Equalizing Health and Education: Approach of the Twelfth Finance Commission
Published By: MSE on eSS | Published Date: March, 09 , 2006Service standards in the provision of health and education in the states in India are low on average and also characterized by large inter-state disparities. These disparities are due to differences in fiscal capacity, differences in revenue effort and differences in priority accorded to the concerned sectors. The transfers from the central to state governments in many federations are guided by the equalization principle. [Working Paper No. 8/2006] URL: [http://www.mse.ac.in/pub/sriva.pdf]
