Data on public expenditures in India is extremely difficult to access for the ordinary citizen. Information sources are scattered and not easily identifiable. Available government data is complex and hard to unravel.
Know your Budget is an initiative of the PAISA project. It is an attempt to create a one-stop shop for citizens, civil society organizations, policy makers and academics to identify data sources on social sector budgets in India. Under this project, regular budget briefs for social sector budgets of the Center and the States will also be available.
Key objectives include:
- To collate and make accessible budget data sources for the social sector.
- To undertake basic analysis on budget data including trends in allocation and expenditure patterns, center-state contributions and expenditures incurred at different levels of government.
