Abstract: The Orissa Government is allocating 91% of child budgetary resource to children’s education and only 9% to child development, child health and child in difficult circumstances all combined. The child budgetary resource allocation in Orissa has a greater tilt towards non-plan expenditure especially in the areas of child education and child health than child development and child in difficult circumstances. A greater attention towards non-plan expenditure has neglected the quality inputs in the field of education and health; as a result the quality of education and child health continue to lag in Orissa as compared to many states in India. Further, due to lack of consistent attention to the fields of child development and child in difficult circumstances, no remarkable change on the child development front has been noticed in Orissa. Thus the need of the hour is to change the direction of the child budgetary resource allocation towards development so as to see a better future for the children in the state.
