💨 Abstract

The Indian government has established a "gender budget cell" within the Ministry of External Affairs to evaluate the gender-related contributions of its projects. A parliamentary committee has recommended that the ministry should create a comprehensive monitoring and evaluation framework for all ongoing and upcoming development projects. The committee also commended the ministry for increased representation of women in the Indian Foreign Service, but urged for further efforts to enhance gender equality in professional advancement.
