About This Dataset
The data provides a ministry-wise and scheme-wise breakdown of expenditure targeted for the welfare of children, offering a view of the government's cross-sectoral financial commitment to child development.
Data Quality
The data is highly consistent with official records. Missing values in financial columns indicate periods where specific estimates or actuals were not applicable for a particular sub-scheme. The 'Sl.No.' column correctly contains nulls for aggregate 'Total' rows within each ministry category.
Use Cases
Analyzing trends in public expenditure, fiscal auditing, research on sector-specific government funding, and comparative analysis of budget estimates versus actual spending.
Limitations
The dataset is limited to financial values and does not include performance indicators or outcomes of the schemes. Values are in specific units (likely Crores) which are standard for Union Budget documents.
Methodology
The data is extracted and aggregated from the 'Expenditure Profile' documents of the Union Budget of India for the respective fiscal years.
