current budget on RCH programme by 60.24 percent is a
welcome move. Also there is welcome increase in outlays in schemes such as, “Training of
Auxilliary Nurses, Midwives, Dayas and Lady Health Visitors”, “Maternity and Child Health” and
“Medical Inspection on Schools” by 86.5 percent, 37.4 percent and 20.9 percent respectively.
National Rural Health Mission (NRHM)
 The whole mission, since its launch in 2005 is running in the state without conduction of any facility surveys or
preparation of perspective plans by the State & District Health Societies (SHS, DHS). Also there is no evaluation by the
state of prevalent rate of IMR, MMR, TFR after launching NRHM, neither any inspection of PHC/CHC by the by District
Medical & Health Officers. In its appraisal of NRHM, the CAG pointed out the major implementation bottlenecks of
the scheme that includes huge infrastructure gaps, lack of essential equipments, staff vacancies, deficient financial
management, lack of adequate monitoring mechanism and many more.
 There is a shortfall of 387 CHCs and 464 PHCs in rural areas and no new health centre established since 2005.
 Infrastructure at existing health centres far below the desired level envisaged in Indian Public Health Standards.
 There is mismatch between the figures of releases by GoI and those received and shown by state Health
Society.
 21 to 29 percent of available funds remained unutilised every year during 2005-09
 Out of 93 Mobile Medical Units (MMUs) launched in 2005, 43 closed due to lack of equipments/Medical Officers

 Under utilisation – An area
of Concern: Under utilization
of allocated fund as depicted
from the mismatch between
the budget estimates (BE)
and actual expenditure (AE)
data, has been a area of
concern every year despite
the poor health service
delivery in the state. On an
average, 29.1 percent of total
fund allocated for
schemes/programme pertaining to child health remained unspent during 2006-07 to 2009-10
(refer graph). Important schemes such as, “Reproductive Child Health(RCH) Programme”,
“Sukhibhava”, “Employment of A.N.Ms”, “Medical Inspection on Schools” and “ANM Training
schools run by local bodies and Voluntary Organizations” experienced under-spending of outlays
by 41%, 76%, 38%, 24% and 83% respectively in the year 2009-10.
DEVELOPMENT
This sector includes early childhood care and development, pre-school education and development
schemes that do not fit into the other sectors but benefit children indirectly. Accordingly schemes
benefitting women and adolescent girls such as “Swayam Sidda”, “Kishore Shakti Yojana”, Rajiv Gandhi
scheme for empowerment of Adolescent girls (SABALA), “National Programme for Adolescent Girls”,
“Subsidy on Rice(HRD)” etc. are taken to analyse which benefit children indirectly.
Budget 2011-12 observes a decrease in share of Development sector (that is, the schemes having direct
or indirect benefit to children’s development) within ‘budget for children’ as well as ‘total state budget’.
Share of the sector in total state budget 2011-12 is 3.28 percent against the last year’s 4.07 percent.
Even within the total outlays embarked for children in Budget 2011-12, the development sector receives
17.03 percent which is far below the share of last year (23.60 percent). Although there has been a
consistent increase in the development budgets in absolute terms over last 5-6 years, the increase in
outlays set little meaning against the achievements. According to WCD department’s own estimate,
 In 2011-12, “Development” gets 3.28 % of total State Budget (a reduction from 4.07% from last year) and
17.03% of the share of BfC (a reduction from 23.60% from last year).
 Allocation for development schemes/programmes decreases by `408.73 crore in Budget 2011-12, that is a
reduction of 8.83 percent from last year’s budget.
 New Scheme: “Rajiv Gandhi scheme for empowerment of Adolescent girls (SABALA)” has been introduced
this tear in place of National Nutritional Programme for Adolescent Girls (NPAG) with allocation of `124.91
crore.
 An increase in allocation under ICDS by 3.92 crore is a welcome move, yet seems inadequate considering the
gaps still prevailing in terms of coverage and outreach; Balika Samridhi Yojana does not find any mention in
current budget.

% Under-utilization in ChildHealth Schemes

16.13 lakh children aged below 6 years have not received supplementary nutrition from the AWC
as of 2010 and still there is huge number of AWC buildings to be constructed in the state.
Once again it is observed that the
central allocation plays an
important role in development
schemes/programme. Clear from
Table 7, the influence of the
centrally sponsored schemes in
total allocation has been quite
fluctuating over the years and the
tendency towards centralization of
allocations in development
schemes reached maximum in
2007-08 where 34 percent of total
allocation in development sector
was funded by central government
in various schemes. State Budget 2011-12 observes a further increased share of central allocation in
development schemes where 23.44 percent of total allocations under development sector is funded by
central govt. This is irrespective of the decline in total outlays under Development sector from `4630.48
in budget 2010-11 to `4221.75 in budget 2011-12. A detailed look on individual schemes reveals that
central grant has increased in “Nutrition Propgramme” and the new scheme “Rajiv Gandhi scheme for
empowerment of Adolescent girls (SABALA)” launched this year with central allocation of `58.96 crore.

Key Issues :
 Development sector (that is, schemes having direct or indirect benefits to children’s
development) receives lesser attention in Budget 2011-12 with decreased allocation by 8.83
percent from last year’s budget (from `4630.48 crore in 2010-11 BE to `4221.75 in 2011-12 BE).
Allocations for “Nutrition Programme” and the other most important scheme “Kishore Shakti
Yojana” reduced by `495.61 crore and `8.37 crores respectively in BE 2011-12. The centrally
sponsored “Balika Samridhi Yojana” does not find any mention in current budget under the
Women, Child, and Disabled Welfare Department and there is no clear indication whether the
scheme got merged into any other scheme or is being closed.

 It is indeed a welcome move by the GOI to revise National Nutrition Programme for Adolescent
Girls(NPAG) introducing the new “Rajiv Gandhi scheme for empowerment of Adolescent girls
(SABALA)”10
to provide supplementary nutrition to out of school girls of 11-14 years and all girls
of 15-18 years age groups. An additional amount of `124.91 crore has been allocation in budget
2011-12 for this scheme.
 Despite commitment made in the
National Common Minimum
Programme (2004) and Supreme
Court order(2004) for
universalisation of ICDS, the
outreach has been limited and the
programmatic interventions does
not seem to have made significant
changes in outcome indicators
even after three decades of
introduction of the scheme in
Andhra Pradesh. Still, almost 79%
children in 6-35 months are found anaemic; 37% of all children under three years of age
continues to be underweight; 54 of every 1000 children die before they reach the age of one
year. Poor quality of service delivery under ICDS is evident which, according to research findings
are due to lack of proper monitoring and supervision of functioning; shortage of staff in AWCS;
unrealistic unit costs and most importantly lack of adequate fund.
State budget 2011-12 shows an
increase in allocation in ICDS
from `633.33 crore in 2010-11
(BE) to `672.50 crore in 2011-12
(BE) which is because of the
increased central grants and
state’s allocation for “Training
Programmes under ICDS”. With
the gaps still prevailing towards
universalisation of ICDS, the
meager increase in allocation by 3.91 crore (that is, 6.18%) seems inadequate.
Despite increase in outlays every year under ICDS, what poses concern is the expenditure
pattern of the scheme. As per our calculation, the government kept `61.96 crore of the
allocated fund unspent in ICDS in 2009-2010. Considering the abysmal outcome indicators for
young children in the state and gaps in the outreach, the under utilization pattern pose
greater threat.

“SABALA” is a 100% Centrally-sponsored scheme aims at empowering adolescent girls of 11-18 years by improvement in their
nutritional and health status and upgrading various skills like home skills, life skills and vocational skills. An integrated package
of services for adolescent girls is envisaged to provide i) Nutrition provision @ Rs. 5 Per beneficiary –per day for 300 days in a
year; ii) IFA supplementation ; iii) Health check-up and Referral Services; iv) Nutrition and Health Education NHE); v)
Counseling/Guidance on family welfare, ARSH, child care practices and home management. Vi) Life Skill Education and
accessing public services; vii) Vocational training for girls aged 16 and above under National Skill Development Programme
(NSDP).

16,169 AWCs out of 73,944 sanctioned are functioning in own
buildings.
 More than 16 lakh children below 6 years of age still to be
covered under SNP

 Supplementary Nutritious Programme(SNP) is an important service under ICDS that benefits
children below 6 years as well as pregnant and lactating mothers. The Govt. claims that 39.84
lakh children and 11.18 lakh mothers have been benefitted under SNP as of 2010. With the
revised unit cost for SNP (Rs. 4/- per day for children & 5/- per day for women), one can easily
calculate the required amount to cover all 39.84 lakh children and 11.18 lakh mothers to be
`645.78 crore. Against this requirement to cover SNP only, which is one of the six services under
ICDS11
, actual allocation of `672.50 crore in budget 2011-12 (BE) under ICDS seems inadequate.
How will the current outlays of ICDS be sufficient in covering other services, reaching
adolescents, maintaining existing centres, constructing pacca buildings for AWCs, reaching
more habitations and implementing the scheme with quality???
PROTECTION
In the backdrop of huge children in the state requiring special care and protection, the ‘Child Protection’
sector has been neglected over the years. The scheme/programme meant to ensure children’s rights to
be protected receives lowest allocation every year with least average annual growth as compared to
other child sectors. Budget 2011-12 is of no exception.

ICDS is the package of six services that include SNP, non-formal pre-school awareness, immunisation, health check-up,
referral services, and nutrition and health education for children (including lactating mothers).
 In 2011-12, “Child Protection” gets 0.13% of total State Budget (a reduction from 0.15% from last year) and
0.68% of the share of BfC (a reduction from 0.85% from last year).
 Allocation for “Child Protection” receives a meager increase of `3 crore in budget 2011-12, that is an increase
by 1.80 percent from last year’s budget.
 No New Scheme/Programme to ensure children’s rights to be protected even in the last year of the Eleventh
Five-Year Plan.
 No mention of separate allocation under “Integrated Child Protection Scheme”; neither increase in allocation
for schemes to be implemented under the umbrella of ICPS is satisfactory; Allocation for Services for Children
in Need of Care & Protection got reduced by `3.79 crore.
 There are welcome increases in schemes such as “Juvenile Welfare-Correctional Services” and “Financial
assistance to women and girl victim affected by cognizable offences” by over 9 percent and 25 percent
respectively.
 Under spending of resources continues to be a major area of concern in Protection Sector with an average of
25.1 percent being unspent during 2006-07 to 2009-10.

2010-11 113660.41 19623.18 166.64 0.85 0.15
2011-12 128542.02 24795.93 169.69 0.68 0.13
Clear from Table 9, on an average only 0.12% of total state budget was embarked for child protection
schemes/programme during 2007-08 to 2011-12. Although State Budget 2011-12 shows a meager
increase in budget outlays in child protection sector (that is, schemes/programme having direct or
indirect benefits to children’s rights to be protected) from `166.64 crore in 2010-11 (BE) to `169.69
crore in 2011-12 (BE), the share of this sector in total state budget has actually decreased to 0.13
percent from last year’s 0.15 percent. Similarly, within ‘budget for children’, the protection sector
receives only 0.68 percent in Budget 2011-12, thus far below the share in the year 2007-08 (0.90
percent)(refer table 9)
As depicted in the Chart, there has been
growing influence of centrally Sponsored
Schemes in total allocation in protection
sector during 2007-08 to 2011-12. A
closer look at individual schemes tells
that massive increase in central grants
were for schemes such as, “Rehabilitation
Schemes for Bonded Labour and
Economic Support Programme”,
“Certified schools & homes”,
“Construction of buildings for
Correctional services” by `8.27 crore,
`3.10 crore and `3.16 crore respectively
during this period. Also “Services for
children in need of Care & Protection” got central allocation of `19.56 crore from 2010-11.
Key Issues :
 Despite commitment made in the Eleventh Five-Year Plan to take necessary measures to ensure
children’s rights to be protected, it is disconcerting to observe the least priority accorded by the
government in protection sector every year, even in the last year of the Plan to be ended. In
current budget, the ‘Protection Sector’ met with the same fate with meager increase in
allocation by only `3 crore over previous budget. Allocations under important schemes intended
for rehabilitating women in distress, such as ‘Schemes for setting up Women's Training
centers/ Institution for Rehabilitation of Women-in-distress’ has remained the same as last
year’s budget.
 There is no separate mention of the “Integrated Child Protection Scheme (ICPS) in the
present budget. Despite the introduction of ICPS in the state since 2009 that subsumes all
protection schemes, the scheme “Services for Children in Need of Care & Protection” which
comes under the umbrella of ICPS, experiences reduced allocation by `3.79 crore (from `53.45
crore in BE 2010-11 to `49.66 crore in BE 2011-12) in the present budget. However, there are
welcome increases in current budget in schemes to be implemented under the umbrella of ICPS

such as, “Juvenile Welfare-Correctional Services” and “Financial assistance to women and girl
victim affected by cognizable offences” by over 9 percent and 25 percent respectively.
 “Girl Child Protection Scheme” intended to promote
enrollment and retention of the girl child in school at
least till intermediate level shows a meager increase in
allocation from `60 crore in 2010-11 BE to `62 crore in
2011-12 BE. However, our calculation tells that in order to
reach all 32,895 girls (claimed by the Govt.) as per
prescribed norm (`1.00 lakh for single girl child and
`30000 each for two girl children), actual requirement is
`126.56 crore against the present allocation of `62 crore. Therefore, doubt arises on the actual
number of beneficiaries under this scheme.
 In a situation where the state has about 9 lakh child labourers as of 200712
, it is disconcerting to
observe the least priority accorded by the government in protection sector as compared to
other sectors, viz. child education, child development and child health. The govt. seems to be
less interested in rehabilitating bonded labour that is reflected in meager increase in allocation
in the scheme „Rehabilitation of Bonded Labour‟. Allocation for this scheme has increased
by only 7.20% from `10.70 crore in 2010-11 BE to `11.47 crore in 2011-12 BE. Most dismaying,
despite huge number of children to be rehabilitated in the state, the capital outlay on
“Rehabilitation of Beggars Maintenance of homes for beggars including Child Beggars” does not
get any amount in the current budget; neither the allocation got spent in 2009-1013
. Alike every
year, the total allocation under “Rehabilitation of Bonded Labour” remained unspent in the
year 2009-10.
National Child Labour Project (NCLP) is another scheme showing continuous decrease in
allocation since 2007-08.
12
This figure excludes out of school children who have not been taken into consideration while estimating child labour, but are
actual potential child workers as they are engaged in activities activities such as helping parents in household chores or
accompanying in work outside, that are not perceived as income-earning.

National Child Labour Project (NCLP)
“There is a need to address the rehabilitation of these children including shelter, education, food, health and
other needs and return to families based on review of their situations…” This is the statement made in
Eleventh Five year Plan (2007-12) Realizing huge number of children in labour force in the country in general
and major states like Andhra Pradesh. Launching the Centrally Sponsored Scheme such as, National Child
Labour Project (NCLP) to eliminate child labour and mainstream children into formal schooling system was a
welcome move by the government. Yet, the drastic fall in outlays in 2009-10 and moreover government claim
to cover more children with reduced allocation seems unrealistic. (refer Table).

CONCLUSION
“Economies are slowly and steadily recovering from the impact of recession which affected them in the last two
years… The Gross State Domestic Product (GSDP) at current prices for the year 2010-11 (Advance) is estimated at
`5,65,066 crores as against quick estimates of `4,75,267 crores for the year 2009-10 by registering a growth of
18.89 percent…”
 says the Hon’ble Minister for Finance of Andhra Pradesh in Budget Speech 2011-12
With the clear indication of state economy reviving steadily, the Government was expected to provide
adequate resources towards interventions which are promoting social sector development holistically.
However, apart from few positive moves in prioritizing education and health sectors, the overall state
budget 2011-12, has not provided satisfactory attention with regard to the overall development and
protection of state’s children. In a situation of continual food price inflation, a more sensitive resource
allocation under ICDS was expected to restrain its long term implication on the nutrition of new-born,
small children, new and would-be mothers. Moreover, despite poor outcome indicators on development
of children in the state, the development budget has been cut down this year. To our sheer
disappointment, interventions for children who are in need of care and protection (i.e., child protection
2009-2010 13,689 399.519

An attempt to calculate the required allocation against the need reflects that financial outlay for NCLP is
awfully inadequate even at the own estimates provided by Ministry of Labour and Employment in two
components, i.e, running of Project Society and Project School. With govt’s own estimate to provide
`54,36,400 to run one NCLP society, the estimated cost for running all 23 Project Societies in Andhra would be
`12.50 crore which is far below the released amount of Rs. 3.99 crore in 2009-10. Similarly, taking government
guidelines to provide for `2,44,400 to run one NCLP School, the total estimate to run all 1023 NCLP schools in
AP works out to `25 crores against the meager 3.99 crore released for total NCLP in 2009-10..

sector) has met with the same fate receiving least priority from the Government despite the centrally
sponsored ‘Integrated Child Protection Scheme (ICPS)’ is being launched since 2009. Also there is much
that remained unaddressed such as interventions for children who are exposed to various kinds of
difficult circumstances. How then will it be possible to tackle the atrocities our children face every day?
On the whole, the state budget 2011-12 once again failed to address holistically the continuous deficits
especially with regard to development, survival and protection of children in the state.
