Abstract

In one of the other important annual publications of the MHRD, namely, `Analysis of Budgeted Expenditure on Education’, state-wise information is available on both budgeted and actual basis which is latest available for year 1996-97. The publication gives detailed analysis of budget provisions made by various States and Central Ministries for the development of education.

Along with the budgeted estimates, actual and revised expenditure of previous year is also disseminated. Basically, the publication is based on the demands for grants of the Central Ministries and the budget documents of the States & UTs presented in the State Legislatures.

Besides giving details in respect of plan and non-plan expenditure for various sectors of education, it also disseminates expenditure incurred on research and training of both formal and non-formal education by various departments in the States and Central Ministries. The publication is divided into two parts. In the first part, analysis of the year under review is presented while state-wise tables are included in the second part.

Methodology Design

The publication is based on the demands for grants of the Central Ministries and the budget documents of the States & UTs presented in the State Legislatures.

Data Quality Issues

The assistance given by the Centre to the States under the Centrally Sponsored Schemes has got accounted for twice, first as expenditure of Central Government and then as expenditure of the State Government. The flow of funds to States and Centrally Sponsored Schemes, therefore, needs to be identified and deducted from the expenditure of State Governments to avoid double counting. Time lag is an another important limitation.
