Abstract

Economists and experts have been batting for bringing the fiscal federalism, the activist fora has been criticizing the newly brought in fiscal arrangements between Centre and States. This contradiction can be understood in the context of heavy budget cuts for most of the social security programmes and especially for children related programmes in the Union Budget 2015-16. With the shrinking fiscal space at the Union level for Centrally Sponsored Schemes, enhanced State autonomy to decide its expenditure towards social sector and thrust of privatization and consumer based relationship, HAQ, strongly felt that it is quite imperative for child rights group to gather and understand about these issues. This consultation was also an attempt to understand the governance issues and how these issues can be addressed in the new set of fiscal development.
