The role health budget plays in India’s economy

The Union budget 2021 claimed a 137 percent increase in health and well being. However, the Union health budget still remains at about 0.34% of GDP – a slight increase from 0.31% last year’s budget estimate. The biggest scheme introduced in the past few years is the Ayushman Bharat scheme. In February 2020, the Finance Minister, Nirmala Sitharaman slashed the budget from Rs 6,400 crore to Rs 3,314 crore for the Ayushman Bharat Scheme. Also known as Pradhan Mantri Jan Aarogya Yojana (PMJAY), this scheme was rolled out to cover a population of about 50 crores. However, this scheme though has been underutilised and has not made health more accessible to people. With the unprecedented COVID-19 situation globally, India is also struggling with the health-related human resources of doctors, nurses and other healthcare workers. And, it’s important to understand the economic approach to handling the inequalities in the healthcare sector in the country. To know more about the role of health economics in the country and health budgeting, Kunika Balhotra, Suno India’s Research and communications Officer spoke to Dipa Sinha. Dipa is an Assistant Professor of Economics at the School of Liberal Studies, Ambedkar University, Delhi (AUD). Before joining AUD, she worked with the Office of Commissioners to the Supreme Court, Centre for Equity Studies and Public Health Research Network, and is actively involved with the Right to Food Campaign.

మహిళా కమిషన్ కోసం రెండేళ్లుగా నిరీక్షణ (Endless wait for a functioning Telangana women’s commission)

తెలంగాణ ప్రభుత్వం, గత రెండుళ్లుగా, రాష్ట్ర మహిళా కమిషన్ చైర్‌పర్సన్ పదవిని ఖాళీగా ఉంచింది. గత రెండు సంవత్సరాలుగా, రాష్ట్రంలోని మహిళా హక్కుల కార్యకర్తలు, ఎన్జీవోలు, న్యాయవాదులు…. ఇలా అనేక మంది, తెలంగాణ ప్రభుత్వానికి ఈ విషయం గురించి తరచుగా అభ్యర్థిస్తూ వచ్చారు. రాష్ట్ర మహిళా కమిషన్‌కు చైర్‌పర్సన్‌ను నియమించాలని జాతీయ మహిళా కమిషన్ కూడా తెలంగాణ ప్రభుత్వాన్ని కోరింది. అయినప్పటికీ, ప్రభుత్వం వైపు నుండి ఇప్పటివరకు సరైన స్పందన రాలేదు.. అసలు రాష్ట్ర మహిళా కమిషన్ విధులేంటి, కమిషన్ చైర్‌పర్సన్‌ను నియమించకపోవడం వల్ల రాష్ట్ర మహిళలు కోల్పోతున్నదేమిటి, మహిళా కమిషన్ పనితీరులో లోటుపాట్లు…ఈ విషయాలన్నీ ఈ వారం సమాచారం సమీక్ష ఎపిసోడ్ లో చర్చ విషయాలు. ఈ వారం సమాచారం సమీక్ష ఎపిసోడ్ కోసం, అయిషా మిన్హాజ్ లాయర్ వసుధ నాగరాజ్ గారితో మాట్లాడారు.(For over two years now, the State Women’s Commission of Telangana hasn’t had a chairperson. For over two years, the women of Telangana haven’t been able to benefit from a fully functioning women’s commission. Activists, women’s organisations, lawyers and the media have been voicing concerns and submitting representations to the government of Telangana, but in vain. This week’s Samacharam Sameeksha episode discusses the role and responsibilities of women’s commission, what a fully functioning commission can achieve, what the women of Telangana are losing out on and why we seem to have forgotten about the existence of this statutory body. Suno India contributor Ayesha Minhaz spoke to lawyer Vasudha Nagaraj for this episode. In October, the High Court of Telangana appointed Vasudha Nagaraj as amicus curiae in the PIL related to this.)
