About This Dataset
The data provides a ministry-wise and scheme-wise breakdown of expenditure targeted for the development of tribal communities, offering a granular view of the government's financial commitment to tribal welfare.
Data Quality
The dataset is extracted from official parliamentary documents. It contains 460 records. Null values in 'Sl.No.' signify 'Total' aggregate rows for a specific Ministry or Demand. Data for 'Capital' columns is sparse as many welfare schemes are primarily revenue-based (grants, scholarships, etc.).
Use Cases
Analyzing social justice spending, tracking fiscal inclusion for marginalized communities, auditing the effectiveness of the SC Sub-Plan, and public policy research on affirmative action in India.
Limitations
The dataset focuses exclusively on the Scheduled Caste component and does not include general category or other minority allocations. Financial units are in crores of INR.
Methodology
Aggregated from the 'Expenditure Profile' (Statement 10A) of the Union Budget documents presented to the Parliament of India.
