Abstract: Abstract Public budget reforms have become a buzzword and been very popular among many nations. India is no exception, and sub-national governments too have been making efforts to adopt varied forms of reforms. The present paper presents a critical account of the budget reform initiatives adopted in a fiscally progressive state—Karnataka with a special focus on the Program Performance Budget (PPB) attempted by the state with support from the United State Aid for International Development (USAID). The paper provides an outline of the PPB framework and critically evaluates the experience in Karnataka. It is argued that an essential requirement for PPB framework with an outcome focus to be truly meaningful is to identify the relevant outcome indicators and generate data to verify progress in that direction. India in general and Karnataka in particular have a long way to go in this endeavor.
