                    CLARIFICATION REGARDING USE OF WOMEN COMPONENT PLAN

Vide letter no. PC/SW/1-3(13)/09-WCD, dated, 5th January, 2010, Planning Commission, Government of India, has stated that, "the concepts of Women Component Plan and Gender Budgeting are not complementary but often contradictory and the world over countries have moved to using Gender Responsive Budgeting as a tool for gender mainstreaming and ensuring gender equity" and has clarified that, "Women Component Plan should no longer be used as a strategy either at the Centre or at the State level. In its place as already initiated by the Ministry of Finance and Ministry of Women and Child Development, we should adopt Gender Responsive Budgeting or Gender Budgeting only".

 

                    Kind Attn.

' In order to institutionalize Gender Budgeting and sensitize officials of Ministries, Government Departments and PSUs, it has been decided with the approval of the competent authority that proposals from NGOs (including those recevied from NGOs till date) will not be considered under the Gender Budgeting Scheme, at this stag. Any further change in the decision will be posted on this website.'
