Estimate of Non-recurrent (one time) expenditure requirements.
Estimates of non-recurrent expenditure requirements are difficult to quantify, but from the estimates prepared by the Central Universities Group for OBC reservations and the estimates prepared for Delhi University colleges, the figures have been suitably adjusted. As compared to the Group’s estimated requirement of Rs 4 lakh per student, a low requirement of Rs 40000 per student on account of non-recurring expenditure has been estimated.
5.2.7 It may be mentioned that the per student expenditure for Central Universities finally recommended by the Oversight Committee for Social Inclusion are 1.62 lakhs (non-recurring) and 1.21 lakhs,( recurring, per year). These are lower than the Group’s estimates, but are still much higher than the Working Group’s estimates. The rationale for taking such low requirements as a basis here is that most of the additional enrolment is likely to be in colleges at undergraduate level, which would need good but relatively unsophisticated expenditure. The expenditure requirement is, however, admittedly on the lower side for enrolments which will take place in post-graduate university campuses.
5.2.8 This non-recurring expenditure has been estimated only for additional enrolments. In the calculations, it has been assumed that the total non-recurring expenditure will spread over five years in the following ratios: 10%, 15%, 25%, 25% and 25%.
