The Economic Survey of Maharashtra 2024-25 has highlighted a significant decrease in funds allocated for women’s schemes in the state. According to the survey, there has been a 57% decline in the number of inmates at Shakti Sadan facilities and a 36% reduction in funding for women’s hostels. Additionally, women’s counseling centers have seen a 69% cut in allocations, indicating a concerning trend in supporting women’s welfare initiatives. These findings raise doubts about the government’s dedication to addressing the needs of women in Maharashtra despite a growing demand for such services. This revelation underscores the importance of prioritizing resources for women’s empowerment and well-being in the state.
