How will India's Budget Empower its Women? | Union Budget 2024 | Vantage with Palki Sharma

India's budget has set aside almost $36 billion for schemes linked to women and girl empowerment. The finance minister promised to build more hostels for working women and urged states to reduce the stamp duty on properties bought by women. While land is considered a building block of growth, Indian women have historically enjoyed less access to it. Palki Sharma tells you what the budget means for India's women.

Remember the government of India can also say they can bring stars for women or for the people of India. It’s all written or printed very beautifully.

[thelittleinvestor]

According to Politicians, oppressing men is women empowerment.

[vakshaj]

the problem with india is that everythings will be one paper so perfect but nothing in ground

[NN_]

Will it actually reach women though? 🤔

[unknown.m.e]

It's a woman who is budgeting so no men should be blamed for this

[unknown.m.e]

I don't no about North but the south will use this stamp duty really well.

[a__rajdeep_ray]

Handing over employment to women is costing govt, men, business everyone

[vrn]

Even in corporate the first gender choosen for layoff are women.... Take a reference of one sector i.e. telecom alone total women workforce till 2016 and there after total layoffs in 2017-18 that's the truth of our country.

The constitution says government cannot discriminate on gender, etc but obviously that doesn’t matter when freebies and vote bank politics are concerned.

Maybe instead of this nonsense spend that lost tax revenue on improving public schools, courts and police systems so things like dowry, forced marriages, etc will stop being so prevalent.

What does this budget provide men..?? Why are they ignoring men.??

[songtsheringlepcha]

Very genuine issue, for indian people's!!

[aprajita.makeup.film.dramaa]

Empowering the SHGs is something, i feel is imperative to address.
"Half a century, to go from 33 to 37% female participation in workforce" should be evident enough to tell the ones who do not believe that gender disparity is a thing in reality.

[rajuyadav-bjfk]

WTF, yaha logo ko uske career and skills ke hisab se job nhi mil raha hai and this FM is wasting taxpayer money on workers with no talent, you will NEVER I MEAN NEVER beat either china or usa not even in next 500 years, take my written garantee.

[imperial_Dragnix]

India is on high fear of 2 front war
Indian men have to join army in any case of ww3
In that time having women in workforce would be great for india

[an_as]

Why these women always need support 🤔🤔. Why.. They are weak i think

[ajay]

Why govt need money to change land rights??

[ajay]

It’s all scam… 3L crores will disappear without accountability

[RamalingamKB]

Womens of Tamilnadu Left Indian Diaspora😂 after the Bihar and Andhra Federal Non-Union Budgeting😅

[ishajain]

You can clearly see the mindset of people through these comments. I don’t even need to give it any adjective, it’s so transparent…India will have no budget because of women empowerment schemes…why these women always need support…stop feminism…
These people will be all up in arms if the conversation is about our country and how the citizens were repressed for so long, how our culture needs to be revived, how fast we are progressing…literally anything under the sun is fine as long as it’s not related to women who have been repressed across centuries and across countries, who still face bias in a patriarchal family which is still more common than not in India, who bear almost the entirety of a household’s responsibility but do not get any appreciation for it, and the list goes on and on…this is the state of half of the population in our country and we can’t even talk about it because then we’ll be branded as weak, falling into feministic jingoism, wasting government’s precious resources…hats off the men in this comments section!
