Abstract: This study is based on the fact that the implementation of the Act involves serious financial and governance challenges. Considering that different Indian states are at different stages of development both in terms of economic and educational indicators, these challenges are also likely to manifest differently. There are wide differences in total and per capita expenditure in elementary education across states, and states with low expenditures would need to garner additional resources to meet the RTE requirements.
