Abstract: This paper deals with empirical quantification of distributional impact of government expenditure on selected social services like education, health, medical and family planning at state level. The distributional impact has been quantified in accordance with three alternative points of view. The findings suggest that producers of food grains, who happen to constitute the majority of state’s population are benefited the least from government expenditures when quantification is done according to income approach. The paper also brings out that most of the government expenditure is spend to substain the public organization concerned and very little of it percolates to ultimate beneficiaries in terms of relevant goods and materials.
