The budget work along with the advocacy
efforts at various levels has been an effective

responses from the political leaders who have
owned up the issue and urged policy makers
for improvement in expenditure decisions.
Like every year, we have endeavored to come up with a quick analysis within two weeks of the
expenditures and what the new interventions are to realize
commitments to ensure child rights. The present document is therefore an effort to analyse what
the government is offering to our children this year. We have taken the age of children as 18, which

Crore. In other words, the amount of money allocated to various children’s programmes is 17.24 per
cent of the record Rs. 113660.41 crore of total expenditure budgeted in the State for 2010-11. It is
interesting to see the magnitude of child budget within the state budget which has registered rise
from 13.74 percent in 2005-06 (BE) to 17.24 percent in BE 2010-11 (Refer Chart 1).
Chart 1: Allocation (BE) embarked for children as a proportion to total state budget (in %)

However, children (upto the age of 18 years) in the state constitute almost 41 percent of the state’s
total population and therefore the financial priority given to the children in the state budget is low to
address the need for all children holistically. Allocations (BE) on child specific sectors have actually
shown a decrease from 17.55% in the last revised allocation (RE, 2009-10) to 17.24% this year (BE
2010-2011), whereas state budget on the other hand have increased by 14.16% from RE 2009-10.
According to the promises made in the National Common Minimum Programme (NCMP), the
expenditure on Public Health and Public Education should be 3 percent and 6 percent of GDP
respectively to fulfill the minimum requirement in these two sectors. In the absence of state specific
recommendations on how much of Gross State Domestic Product (GSDP) should be spent on
public education and public health, let us take this NCMP promise as standard to analyse the share
of spending on these two sectors in state’s income. The GSDP in 2008-09 at current market price
was being pegged at Rs 3.71 lakh crore from 2.40 lakh crore in the year ended March 2006, which is
a growth of 55%1
. The share of public education2
and public health3
in GSDP is as low as 2.46 per
cent and 0.81 per cent respectively in 2008-09 which is much lower than promised in NCMP.
The share of allocation for School education department constitute major portion of total education
budget every year(80-85%). If we take the NCMP to be implemented in the State as well, it can be
calculated that out of the promised 6% of GDP expenditure on public education, at least 4.5% has
to be allocated on school education only. Similarly, if 3% of GDP was promised to be allocated on

The highly distorted sector wise share within the total quantum of allocation embarked for children
poses serious concern. As evident from Table 1, all new interventions proposed this year and
increase in allocation in existing schemes are pertaining mostly to education sector whereas
allocation for existing schemes in other three sectors- health, development and protection are not
stepped up to requirements.

The sectoral share within the Child Budget reveals that out of the total Rs. 19595.93 Crore budgeted
for children in this fiscal year, the share of education and protection stands at 74.87% and 0.85%
respectively which are little higher than last year whereas the share of development and health stands
at 23.63% and 0.65% showing declined share from 2009-2010 BE. Clear from the Chart 2, that
‘within the total State Budget 2010-11’, education sector has been given the top most priority with
12.91% of total state budget being allocated for schemes in education sector. Development, Health
and Protection sectors on the other hand have received 4.07%, 0.11% and 0.15% of total state
budget respectively.

between BE 2009-10 and BE 2010-2011.
However, our closer scrutiny tells that,
this huge increase is mainly because of the
higher allocation in technical education
(Polytechnics) as well as increased capital

The overall state government’s spending on public education as a proportion to the Gross State
Domestic Product (GSDP) stands at 2.46 percent in 2008-09, hardly showing any major
improvement since the year 2005-06 (refer table below). Therefore, taking the NCMP promise as a
standard to be applicable in states as well, we can say that the spending on education in the state as a
proportion to GSDP continues to be way below than the 6 percent of target set at the national level.

Chart 3: Centre and State funding on Education over the years
Centre-State fund sharing in
Education Schemes- The trend in
allocation and expenditure by the Centre
and the States over the years highlights
the increasingly important role played by
the Centre in States’ finance, particularly
in elementary education. A large
proportion of transfers from the Centre
are allotted to the States for
implementing Centrally Sponsored
Schemes (CSS) which has varied over
time and there is no such uniformity
over the years. As evident from the figure , the share in central allocation into education budget have
increased from 15.74 percent in 2006-07 to 17.01 percent in 2008-09 which was later decreased to
8.98 percent in 2010-2011.
Key issues
• The allocation on Education has increased from Rs.12344.67 crore to Rs. 14670.89 crore
between the BE 2009-10 and BE 2010-2011, thus an increase in share of education in state
budget from 11.93% in BE 2009-10 to 12.91 in BE 2009-2010. This is mainly because of the

• The national flagship programmes such as
KGBV, NEPGEL intended to focus on
girls from the disadvantaged sections like
those belonging to SC/ST, minorities etc.
NEPGEL programme is implemented on
“Model Cluster School Approach” in
Andhra Pradesh where KGBV is
providing residential facilities to children
of disadvantaged group. The budget
2010-11 reveals that allocation under
these two schemes has decreased from last year’s allocation (BE 2009-10) by 16.5% and
88.1% respectively. With this reduced allocations, govt’s claims regarding construction
of model school-buildings, additional classrooms etc under NEPGEL and overall
implementation status of these two schemes seems vague.
• To quote from the Budget speech for 2010-
2011, “…Government is effectively implementing Mid Day
Meal scheme up to tenth to motivate the students to attend the
school regularly. Model Schools are being established to achieve
qualitative change in primary education….”. However, the
commitment is not reflected in the financial allocation
for the scheme. Looking at this year’s outlays, we
could found that the scheme “Nutrition Meals
Programme for Primary and Upper-primary School”
has experienced reduced allocation by Rs.119.97 crore
(about 21%) although a considerable increase in capital
outlay towards construction of Kitchen sheds is
commendable. What poses the concern is the trend of
utilization pattern under this scheme, as also pointed
out by CAG that only 59 per cent of total budget
provision for implementation of MDM was spent
between 2003-2008. Our calculation says that 54% and 48% of the allocated fund remained
unspent in 2008-09 under “Nutrition Meals Programme for Primary and Upper-primary
School” and “Nutrition Meals Programme for High Schools” respectively.
• “The Government is implementing post-matric scholarship programme on a
saturation mode to provide scholarships and tuition fees to all eligible students of
SC, ST, BC, EBC, Minorities and Disabled whose parental income is below Rs.1 lakh
per annum…” (Budget Speech 2010-2011, by K. Rosaiah)
Irrespective of repeated mentions in each budget speech to provide quality education for
SCs, STs, disabled, minorities and thus to increase incentives and facilities to poor talented
children of deprived communities, Govt’s commitment looks vague if we look at various
scholarship programme and educational schemes intended for SCs and STs under education
as well as other departments. As revealed in State Budget 2010-2011, Scholarship schemes
such as, “Post metric Scholarships”, “Scholarships and Educational facilities to
As mentioned in AP Socio-Economic Survey
2007-08,Under NEPGEL,
• 5765 Model Cluster Schools are
operationalised
• 3398 schools receives books, sports and
music equipment and vocational
materials
• additional classrooms were constructed
in 3078 Model Cluster Schools
As identified by CAG 2007-08,
“…about 95 per cent of the funds released
by GOI towards construction of kitchen
sheds was not spent… during the five year
period 2003-08, only 59 per cent of total
budget provision for implementation of
MDM was spent…Mid-day meals were not
provided during summer vacations in
drought prone areas though stipulated in
guidelines…Not implemented in any of the
Educationally Backward Blocks despite
availability of Central assistance…”

Children of those engaged in Unclean Occupation” under Social Welfare Dept and
“Post metric Scholarships” under Tribal welfare departments have experienced reduced
allocation by 56.7%, 40% and 57% respectively. Also NO allocation is mentioned this year
towards “Scholarships for handicapped studying IX and above classes” under WCD
welfare department. However, new allocation towards Tuition Fees for SC and ST students
under the SW and TW department is a welcome move by the Govt. this year.
• Lack of trained teachers in schools has been hampering quality of school education in the
state. CAG 2006 revealed that 70016 teachers out of total 220891 in all schools of AP were
untrained and there is a shortage of 54730 teachers in the state. Less educated Vidya
volunteers are placed in schools which lack regular teachers. It poses even greater threat to
quality of education. In this backdrop, a decline in allocation under “SCERT” by over 73%
(From Rs. 14.04 crore in BE 2009-2010 to Rs. 3.80 crore in BE 2010-2011) is not justified.
• A closer look revealed that the new schemes mentioned in Education sector are actually
nothing but re-modeling of older scheme in new names. For example, Scheme for Universal
Access and Quality at Secondary Stage (S.U.C.C.E.S.S) that was started in 2008-09 with the
aim of providing Infrastructure Facilities in secondary schools has been remodeled as
Rashtriya Madhyamik Shiksha Abhiyan (RMSA)5
to implement on a Mission mode similar
to SSA with an allocation of Rs. 205 crore this year. Whereas in one hand, such initiative is a
welcome move by the central govt, one can only hope that this will not end up as being run
like SSA.
5
Rashtriya Madhyamik Shiksha Abhiyan (RMSA) is a WB supported scheme that aimed at expanding and
improving the standards of secondary education — classes VIII to X with 75:25 central and state share basis
that will reduce to 50:50 in 12th Five Year Plan.

Key issues
• As was the case with state budgets presented during the year 2005-06 to 2009-10, this year’s
budget also shows a meager increase in resource allocation on child health schemes. The
allocations on scheme/programme that have direct or indirect bearings on children received
only 0.11% of the total state budget; 2.98% of the total budget allocated for the Ministry of
Health and Family Welfare and 0.65% of the total allocation meant for children (BfC
comprising all four sectors) in 2010-2011 BE.
Chart 4: Share of Child Health in total BfC and total AP state budget
• Calculation states that the allocation on child health schemes has increased by only 6.52
percent (from Rs. 120.09 crore in 2009-10 BE to Rs. 127.93 crore in 2010-11 BE). This has
to be seen against an increase in allocation under Ministry of Health and Family Welfare by
12.93% in 2010-2011 from last year’s Budget Estimates.
• There is no considerable stepping up of allocation in important health schemes pertaining to
children. Important schemes such as, “Reproductive Child Health(RCH) Programme”,
“Sukhibhava”, “Training of Auxilliary Nurses, Midwives, Dayas and Lady Health Visitors”,
“ANM Training schools run by local bodies and Voluntary org” etc. are given same
allocation as last year, whereas allocation for “Employment of A.N.Ms” is reduced by 29%
from 2009-10 BE. Allocations have stepped up for schemes like, “RCH Programme”, “Post
Partum Scheme” and “Manufacture of Sera and Vaccine” under Health & Family welfare
department.
• Under utilisation – One of the certain concerns emerged out in the analysis of state
budget of various years was regarding the expenditure pattern as depicted in table
below in the difference between the BE and AE. There has been huge under spending in
Child Health sector in all four years with an average of 27% of total fund allocated remained
unspent (refer table below). Closer scrutiny tells that a number of important schemes have
experienced under spending of allocated fund by more than 30% in the year 2008-09. To

Center-State funding in Development
Schemes – Central allocation plays an
important role in schemes/programme
taken under development sector in this
study. As depicted in Chart 5, there has
been tendency towards centralisation of
allocation in development schemes.
Growing influence of Centrally Sponsored
Schemes in total allocation in development
sector was observed between 2006-07 and
2007-08 that decreased further to 18.30%
in 2009-10 indicating positive move by the
state government. The present year
observes an increased influence of central grants once again where 20.37% of total allocation was
funded by central govt in various schemes. A detailed look at individual scheme tells that central
grant is increased for ICDS scheme with introduction of new “Training programmes under ICDS”
and increased capital outlay for Construction of Buildings for Anganwadi Centres under special
component plan for SCs and Tribal Area Subplan. Another scheme “Kishre Shakti Yojna” has also
received the central grant of Rs.15.79 crore in 2010-2011 against last year’s grants of only Rs.4.23
crore.
Key Issues

that is intended to provide nutritional support to children as well as women has received
reduced allocation by Rs. 301.31 crore in BE 2010-2011.
• “Our Government is committed to providing qualitative Supplementary Nutritious
Food (SNP) to the children below the age of 6 years, and to pregnant women and
lactating mothers. To bring down the under-nourishment levels among the children,
the allocation for SNP is doubled to benefit 40.05 lakh children and 10.43 lakh
women…”(Budget Speech 2010-2011, by K.Rosaiah)
The most important scheme ICDS has
shown an increase in allocation from
Rs. 530.65 crore to Rs. 633.33 crore
between 2009-10 and 2010-2011
because of the introduction of the new
sub-scheme “Training programme”
under ICDS. In the absence
component wise segregation of
allocations mentioned in demand for
grants, we could not calculate the exact
amount allocated for only
“Supplementary Nutrition
Programme(SNP). However, as per
our calculation, this “Supplementary
Nutrition Programme” component of ICDS requires Rs.240 crore to reach 40.05 lakhs of
children that Govt. intends to cover at prescribed norm of Rs.2/- per child per day in 300
feeding days. The issues of greater concerns are on how will the current outlays of
Rs.633.33 crore be sufficient in reaching adolescents, pregnant/ lactating mothers, in
maintaining the operational and resource cost in existing centres, in reaching more
habitations and an even larger issue of ensuring quality?

• The state government seems to be less interested in rehabilitating bonded labour which is
reflected in insufficient allocation in the scheme ‘Rehabilitation of Bonded Labour’. The
allocation for “Rehabilitation of Bonded Labour” has increased by 7% from Rs. 10 crore in
2009-10 BE to Rs. 10.70 crore in 2010-11 BE. Allocations under important schemes
intended for rehabilitating women in distress, such as ‘Schemes for setting up Women's
Training centers/ Institution for Rehabilitation of Women-in-distress’ and “Financial
assistance to women and girl victim affected by cognizable offences” has remained the
same as last year’s budget.
• Allocation for “Girl Child Protection Scheme” is
enhanced to Rs. 60 crore from last year’s budget
(2009-2010 BE). As per our calculation, there is an
actual requirement of Rs 133.05 crore to reach all
33,594 girls (claimed by the Govt.) as per prescribed
norm (Rs.1.00 lakh for single girl child and Rs.30000
each for two girl children). Thus, a huge shortfall of
allocation is noticed. Therefore, question may
arise on the actual number of beneficiaries under this scheme.
• Under utilization- The major area of concern while analyzing the state budget in
protection sector has been the underspending of allocated funds in schemes
indented for ensuring child protection. Clear from the table below, there has been huge
under-spending as depicted in the mismatch between the BE and AE in all four years. Closer
scrutiny on individual schemes shows huge under-spending of over 50% of allocated funds
in 2008-09 in some of the important schemes such as, “Services for Children in Need of
Care & Protection”, “Financial assistance to women and girl victim affected by cognizable
offences under C.R.P.C”, “Rehabilitation of Beggars Maintenance of Homes for Beggars etc.
100% under utilization of allocated resources is observed for “Rehabilitation of Bonded
Labour” and “Juvenile welfare Training” showing Govt.’s indifference with regard to its
responsibility for children in difficult circumstances.
