2.1 Public expenditure on education: 

Statement-2 shows the public expenditure on education in India during the period 1951-52 to 2001-2002. The expenditure on the education sector was slightly less than 1% of the GDP in 1951-52. The percentage expenditure to GDP shows an irregular rise and fall. It rose to 2.33% in 1972-73 but in 1973-74 declined to 2.15%. It increased to 3.07% in 1979-80 and decreased to 2.83% in 1981-82. Continuing to rise and fall slightly, it has reached a level of 4.02% in 2001-2002. Similarly, the percentage of expenditure on education and training to total expenditure of all sectors during the last five decades indicates that it has increased from 7.92% in 1951-52 to 13.17% in 2001-2002 i.e. by 5.25 percentage points during the last five decades. This translates to an annual average growth of 0.11% during the period 1951-52 to 2001-2002.
