Dr. Kinjal V. Ahir

Abstract :

 Education is on the concurrent list, yet largely State governments shoulder bigger responsibility by expenditure on education than Centre. The current research paper analyses the interstate comparison of budgeted expenditure on education between states to identify the states that incur maximum expenditure on education and its various sectors. Comparisons are made across plan and non–plan expenditure and on capital and revenue account. Interstate comparisons of expenditure on education across various sectors of education like elementary, secondary, technical and higher education had been done. The expenditure incurred on capital account and loans and advances were meager compared to those on revenue account. It was largely found that states like Maharashtra Uttar Pradesh, and Andhra Pradesh largely incurred more expenditure on education on revenue account across plan and non–plan expenditures and non–plan expenditure in particular with variations in the sequence. Also across various sectors these states largely incurred higher expenditure on education than other states.
