Figures in brackets indicate the rank of the state with respect to the indicators.2. Expenditure under different heads has been estimated as the sum of revenue expenditure and capital expenditure (including loans and advances net of repayments).(Per cent)ratio than Bihar or Orissa. Hence, any analysisof public spending on human developmentmust go beyond the four ratios and factor inper capita public expenditure as well. Although,in Karnataka, absolute expenditure on socialsector and human priority areas as a proportionof both GSDP and total public expenditure hasdeclined, there has been an increase in per capitapublic expenditure at constant prices over the1990s level (Table 3.1.6). In fact, Karnatakahas had one of the highest growth rates of percapita public expenditures in the 1990s. Between1990-91 and 2001-02, Karnataka registeredthe highest percentage increase in per capitapublic expenditure among the 14 major states(Table 3.1.7). As a result, the state has movedup to the fourth place in 2001-02 from the ninthplace in 1990-91 in terms of per capita publicexpenditure. Similarly, the percentage increasein per capita social sector expenditure and percapita human priority expenditure in Karnatakawas next only to that of Gujarat and Maharashtrain the 1990s. Thus, Karnataka’s rank improvedover the decade, both in terms of per capita socialYearTABLE 3.1.6Per capita real expenditure on human development in Karnataka(Rupees)Per capita publicexpenditurePer capita socialsector expenditurePer capita socialpriority expenditure1990-91 1313 541 3001991-92 1435 577 3101992-93 1580 581 3051993-94 1606 634 3431994-95 1598 626 3371995-96 1677 631 3281996-97 1794 662 3381997-98 1783 685 3561998-99 1935 764 4021999-2000 2229 842 4622000-01 2437 923 4882001-02 2613 914 4782002-03 2520 866 439Note: Expenditure under different heads has been estimated as the sum of revenue expenditure and capital expenditure(including loans and advances net of repayments).Source: Finance Accounts of Karnataka, Accountant General, Government of India.43
