The issue of engendering development and women empowerment has been in the central stage with the shifting of paradigms of development and governance at the global level, particularly in India. Gender budgeting has emerged as an important instrument for gender mainstreaming and women empowerment across the globe. It has been well recognized by the policy makers and feminist economists that gender budgeting is imperative for gender equality and engendering development.

Studies show that programmes and policies are designed to improve women's economic opportunities lead to higher rates of economic growth. Gender budgeting has gained prominence in the policy circles in the recent years. Though, gender budgeting has been widely recognized tool for gender mainstreaming and engendering development, however, the analysis of gross budgetary support for women specific programmes in India demonstrates that there has been meagre share of public expenditure as against national budgets.
