Which of the following states presented the ‘Child Budget’ for the first time in March 2022 as a part of their annual financial plan?
Madhya Pradesh
Madhya Pradesh became the first Indian state to present a dedicated 'Child Budget' as part of its state Budget in March 2022.
Presented by then Finance Minister Jagdish Devda, the Child Budget consolidated the allocations of various departments — education, health, women & child development, tribal welfare and others — for schemes benefiting children up to the age of 18, presenting them together as a single, transparent statement. The exercise was aimed at ensuring accountability for outcomes on child nutrition, learning, protection and health.
Uttar Pradesh, Arunachal Pradesh and Andhra Pradesh have taken related child-welfare initiatives but did not present a dedicated Child Budget of this kind before Madhya Pradesh. Hence the correct answer is Madhya Pradesh.
