Following the money: allocations, targeting, expenditure and gaps in India’s SC/ST development budgets

SC & ST Budget Tracker — Bahujan Lives Matter data dashboard. Built from Union Budget Expenditure Profile Statements 10A, 10B and 1; the Ministry/Department-wise DAPSC Financial Summaries (e-Utthaan, Ministry of Social Justice and Empowerment) and DAPST Financial Summaries (Scheduled Tribe Component Monitoring System, Ministry of Tribal Affairs); the NITI Aayog DAPSC/DAPST earmarking guidelines; the Planning Commission SCSP/TSP guidelines (2006, 2014); and the Dalit Adivasi Budget Analysis 2026–27.
