<http://datameet.org/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/RRAN_logo.png>Varun is a
researcher at ISB, led by Dr. Ashwini Chhatre, serves as the Research Node
of the Revitalizing Rainfed Agricultural Network - an India wide network
of NGOs, civil society organizations, researchers, policy makers and
think-tanks that aim to reconfigure the nature, amount and delivery of
public investments for productive and resilient rainfed agriculture. *
The Combined Finance and Revenue Accounts (CFRA)
<http://www.saiindia.gov.in/english/home/our_products/Accounts/Combined_Finance/2006_2007/CRF_06_07_Vol_1.pdf>report
is an annual report prepared by the office of the Comptroller and Auditor
General (CAG) <http://www.saiindia.gov.in/english/index.html>of India to
provides comprehensive Union and State government data on* audited* receipts,
revenue expenditures and capital outlay for different major, minor and
sub-minor heads.
Since the figures for actual expenditures on different heads may differ
from actual budget allocation by as much 15 to 20 percent, and that each
state might have different procedures of auditing, the CFRA data provides
reliable and fairly disaggregated figures of public expenditure, audited by
a central authority.
The research team at the Revitalizing Rainfed Agricultural Network (RRAN)
<http://www.rainfedindia.org/> has scraped and processed the CFRA data from
2005-06 to 2010-11 for all general and economic services to understand
statewide public investments in agriculture and allied activities, and
highlight the mismatch in investment and needs on the ground.
The processed data, along with detailed information for each head can be
forked here <https://github.com/rainfedindia/open-data/tree/master/cfra>.
Although the data is only available at the state level, it can provide
valuable insight on not just public expenditure in other domains such as
urban development, health, central and state sponsored schemes, but also
highlight the differences in budget allocation and actual spending of
various government heads.
*Revitalizing Rainfed Agricultural Network (RRAN)
<http://www.rainfedindia.org/> has practice and policy node that generates
ground based evidence and block, district and state level for policy
engagement, the research node’s objective is to generate evidence for
testing key hypotheses to enable an articulation of the nature and
magnitude of public support needed to fuel growth of India’s rainfed
agriculture. To facilitate this, a Data Center has been set up with the aim
of acquiring, reconciling, processing, visualizing and disseminating pan
India datasets to assist in exploratory analysis and develop research
hypothesis, backing up policy advocacy through scientifically rigorous data
analysis, and implementing data-driven decision-making tools for program
implementation by grass-roots level organizations.*
