Declining Priority... !

The share of education expenditure within the total Union Budget has experienced a consistent decline between 2009 and 2025. Data indicates that the allocation dropped from 4.77 percent in the final year of the UPA-2 government to 2.50 percent under the current administration. This reduction represents a decrease of nearly 50 percent in budgetary priority for the education sector over the observed period. The figures reflect a downward trend in spending as a percentage of the total national budget across successive fiscal years.
