    The document discusses the budget impact on India's social sector. While the government's agenda includes increasing social spending, the actual allocations are not fully aligned with this intent. Major schemes see increases like 24% for education and 20% for healthcare, but social inclusion initiatives see smaller increases. Implementing programs effectively and addressing challenges like rising subsidies and gaps in implementation remain difficult.

    Challenges

     Rs 1.5 lakh crores gathered from 3G auction and divestment proceeds


    seems to have been used more towards meeting the fiscal deficit target of
    4.6%
     Likely sharp escalation in subsidies because of a rally in commodity
    prices putting further pressure on the government
     High future food subsidy allocation for implementing The Food Security
    Act
     The proposed 5% service tax on healthcare is sending conflicting signals
     Implementation gaps, leakages from public programmes and the quality
    of outcomes still pose a serious challenge
     Once the UIDAI project has been completed the government might
    dramatically increase the outlay for social sector schemes along with
    features like direct cash transfer keeping in mind the General Elections
