This
is an electronic newsletter on our Project titled “Promoting State
Accountability and Citizen’s Empowerment through Budget Analysis”
which is being implemented in Rajasthan, a state in North-West India. The
project primarily aims to analyse budgetary provisions and achievements of
targets of programmes and schemes meant for target groups, viz. women,
marginal farmers and landless labourers.
The
title ‘The 5th Estate’ has been derived from the definition
of democracy, as it denotes the people on whom it’s other four
pillars rest: the legislature, the judiciary, the executive and the media. It
means, “The State derives its rights from the power of the people”.
The
purpose of this bulletin is to provide regular update on the activities
taken as part of the Project. |
