The Common Minimum Programme (CMP) announced by the Government in June, 1996 has shown strong commitment to the development of Social Sectors for achieving distributive justice. This commitment is reflected in the increase in Central Plan and non-Plan allocations in the 1996-97 budget. The allocation for Plan and non-Plan expenditure on social services as a ratio of GDP at market prices has risen to a record high at 1.19 per cent in 1996-97 (BE) as compared to 0.96 per cent in 1995-96 and 0.91 per cent in 1992-93. An additional amount of Rs.2466 crore of Central assistance to States and UT plans has also been allocated in 1996-97 budget for expenditure on basic minimum services as indicated in Box 10.1.
