NEW DELHI: PM Modi on Saturday reached out to floor leaders of all parties in both Houses, seeking their support for the unanimous passage next week of the women’s reservation bills that aim to earmark a third of the seats in the Lok Sabha and assemblies from 2029. “After extensive deliberations, we have reached the conclusion that the time has now come to implement the Nari Shakti Vandan Adhiniyam in its true spirit across the country. It is imperative that the 2029 Lok Sabha elections and assembly elections are conducted with women’s reservations in place,” Modi wrote, signalling his govt’s intent to push for passage of the bills during the session starting April 16. “Your support… will be the fulfilment of an important responsibility towards the women of our country,” PM wrote in the letter exclusively accessed by TOI.BJP will need oppn backing for 2/3rd majority on women’s billThe outreach comes against the backdrop of resistance by opposition parties to govt’s plans for swift implementation of the quota instead of waiting for completion of the 2027 Census: something that would almost ensure that women’s reservations don’t come into force before 2034 Lok Sabha polls.BJP will need the support of opposition parties to get the two-thirds majority required to ensure passage of the constitutional amendment in Parliament.Stressing that the cause of women’s reservation in Parliament and state legislatures was higher than any one party or individual, Modi said: “It is a moment to demonstrate responsibility towards women and future generations. Since all political parties have expressed the desire to increase women’s representation in politics for a long time, this is the right time to turn that aspiration into a reality.”The women’s quota bills seek to de-link implementation of women’s quota from the findings of 2027 Census and propose it to be based on 2011 Census instead.In his letter, PM recalled the unanimous support for the women’s quota bills his govt had moved in 2023, terming it as “a memorable moment that reflected our unity”.He also seemed to address the opposition’s reservations about the timing of the passage of bills by recalling that all parties had favoured early implementation. “During those deliberations (in 2023)… There was a broad consensus that the provisions of this historic law should become effective at the earliest. Leaders from many parties were of this view…” he said.The amendments will result in the number of seats in Lok Sabha rising from 543 to 816, with 273 reserved for women. Earlier this week, the Union Cabinet had cleared the amendments, with three bills to be introduced: Constitution (131st Amendment) Bill, Delimitation Bill and a legislation to extend the reservation for women to Union territories, such as Delhi, J&K and Puducherry, which have legislatures.In his letter, PM said constitutional experts have been consulted on the issue, and govt has also engaged in a dialogue with political parties.The proposed amendments are a “strong step” towards enhancing participation of women who account for half the population, he stressed.End of ArticleFollow Us On Social MediaVideos”Don’t Assume It’s Over” Rajnath Cautions On West Asia ConflictJag Vikram Leads Way, First Indian Ship Through Hormuz Post CeasefireSupreme Court Clarifies: Right To Vote And Contest Elections Not Fundamental Rights, But StatutoryCDS General Anil Chauhan Says All Services On The Same Page On Theatre CommandTharoor Attacks Pak, Says Terror History Can’t Be Wiped Out Before TalksMaha Vir Chakra Awardee Col Sonam Wangchuk Passes Away; Kargil War Hero Remembered For BraveryIndia Sends Second Medical Shipment To Iran, Wins Praise Amid Ongoing Regional Conflict CrisisVikram Misri’s Paris–Berlin Visit: India Pushes Defence, Energy & Trade Ties Amid Global TensionsUP’s Massive Voter List Reset: 8.43 Million Added, 13.2% Deleted in Longest-Ever RevisionNitish Kumar’s Rajya Sabha Oath Triggers Bihar Leadership Buzz: Who Will Be the Next CM?123PhotostoriesFrom calling ‘Sweetu’ in Kal Ho Naa Ho more than just a ‘fat friend’ to speaking about her divorce with ex-husband Rajeev Paul and alimony, Delnaaz Irani opens up about her lifeWhy homemade paneer turns hard and 5 smart tips to fix it at home5 signs someone is draining your energy- And how to deal with themBollywood who?

NEW DELHI: Even as India allocates thousands of crores of rupees annually for child vaccination, RTI data shows that a significant share of funds remains unspent, raising questions over implementation in one of the country’s largest public health scheme – National Immunisation Programme. Under the programme – which provides free vaccines to protect children against multiple diseases, including polio, measles and hepatitis B – allocations have risen to over Rs 3,400 crore in 2025-26, but spending has consistently lagged behind. In 2023-24, about Rs 2,250 crore was utilised against the Rs 3,232-crore approved, while in 2024-25, expenditure dropped to around Rs 1,971 crore against the Rs 3,186-crore sanctioned. For financial year 2025-26, only about Rs 1,060 crore was spent – data till Dec and marked provisional – out of the Rs 3,434-crore approved. The data is based on financial monitoring reports submitted by states and UTs. Despite this, the programme continues to operate at scale. Govt data showed that 2.3 crore to 2.5 crore children were vaccinated annually between 2021-22 and 2024-25. Full immunisation coverage has improved from 88.2% in 2021-22 to 98.1% in 2024-25, though it dipped slightly in 2023-24, data showed. RTI activist Amit Gupta said the programme is vital for protecting children and requires efficient, transparent use of funds with strong accountability. He also urged govt to expand coverage to include vaccines for influenza, typhoid and hepatitis, saying these are now essential for comprehensive child protection. However, the RTI response also points to gaps in data systems. Gender-wise vaccination figures were not provided and were instead referred to another division, indicating fragmented record-keeping. Vaccines are sourced from a network of public and private manufacturers, including Serum Institute of India, Bharat Biotech, Biological E and Indian Immunologicals.End of ArticleFollow Us On Social MediaVideos”Don’t Assume It’s Over” Rajnath Cautions On West Asia ConflictJag Vikram Leads Way, First Indian Ship Through Hormuz Post CeasefireSupreme Court Clarifies: Right To Vote And Contest Elections Not Fundamental Rights, But StatutoryCDS General Anil Chauhan Says All Services On The Same Page On Theatre CommandTharoor Attacks Pak, Says Terror History Can’t Be Wiped Out Before TalksMaha Vir Chakra Awardee Col Sonam Wangchuk Passes Away; Kargil War Hero Remembered For BraveryIndia Sends Second Medical Shipment To Iran, Wins Praise Amid Ongoing Regional Conflict CrisisVikram Misri’s Paris–Berlin Visit: India Pushes Defence, Energy & Trade Ties Amid Global TensionsUP’s Massive Voter List Reset: 8.43 Million Added, 13.2% Deleted in Longest-Ever RevisionNitish Kumar’s Rajya Sabha Oath Triggers Bihar Leadership Buzz: Who Will Be the Next CM?123PhotostoriesFrom calling ‘Sweetu’ in Kal Ho Naa Ho more than just a ‘fat friend’ to speaking about her divorce with ex-husband Rajeev Paul and alimony, Delnaaz Irani opens up about her lifeWhy homemade paneer turns hard and 5 smart tips to fix it at homeBollywood who?
