Abstract
We cannot visualize development without our socially excluded groups which include scheduled castes (SCs), scheduled tribes (STs), women and different religious minorities groups (RMGs), which constitutes 16.2%, 8.2%, 48.46% and 19.5% of the total population of our country. Of course person with disability, older people, street children and beggars also includes in this group but this paper has kept them aside for the purpose of the study and included only SCs, STs, women and RMGs. Different budgeting strategies adopted by successive governments to deliver budgetary outlays into outcomes in the form of physical and tangible benefits for above disadvantaged people is the central essence of this article.
