Expenditure Analysis DPEP: Phase - 1

Abstract

Information on expenditure incurred in 42 DPEP phase-I districts is now available for 5 years. Tis report is an attempt to analyse the expend iture pattern in phase I over time. As per DPEP guidelines the overall expenditure on ‘civil works’ and ‘management’ should not e;;eed 24% and 6% respectively o f the total expenditure during the whole project period. For the renaming 70% expenditure, districts have the freedom to use the money as per need. Thus ‘civil works’, ‘management’ and ‘others’ (also known as “70%”) are important categories for the programme inerms of guidelines and these categories have formed part of the analysis.
