Abstract: After the implementation of the Right of Children to Free and Compulsory Education Act (RTE) in 2010, states have brought about some improvement in school education in terms of infrastructure, enrolment, attainment, etc. The study examines whether states have injected more money into elementary education to accomplish the goal of RTE or it is routine incremental budgeting. The study also tries to answer larger questions like how inclusive is the public provisioning for education. While designing their budgets, in the planning and budgeting process, are states taking into consideration the requirements of socially- and economically-weaker sections of children like girls, Scheduled Castes (SCs), Scheduled Tribes (STs) and Muslims?
