‘CRY, an NGO, demanded that the Indian government should provide for greater funding of the Integrated Child Development Scheme (ICDS) in the budget for 2016-17.’
"With over 40% of child population below age five being stunted, focused investment needs to be carried out for altering the status of under nutrition. The total child budget had decreased from Rs. 81,075.26 crore in 2014-15 to Rs. 57,918.51 crore in 2015-16," said CRY. The organization also demanded improvement in the Mid-Day Meal scheme, investment of more resources in prevention of crime against children, and initiatives against child labor.
