प्रति बालक निधि वितरण में विसंगति (Per-Child Funding Distribution Discrepancy)
Definition
SSA directorates across Indian states independently determine per-child funding amounts without standardized methodology. Evidence shows Uttarakhand's SSA determined ₹16,596 per child while independent audits identified ₹22,050 as the correct cost—a ₹5,454 annual gap per student. This indicates either systematic underfunding of schools or hidden administrative losses.
Key Findings
- Financial Impact: ₹5,454 per child per year per state; estimated ₹13.6+ crore annual loss across large-enrollment states (assuming 250,000+ enrolled students per state)
- Frequency: Recurring annually; compounded across all school years
- Root Cause: Lack of standardized per-child funding formula; discretionary interpretation by state SSA directorates; no automated reconciliation between budgeted and distributed amounts
