Promises Made in the 2009 Election Manifesto of the Indian National Congress
Commitment in 2009 Election Manifesto: every district headquarters hospital would be upgraded to provide quality health facilities to all
A benchmark for public spending on district hospitals (developed by CEHAT in Maharashtra) suggests an annual recurring cost of Rs. 2,50,000 per bed in such a hospital,
It translates into an annual recurring cost of around Rs. 3000 crore for the whole country (assuming 200 beds per hospital for the 600 districts in the country)
The amount of funds allocated in Union Budget 2009-10 for strengthening of district hospitals was nowhere close to this figure

Promises Made in the 2009 Election Manifesto of the Indian National Congress
Union Budget allocation for a new scheme, called District Hospitals , had been only Rs. 68 crore in 2008-09, which was reduced to Rs. 36 crore in 2009-10 (BE)
In the financial year 2008-09, under the National Rural Health Mission ,
(a) Rs. 42.3 crore was spent on Upgradation of District Hospitals
(b) Rs. 61 crore was spent on ‘Strengthening of District and Sub-divisional Hospitals’ and
(c) Rs. 12.4 crore was spent on ‘Corpus grants to Hospital Management Societies / Rogi Kalyan Samitis’ for District Hospitals.

Low Emphasis on Long Term Development and Empowerment of the SCs and STs
Of the funds shown as earmarked for SCP and TSP, a large chunk is meant for basic social services and employment generation programmes, with no emphasis on providing funds for long term development and empowerment of the SCs and STs
Only the following Ministries of the Union Govt. have reported sizeable magnitude of funds earmarked for SCs / STs
- Ministry of Tribal Affairs
- Ministry of Social Justice & Empowerment
- Dept. of Rural Development (Min. of RD)
- Ministry of Women & Child Development
- Ministry of HRD
- Min. of Health & Family Welfare
