Abstract

Telangana is the newest State in India, formed in June 2014. We focussed on an expost analysis on State's public financial management for children (C-PFM), incorporating the fiscal marksmanship of such spending. We observed that there are 58 child-specific schemes and programs across seven departments in Telangana, in which, the education sector has 79.48 percent of total child budgeting, constituting 8.45 percent of the total expenditure of the State. However, the outcome indicators showed that there are wide intra-State differentials related to selected indicators. The anthropometric indicators also reveal that malnutrition is a major challenge in the State . The Covid 19 pandemic has widened the digital divide in the education sector. The inferences from the public finance analysis for children (PF4C) undertaken in our paper provides the baseline analysis for the post-covid fiscal strategy for PF4C in Telangana.
