Is increased allocation of government spending on social sectors reaching the poor?

"Of every 100 rupees government invest for social programme only 10 % reaches them", it's a fact, not only for rural India but it is true for urban India as well.

No doubt, the money allocated to social sector reaches common man, social project has seen the light of the day in congress regime, it's been initiated but it is at very slow pace. The big chunk of money goes into system, starting from minister to clerk, to person who release the payment. Thus rather increasing the budget for this kind of programme, money should be invested in implementation of the programme.

No it is not.

How can it actually reach the poor when the route it takes is through some of the corrupt portions of the system?

Esha,

I agree in totality with you that increased allocation of Government in the social sector is not reaching to the class it is meant for. Now let's look at the cause for the same. Till now, people in the system use to put an excuse as they are not adequately paid so they are corrupt and the right of the deserving class gets compromised. But after sixth pay commission, this complain is no more valid. Now it is matter of integrity and practice if it does not happen. Only allocating will not help until there are strict measures that ensure that the benefits of these allocations reach to the class they are meant for.

           At the contrary, I have a small difference of opinion on the quoted statement with you – “The Union Budget today is an exercise which is irrelevant; unimpactful and pretty meaningless when it comes to the real people of India seeking real solutions for their everyday life.”

           Rather it is an important exercise (planning) properly done and unimpactful because of improper execution. Your concluding line says it all – OPERATION SCUCCESSFUL, PATIENT DEAD…

Budget is a boring and meaningless affair in India. Infact every economic activity happening in an year should be a precursor to the budget for the next year. The decision they make has no bearing on how the country is perfomring. Look at poverty we had it all the years from Independence and did any of the budget address that issue. They pay Air India 800cr to keep it flying, like robing Peter to pay Paul kind of activity. No social insrance or unemployment insurance as such. There are lots of things that can be said about the budget, but there is no point in saying anything much. This whole independence and the aftermath had been a travesty a hog wash. It was done by some Neurotics and anything coming in their scale is nothing better than nerosis.

To some extent u r right Esha. But we just cant keep blaming the constitution. And taking the fact under consideration that we the youth who termed ourselves to be educated and a streamline of extreme curve with an pseudo expectation that we could bring paradigm shift in the financial process of these rooted corruption, are in fact an idle money which is still awaiting for a prompt credit partner to minimize our risk factor. Let things change. What better option do we have rather than making adjustments. If yes, then there's only way which seems to be a quite clear within this hurdle. Have a back up.

Nice debate. Thanks for this topic.
