    "The purpose of the manual "Gender-Responsive Budgeting: Analysis of Budget Programmes from Gender Perspective" is to provide public officials working on gender budget analysis a simple tool on how to carry out the analysis. 
    Gender inequality poses a significant development challenge in India. The Global Gender Gap Index 2014 ranked India at 114 out of 142 countries. The ranking is based on a country’s ability to reduce gender disparities in four areas: economic participation and opportunity, education, political empowerment, and health and survival. Violence against women and girls persists, both in private and in public spaces. As a response to these challenges, India adopted ‘gender-responsive budgeting’ (GRB) in 2005.
