Government expenditure patterns have changed tremendously over the last few years, especially in developing countries like India. Many studies found a positive relationship between government spending and rural development and poverty reduction and thereby economic growth. For a country like India, whose proportion of the rural population is about 70 per cent, governments' efforts in the form of its expenditure toward rural development are vital. It is also essential to analyze the relative contribution of various expenditures to rural development and reduce the poverty of rural people. The purpose of this paper is to review and analyze the head-wise budgetary and actual expenditure on the various centrally sponsored scheme for rural development of India.
