More scope of budget allocation on Education even after budget 2007-8

Filed under:

Though the allocation in India’s budget 2007-08 for health and education has been increased, there is scope for even more, feels Minar Pimple, deputy director (Asia), UN Millennium Campaign.

‘’The government has actually committed six percent (of the budget) to education and three percent to health,'’ Pimple told a telephonic interview.

This, he said, though marks an increase from the previous budgets, is still not enough from the UN’s Millenium Development Goals’ (MDGs) perspective.

‘’India still ranks 126th among 177 countries across the world in the human development index,'’ Pimple, who oversees the UN Millennium Campaign in 11 countries in Asia, said.

He pointed out that the MDGs closely resemble India’s National Common Minimum Programme (NCMP).
