- Ministry of Rural Development tops with 15% of the overall budget. According to latest census data, India has 593,731 inhabited villages. This budget translates to 14.78 Lac Rupees per village per year
- 5 Ministries (Human Resources Development, Petroleum and Natural Gas, Power, Rural Development and Railways) each have over 50 thousand crore Rupees (~USD 1.2 Billion) in budget and account for 57% of the overall budget. How transparently are these departments managed?
- Ministry of Women and Child Development gets 12,650 Crore Rupees. Has the standard of this segment of population dramatically improved?
I hope someone can point me to audits and quantifiable impacts for each department.
