Madhya Pradesh spends ₹8 a day on a child’s nutrition (₹12 for severely malnourished) but ₹40 a day on a cow and these rates haven’t been revised since 2017 despite 35% of children being stunted.

In a Country aiming for ‘Viksit Bharat,’ what does this budget choice say about our priorities?

A) Children come first — Urgently revise and double nutrition budgets.

B) Skewed priorities — More value on cattle than kids.

C) Political optics — Welfare talk without real investment.
