Description

The Reserve Bank of India compiles the budgets of the State Governments and the UTs of Delhi, Puducherry and Jammu and Kashmir into its annual study State Finances: A Study of Budgets. Share of each State's and UT's aggregate expenditure that goes to education and to medical and public health and family welfare, in percent, as a yearly series from 2006-07 to the budget year of the latest edition. Education includes sports, art and culture and both measures cover revenue expenditure and capital outlay. The series lets a reader compare Kerala's priorities with other States over many years. Three editions are included (2023-24, 2024-25 and 2025-26). Each edition gives the accounts of the year before last, the revised estimate of last year and the budget estimate of the budget year, so a year can appear in several editions with different estimate types and slightly different values. The table has 3,348 rows, one per State or UT, reference period, estimate type and measure, with the State name as printed beside its LGD code.
