Abstract: During 1992-97 external assistance in education contributed less than 5 per cent of the total of Rs 9,201 crore spent by the government (central and state) on elementary education. Of this a major chunk of Rs 450 crore was in the form of loans from the World Bank. According to government estimates, during the Ninth Five-Year Plan (1997-2002) external assistance is estimated to increase significantly to Rs 4,300 crore of which the loan component from the World Bank is Rs 3,700 crore.
