Answer 1



o other country in the world spends 6.5 times on defence to what it spends on health. This is a very special kind of political insanity that has gripped India for decades and sadly it did not change in this Budget either.

The NDA has pegged defence spending at Rs 229,000 crore, while allocating just Rs 36,000 crore to health, almost exactly what the UPA did. Even after including state and local budgets, India's total government health spending will barely be Rs 125,000 crore, about Rs 1,000 per person. That is an abysmal 1.3% of GDP, while the global average is 11% and the average for developing countries 3-5%.
