'Nari Shakti Is an Empty Slogan, Budgets Have Ignored Women's Needs'

In this episode of ‘Budget 2025: What’s at Stake?’, renowned economist and professor Ritu Dewan talks about how the government’s claims about “empowering” women and “Nari Shakti” are in fact empty slogans, while in fact spending and budgetary allocations on areas that would benefit women – skilling, food security and so on – have decreased.
