Government investments in social sector has always played an
important role in tackling social issues and facilitated in the
alleviation of poverty. Hence, budgetary expenditure to be
mobilized for such investments needs to be efficiently allocated
and utilized to maximize the greatest good. This book focuses on
the social sector in India and provides an overview of the sector.
The book looks at 15 major Indian states between the year 2000-2011
to see how these states had invested in social sector and whether
they had met the criteria of efficient social sector investment.
Using stochastic frontier models, the book provides an efficiency
norm and making use of this normative estimate, it compares
performance across 15 Indian states and suggests important policy
implications to improve the future performance of the social
sector. The book adopts various quantitative techniques in the
analysis and establishes that inefficient and inappropriate
allocation of inputs was made in both health and education sectors.
The book suggests that such problems and future challenges could be
overcome by an appropriate mix of emphasis in different activities.
This book will provide insight for those who want to learn more
about how to build the capacity of the social sector in more
efficient manner by exploring the social sector of India.
