It is obvious from the study that West Bengal has taken little initiative to promote true gender equality or to remove the barriers that prevent women from availing of public facilities offered by the state. Expenditure on education has not been sensitive to the special needs of girls. West Bengal's budgetary expenditure compared with its NSDP is lower than other major states. The government has not done much to improve its own resource position, complaining instead that it has been denied its due share in central revenues - a claim that does not stand up to scrutiny. - Reproduced.  aWomen - India  aWomen  aRoy, Poulomi  aEconomic and Political Weekly  a63142  c63142d63142  00104070aIIPAbIIPAd2018-07-19hVolume no: 39, Issue no: 44pAR63592r2018-07-19w2018-07-19yAR
