Abstract :

<p>&nbsp;The adoption of new economic policy by India after the economic crisis of 1991 requires an assessment of the reasons to validate its adoption. The crossing of two decades has given rise to new issues and a need to adopt new approach. This paper reviews the trends in social expenditure made by state government of Madhya Pradesh and analyses the allocation made and the progress made in the education area. Results show that despite a positive degree of high correlation between net district domestic product and literates, the relationship between per capita income and literates did not hold to be high though the relationship between all the selected variables stood to be significant. Net Enrolment ratio of the state has increased but the outlay on general education as percentage of social services outlay has decreased in the 12th plan.</p>
