Anu Sharma

Abstract :

 Public expenditure in higher education recorded higher growth rate during first five year plans i.e. from 1951 to 1980. With the introduction of new economic policies,public expenditure started to decline in all spheres of social services including higher education . Hence, public expenditure in higher education recorded a lower growth rate during sixth five year plan to ninth five year plan and first two years of tenth five year plan i.e. from 1980 to 2004 as compare to first five year plans. It is matter of utmost shame that there has been regular deceleration of public expenditure in higher education across all states from 1980 to 2004. Among the selected states,Gujarat recorded highest compound annual rate of growth of 21 percent in Public Expenditure in Higher Education during 1950–51to 1979–80.Contrary to expectation, Bihar recorded highest compound annual rate of growth of 15 percent in Public Expenditure in Higher Education during 1980 to 2004.
