Child budget analysis is important to determine how significant child rights are for the policymakers. it demands accountability from the state regarding its approach and planning for children's overall development. The book also discusses the current state of various schemes, scholarships and health-related projects meant to benefit children. It analyses the Assam child budget with focus on the state government's approach to improving girls' education.
