Caters to all citizens’ demands

Blind to caste, creed, sex and ethinicity... beyond discrimination

The Australian feminist economist Rhonda Sharp first realised the need of a gender responsive budget, gender-based assessment of budget, including a gender perspective at all levels of the budgetary process and restructuring revenues and expenditures in order to promote gender equality. Since inception, over 50 countries have adopted it. France incorporated gender related budget statement and a fixed ministerial expenditure since 2000. Government offices in developed and advanced countries like Australia, Sweden, Denmark, Norway, Finland, Ireland, Nordic countries and many developing countries like Rwanda, South Africa & Uganda have taken gender issues seriously.

This gives equal opportunities to all categories of citizens, regarding their rights and demands, which it incorporates, to uplift them, irrespective of caste, creed & language, ethnicity et al.
